The birth chart and the dominant planets allow us to quickly analyze what characterizes an individual and their main character traits within astrology. Each of us is governed by a planet, which provides valuable information about personality and how to anticipate events.
The dominant planet at the top of the planetary forces marks the general orientation of your personality, the most habitual and tenacious motivations of your personality. represents in some way your perception filter, a unique and natural filter.
It is common for two planets to be equally dominant within the same birth chart., and in this case their respective influences will play in concert. If they are aspects connected by an interplanetary thread, their influences will be articulated according to the logic and quality of the aspect in question.
When we talk about a dominant planet, It is not about the planet that rules your sign, but the star that has the greatest weight and power in your natal chart due to its location.
To know how to determine it, it is better to know the keys of an astral chart, and the most important is the location of these planets when they fall on the cardinal points of your natal chart: Ascendant, Imum Coeli or Bottom of the Sky, Descendant and Midheaveneither.
