It is very common, when studying astrology, to understand issues such as sun sign, moon sign and ascendant. However, what many do not know is that there are relationships between signs and deities, so that each astrological house of the zodiac is governed by a god or a goddess.

In other words, each sign is related to a specific deity. The study of Mythology is essential to the study of Astrology. Therefore, it is not by chance that Astrology is full of mythological components and one of these relationships is precisely the relationship between the gods and the constellations of the Zodiac.

In this article, we will give an overview of how Mythology serves as a background for Astrology. We reveal how personality traits of the signs relate to their ruling stars and gods. Find out below which planetary ruler of your sign and your divinity.

The God of the sign of Aries is Mars, in Roman mythology or Ares, according to Greek mythology. In addition to being ruled by the Fire element, Aries’ haughty and often impulsive personality is closely related to the essential characteristics of its element, star and ruling god. Check out.

The ruling star of Aries is Mars. Mars is the planet of outer activity and animalistic passion. Ruled by the element of fire, this planet has a strong masculine energy directed to action and is related to a volatile and impulsive temperament, as well as indicating a great propensity for courage.

Mars rules energy, passion, the drive to start things alone, and an inherent confidence, the kind that makes you feel that not only do you do what needs to be done, but there’s no one better to do it. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is considered the eldest child of the horoscope.

The ruling god of Aries is Mars in Roman mythology. His Greek counterpart is Ares. According to Greek Mythology, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera and is the god of war. As such, he represents the physical and more violent aspects of battles.

Ares possesses the untamed nature of the Aries, including his impulsive, passionate, explosive temper and tendency to be violent and sexual. In addition, he governs the typical bravery of Aryans.

In one of his inconsequential moments, Ares was the lover of the goddess Aphrodite and was discovered by the goddess’s husband, Hephaestus, who captured them with an almost invisible net during the sexual act, just to have the pleasure of humiliating them before the other gods.

The deity of the sign of Taurus is Venus, in Roman mythology, or Aphrodite, according to Greek Mythology. Taurus is ruled by the Earth element and, as we will show, her personality is strongly influenced by this powerful goddess and her ruling star.

The ruling star of Taurus is Venus, the planet associated with love and relationships. In opposition to Mars, Venus rules inward-looking actions. This planet is associated with aesthetics, beauty, refinement and romance.

The influence of Venus makes Taureans prone to oscillations of love and beauty, and can be extremely vain. Furthermore, Venus encourages natives of this sign to pay attention to everything that pleases their senses. Characteristics such as loyalty and care for those you love are brought about by this planet.

The ruling goddess of Taurus is Venus or Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty in Roman and Greek mythology, respectively. According to Greek myths, Aphrodite was born from contact with the genitals of Uranus who were thrown into the sea by his son Cronos.

As the goddess of love, Aphrodite gives Taureans the gifts of beauty, love and pleasure. Therefore, those born under the influence of this sign are blessed with the power of attraction through their appearance, in addition to enjoying investing in the great pleasures of life.

The god of the Gemini sign is Mercury or Hermes. Ruled by the Air element, Geminis have a constant interest in communication and, because they have two faces, are often considered the gossips of the zodiac. As we will show below, these characteristics come from your planetary and divine ruler. Check out.

The ruling star of Gemini is Mercury, the planet that governs the mind, intellect and communication. Mercury is a planet that is also ruled by the air element and because it is associated with the flow and exchange of information, it is closely linked to communication and intelligence.

For this reason, Geminis are naturally curious and like to express themselves. In addition, Geminis are also driven by the search for information, as Mercury encourages this sign to learn, think and share what it has learned.

The ruling god of Gemini is Mercury or Hermes, god of communication in Roman and Greek mythology, respectively. Hermes is the son of Zeus and acts as a messenger of the Olympian gods. Consequently, his influence on the Gemini sign makes him curious by nature and has a constant need to change.

Also, as a social god, Hermes gives Gemini a desire to be with friends so that he can share his experiences with them. Being ruled by one of the smartest gods in Greek mythology, Geminis are curious and intellectual by nature.

Cancer is ruled by Luna, the Roman goddess who personifies the Moon and who is associated with Selene in Greek myths. This sign is governed by the Water element, the domain of emotions and the subconscious, which is strongly influenced by Luna and its ruling star, as we will show below.

The ruling star of Cancer is the Moon. This powerful star represents the reflection of the true identity shown by the Sun and is therefore associated with the unconscious side. In addition, it governs the security and habit that give Cancer the ability to care for and relate to others, defining how governed by this sign they feel.

The Moon is also the star that governs the tides and has different phases throughout the month. Consequently, Cancers are sensitive, phased and often emotionally unstable as their feelings change like the tides.

Cancer’s ruling goddess is Luna, who corresponds to Selene in Greek mythology. In Roman mythology, Luna is the personification of the Moon who is often represented as a triple goddess along with Proserpine and Hecate.

As it is associated with the Moon, Luna brings sensitivity and emotion to the Cancer sign. Their maternal archetype makes Cancerians become attached to themes such as family and always seek security and comfort.

The god of the sign of Leo is Phoebus or Apollo. Leo is ruled by the fire element of a fixed nature. For this reason, Leos behave like the flames themselves, being imposing. In addition, your planetary and divine ruler has a strong influence on your personality, as shown below.

Leo’s ruling star is the Sun, the representative of the true self. By representing the ego on different levels, the Sun is associated with the exuberance, kindness and seemingly inexhaustible source of energy that is typical of the sign of Leo.

Plus, the biggest star in the universe makes Leos feel like they’re the center of attention, so Leos can be considered smug, cocky, or even proud. For this very reason, Leo is the most self-involved sign, with an enormous sense of vitality and personal power.

Leo’s ruling god is Phoebus or Apollo in Roman and Greek mythology, respectively. Apollo is the god of the sun, knowledge, light, music and poetry. Therefore, Leo is the animator of the zodiac, due to his tender, kind and charismatic character.

Apollo is also associated with prophecy and healing, being the patron saint of seafarers and foreigners, as well as protecting refugees and fugitives. Because it is associated with the health and education of children, Leos can do well in these areas.

Furthermore, mercury in the house of Virgo brings with it an organized, precise and mainly reality-centered nature, with little room for imagination.

Virgo’s ruling goddess is Ceres in Roman mythology and her Greek counterpart is Demeter. According to myths, Demeter is the earth goddess, ruling over grain, fertility and harvest.
