Some of you in getting an astrology reading may have been told something about a “house ruler”, or perhaps have noticed it elsewhere. Every house is ruled by one of your natal planets, and which planet it is depends on the sign on the house cusp. Each zodiac sign is ruled by a certain planet. Here’s a list of signs and their rulers:
Aries- mars
Taurus, Libra- venus
Gemini, Virgo- mercury
Cancer- moon
Leo- sun
Scorpio- pluto
Sagittarius- jupiter
Capricorn- saturn
Aquarius- uranus
Pisces- neptune
Look at your chart and see what sign is on your 1st house cusp. If you’re an aquarius rising, then uranus is your 1st house ruler; libra rising, venus rules; aries rising, mars rules, etc. You can do this for each house cusp to see which planet is the house ruler. Some houses will have 2 rulers though (unless you use equal house system). This occurs when a sign is completely contained in a house. Example: say your 5th house cusp is at 28 degrees 15 minutes in leo and your 6th house cusp is at 2 degrees 7 minutes in libra. You went straight from leo to libra, skipping over virgo. This means that virgo is completely in the 5th house, and so the 5th house has a ruler of the sun (rules leo) and a co-ruler of mercury (rules virgo). House rulers are very important in prediction, and are directly affected by aspects made by transit planets to your natal planets because your natal planets are your house rulers, meaning that whenever a transit planet aspects your natal planet, it also aspects the house(s) that the natal planet rules. (So let’s say the transit sun is sextiling your natal venus, and your natal venus rules your 7th and 11th houses. Not only do you have the aspect of sun sextile venus, but you also have the aspect of whatever house(s) venus rules, in this case sun sextile your 7th (relationships) and 11th(friendships, groups, wishes) houses.)
