ruling planet

Sign's celestial ruler

In astrology, a ruling planet is the celestial body believed to govern a particular zodiac sign, influencing the traits and destiny of people born under it.

Mars rules Aries, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and so on.

The concept extends to houses in a birth chart, where each house also has a planetary ruler.

With Mercury as my ruling planet, I'm supposedly quick-witted and restless.
