Unveiling the Astral Map: get to know the planet of each sign

In addition to the signs, the Astral Map is also formed by planets. In total, we have ten stars represented by astrology: Sun, Moon, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars and Pluto. Although they can be arranged in any sign on the Chart, each one is ruler of a specific sign (in the case of Venus and Mercury, two), influencing it most strongly.

However, it is worth remembering that you will not be influenced only by the planet that rules your sign. In the Natal Astral Map, we have all the stars and each one of them will influence us in a specific way, together with the sign and the house of their position.

Therefore, it is essential to understand the mission of all the planets, as well as that of their ruled signs to have a better understanding of your life and your astrological journey. The more interpretations you make, the more you will be aligned with your self-knowledge and purposes!

the planets

We can divide these stars into three groups: the Personal Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) that will talk more specifically about you, your emotions and your way of acting and thinking; the Social Planets (Jupiter and Saturn), which will focus on life in society; and the Transpersonal Planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), which will guide your transformations, rebirths and changes.

To better understand each of them, Check below a small summary of each star and find out which planet rules your sign!

Sun rules Leo

Your “personal self”, where you shine, have luck, success and good energies. In addition, the planet, together with the sun sign, define great traits of your personality.

Moon rules Cancer

Your emotions, intuitions, the way you feel. Here, it is also worth mentioning the maternal connection and fertility, as the Moon has a great influence on pregnancy.

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo

Your communication, the way you speak, think and express yourself. The star is also linked to learning and knowledge.

Venus rules Taurus and Libra

It shows how and what you love and value. It also has a strong connection with beauty, aesthetics and the arts.

Mars rules Aries

The place where you act, push and start. Here, their attitudes tend to be brave and, at times, quarrelsome. Mars even shows a starting place, as the “kick start” for something.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius

The planet promotes expansion, positive energies and luck. It is associated with what is also represented by Sagittarius and the 9th house of the Chart: travel, graduation and philosophies. It is where you meditate and pray.

Saturn rules Capricorn

His focus, seriousness and ambition. It’s the place where you have control and honor your commitments. Recognize your limits, don’t let you take chances.

Uranus rules Aquarius

The star facilitates big changes, breaks patterns and makes you free. In addition, it is linked to ideology, independence and mentality.

Neptune rules Pisces

Where your feelings run deep and you can dream and fantasize. With creativity and sensitivity stimulated, the star can promote a confusion between reality and imagination.

Pluto rules Scorpio

Its transformations, renovations and changes. Here, you are reborn. Pluto knows your deepest desires, those that are stored in your mind and soul. With its energy, the star encourages you to change and renew inside, outside and around you.

Now that you understand a little more about the planets, realize that their influences are very similar to those of their ruled signs and can still be associated with the houses of the Chart. In astrology, everything is related, so interpretations must be made considering the whole.
