The Chart Ruler, sometimes called the Ruler of the Ascendant or the Ruler of the Horoscope, is a planet that takes on the extra duty of extending the meaning of the Ascendant itself. It gives us more information about how and where the topics of the Ascendant are played out, such as how the person approaches new beginnings, the lens through which the person view the world, first impressions, etc. When we interpret the Chart Ruler, we can’t forget the planet’s usual functions, but we specifically need to consider its additional role as a type of ambassador for the Ascendant. We need to interpret the Chart Ruler’s sign and house placement, and we’ll even consider the aspects made to other planets – feeding this information back to the meaning of the Ascendant. Join Toby for a look at this very significant planet in any chart.
