Horoscope: how are you supposed to determine the dominant planets of one's chart?

I like to do so based on the planets that have the most conjunctions to the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mars and Venus. And the 2 (or in some cases, 1) ruling planets of the sign(s) that take up most of the planets.

Think that is a good way?

Like my friend is dominated by Mercury Mars and Venus.

the sun's said to be the inner core.

- planets in dignity

- unaspected planets.

- stelliums

- singletons are influential too.

- the most aspected planet

- the final depositor of the chart(if you have one). you can't have more than one.

important planets :

- the moon

- the ascendant

- the ascendant ruler.

- planets in mutual reception to a certain extent. eg : libra mars & aries venus.

The dominant planet in a chart can be determined through several ways



- A planet that is in conjunction to the 4 cardinal angles ( Asc, Dc, Ic and Mc )



- A planet that is in its dignity ( Sun in Leo, Moon in Cancer , etc ), or an exalted planet can also be considered dominant



- A planet that recieves the most aspects from other planets. The more aspects, the more complicated and sophisticated the energy of that planet.



- When several planets ( preferably at least 4 ) fall into a certain sign, particularly when they form multiple conjunctions , for example Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars fall in Scorpio, the planet that rules Scorpio, that is Pluto, will exert its influence over those planets and becomes very dominant.



- A planet that rules the rising sign, Libra rising, so Venus is the ruler of the chart ( but this depends on the conditions of Venus ). Nevertheless, the ruler of the rising sign is like a god that resides over one's birth, and is there throughout their entire journey in life.



An unaspected planet is primitive , it is not " socialised " and " civilised " and stay in its original shape and form, it is simple and not " sophisticated " , and its energy is not harnessed by any other planet. Imagine an unaspected planet as , say , a person that is living in the basement of a family yet nobody know he exists, and nobody has come in contact with him. In the same way, unaspected planet is often unconscious , it tends to manifest itself in a more compulsive kinda way without the individual knowing. The unaspected planet, therefore, is capable of producing its purest energy ( be that good or bad ) when a heavy transit planet hits it ( Uranus will zap it to sudden awakening, Neptune would leak it and spread its energy to the entire house - kinda like corrosive acid , Pluto might even send it sit and seethe for a while and let it erupt all at once ). So in this case , yes, when the unaspected planet has finally awaken, its power would be high and often unfamiliar, and for a while, this unaspected planet might take over the entire chart.

There are books available with charts which will help determine each of the planetary influences. As you have discovered, there are other things aside from a person's sun sign and moon sign which can have significant influence. You need to know not only a person's date of birth, but also the time and place of their birth. You can start out with this by visiting a local book store.

There's no need to determine. They don't mean a thing. Don't waste your time and don't help propound myths.
