Discovering Your Dominant Planets in Your Chart

Moon Reading

People with this planet strong in their charts are extremely receptive to the energies around them. They soak it up like a sponge, no matter if it is positive or negative. For Neptune dominant people, it is a must to surround themselves with people who radiate love and understanding. When you are young and haven’t learned to protect yourself yet, you often struggle if you live in a negative environment. For the Moon to influence what you look like, i has to be placed close or in aspect to the ascendant or in the first house. Planets in this house conjunct the ascendant have the strongest influence over your physical appearance, most astrologers allow an orb of 8-10 degrees here.

They are very sensitive and their environment easily overwhelms them. With the Moon strong in your natal chart, you might have social anxiety. With the Moon strong in your birth chart, relationships are very important to you. On the other hand, malefic planets such as Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu are believed to have challenging influences that can lead to obstacles, hardships, and disruptions.

Art is typically connected with Libra, but the practical and materialistic approach of Taurus is of great help here, too. A prominent Venus in the birth chart is a frequent placement in the charts of artists. If you happen to be a Taurus or Libra rising, Venus is your chart ruler (which means that is of great importance in your birth chart-it represents YOU). Astrotheme computes and delineates 11 different dominants – as well as the classical interpretation of the chart – positions, aspects, rulerships, etc. If you have Neptune as your dominant planet you tend to take on many of the qualities of Pisces. This would make you dreamy, intuitive, and even psychic at times.

Have you ever wondered which planets have the most influence on your astrological chart? By understanding which planets are dominant in your chart, you can gain valuable insights into your personality, strengths, and challenges. Here are some tips on how to identify your dominant planets:

Here is a list of some indicators that you might have the Sun as your dominant planet in your natal chart. If a planet is conjunct the angles in the birth chart, especially if it is conjunct the ascendant or the Midheaven, it becomes very influential. These are things you can notice about Sun dominant people in astrology, too. They have incredibly high energy levels, and they radiate with warmth and optimism. That’s why the signs are also an integral part of understanding your birth chart.

Look at Your Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs

With challenging aspects, you simply feel detached from the world and instead of making an effort to fit in, you choose to retreat. This can be observed in many people who have Neptune dominant charts. Many Neptune dominant people choose to be vegetarians or vegans. They love spending time in nature and they are often concerned about pollution. There is a sense of unity with the whole world, you feel that when you hurt others, you hurt yourself.

Because of this, the energy of your dominant planet infuses the whole natal chart. However, if people with a Moon dominant planet in the natal chart lack assertiveness, they expect others to understand them, too, without them saying anything. This expectation of others reading your mind can cause you a lot of trouble in your interpersonal relationships. Learning to communicate in an assertive and direct way can be helpful here. The Moon can be wonderful if you learn how to use it properly.

Your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs play a significant role in determining which planets are dominant in your chart. The planet that rules your Sun sign is usually a dominant planet for you. For example, if you are a Leo with the Sun in Leo, then the Sun would be a dominant planet in your chart.

Recognizing your dominant planet can highlight strengths and areas for growth, enabling focused personal development. If several planets appear in the same sign, this sign has a powerful influence. If a planet has a lot of significant aspects in relation to other planets, it can have a dominating influence on the Birth Chart. As the earth spins, the sun and other planets are in each of these houses for approximately two hours (as there are 24 hours in a day) as do other planets.

Check the Positions of the Planets

Another way to determine your dominant planets is to look at the positions of the planets in your birth chart. Pay attention to any planets that are in close proximity to the angles (Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, IC) or any planets that form strong aspects with your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant.
