How do you tell what your strongest planet/sign is? I am cap in sun, moon in leo, aqua in venus, asc in gemini. I know I have certain cap qualities but they seem to be out shined by I don't know what. A lot of the time I feel very aqua like and can identify several highly charged qualities that I have that are definitely associated with aquarians, the same goes for some of my other signs. I am not always sure which sign is coming through strongest, but I know it isn't my sun even though I am 15 degrees in cap. How do you figure out if a sign has an overriding force in your chart?IP: Logged |

On Astrodienst select your chart, go to Extended Chart Collection, then select Pullen/Asrolog charts and go for the last option. It will give you a lot of information, if you scroll down it will give you a percentage by sign and by planet. If you had asked me I would I associate most with Mars and sign maybe more Scorpio (Rising sign) and Aquarius (Mars sign, heavily aspected) than Gemini, my sun sign. But my highest percentages go to Libra and Venus. There is a grid on the Pullen list that shows that Venus deposits the most planets, and is on the Descendant on my chart. My Moon is Libra and I have 4 planets in the 7th. So there you go, maybe I am more peace-loving and charming than I give myself credit for ~ or is that indecisive and idle. *thank you to Acoustic God for passing on the knowledge about these charts in a previous thread* IP: Logged |

Blue moon- I checked those charts out, it really baffled me ! My strongest planets and most dominant signs are quite different from each other, and also different than my sun/asc sign so I'm totally confused.. Which do you think more important ? Can we say the Strongest Planet has the biggest effect ? Or is it the sign that that is ranked first ? IP: Logged |

I'm a Sag, Leo Moon, Scorpio Asc.Using Placidus, Pullen lists my strongest signs as: 1. Virgo 2. Scorpio 3. Cap Using Equal: 1. Scorpio 2. Virgo 3. Aqua In both of them, my Sun sign is ranked 4th and my Moon sign is ranked 7th. When I first saw these, I wasn't surprised that my own sun wasn't ranked first. I identify with Sag more than any other sign, but I don't feel strongly Sag. I've never read a description of Sag without feeling that major parts of the description didn't apply to me. I can definitely feel the influence of other signs, particularly Scorpio. In fact, I was reading "Sextrology" and the Sco descriptions were the most accurate, by far. I could hardly relate to their Sag descriptions. When I check out people's astro info, I always check out their Pullen rankings too. Although no matter where it's ranked I still consider their sun sign strongest, the ranking helps explain if they're a strong Aries, etc. or if they're more an Aries/Pisces hybrid. Often Pullen ranks a sign highly that isn't one of the person's big three, so Pullen can help point out a major influence that's not as easily seen. With both house systems, my most aspected planet is Neptune but my highest ranked planet overall is Uranus. Very accurate. IP: Logged |

Swirly, mine worked out quite neatly. Though I still doubt if you met me in a bar in town my aura would scream out Libra/Venus. Jane's approach seems good ~ use it as an added tool but don't take it as written in stone. What I get out of the exercise is the message that maybe I should spend a little more time working with my strengths instead of ignoring them whilst I work on ironing out my weaknesses.

Thanks a lot for the information. What does the plus zones in the Pullen charts indicate? and does it matter what % planets are in the plus zones?IP: Logged |

Strongest signs: 1. Sagittarius (18%) 2. Aqua (17%) 3. Pisces (11%)Strongest planets: 1. Mercury (14%) 2. Jupiter (12%) 3. Venus (11%) Sag is on the DSC. I have Mars, Saturn & Uranus in Sag. My Sun and Mercury (chart ruler) are in Aquarius but they are in the 9th house (ruled by Sagittarius). My Jupiter is in the 11th (Aquarius). IP: Logged |

My strongest sign and planet are different from my sun sign. I can understand why Sag is the 1st, but Libra has only Pluto and uranus in it and it is 2nd. Scorpio which has the sun is 6th!!!!.Strongest signs. Sag -30.5% Libra-12% Pisces-10.7% Strongest planets. Jupiter-15.6% Neptune -14% Pluto-10.2% IP: Logged |

thanks Blue Moon, this was very informative. My strongest sign is still Cap which I find surprising, but I guess I shouldn't with it being my sun sign. And I was also surprised that libra is shown as my 5th strongest sign. I don't know where that is coming from because I can't see any Libra in my chart at all. Perhaps I'm not looking close enough I find it interesting that my second strongest is Scorpio. I've never thought about it's presence being very strong besides in my sexual/aggressive/ energy manner. I will definitely by tuned into it now though.Mercury 12.2 Jupiter 11.2 Tie between Sun and Venus at 10.7 Capricorn 15.9 Scorpio 13.4 Sag 11.8 Aquarius 11.3 IP: Logged |

I did the Astro.com/Pullen/Astrolog chart thing blue moon suggested and was shocked to find out that my most aspected planet is Venus. Followed closely by Saturn, (I thought it would be Saturn) Mars and Uranus. Who knew? ------------------ "You stay young as long as you can learn, acquire new habits and suffer contradiction."

so just to get this straight then the planets and signs that are the strongest will most likely be the strongest in your personality? I'm still trying to figure out how the whole astrology thing works. I know the basics and am now trying to self teach myself more about it, like how it plays in our personality and our relationships with others and etc. IP: Logged |

Hi Pjeff (fellow Capricorn with Gemini Rising). quote: I don't know where that is coming from because I can't see any Libra in my chart at all. Perhaps I'm not looking close enough
Libras actually my strongest sign, and I was kind of baffled by that at first, too. I do have two planets in Libra, so that explains some of it. But I also have two planets in Capricorn, so what gives? Well, the signs also rule houses, and I've got three planets in the Libra-ruled 7th house. These are also probably my most aspected and dynamic planets in my chart to some degree. So Libra wins the strongest sign contest. Here's how the house rulerships work: Aries rules the 1st house Taurus rules the 2nd house Gemini rules the 3rd house etc. etc. (in order) Sag is my second strongest thanks to those three 7th house planets being in Sag. Scorpio is my third strongest despite my only having one planet there. The reason for this could include the fact that it is a singleton in two respects: it's my only planet in a water sign, and my only planet in a fixed sign. I also have my Sun and Jupiter in the Scorpio-ruled 8th house. Hopefully that gives you some sense of where these rankings are pulled from. IP: Logged |

How is it worked out?I'm a Leo Sun, with Libra Moon and Sagi rising, yet.. my strongest sign came out as Scorpio, but I only have Neptune in there. And my strongest planet came out as Pluto - which, I grant is strongly aspected in my chart. IP: Logged |

Acoustic God, should have read your post before posting mine. My stellium in the eighth house would answer my question as to how I got picked as a Scorpio.IP: Logged |

IMO this Pullen calculation is a bit problematic, because if you start adding asteroids, it can change the percentages and rankings dramatically. I think you should either leave out all asteroids OR include all of them (impossible)... And the end result is still only quantitative (except for the descriptions).So, because of that I don't really think it is a reliable way to say what your strongest planet is. I'll stick to the old chart ruler (ruler of ascendant and its sign) :-) IP: Logged |

To be very honest, I'm not really into using degrees (it's just something I really never got interested in and most books I have don't really focus on them), so I pay attention more to signs and elements.Personally, while I feel very Libra (Sun and Mercury are in Libra), I also have a heavy water influence (Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto) in my chart so I basically feel like a more emotional, more sensitive version of Libra; while I can be detached at times, my water influence doesn't usually let me stay that way for long. I feel a sort of 'pull' between air and water. I don't really feel that my Earth planets play a big role in my chart because I'm not really practical and I'm pretty much the opposite of the Earth-sign description. I can have a fiery temper due to my Sag ascendant, but I am lacking a lot of the other things that Fire Signs are known for. I'm definitely a Water-Air sort of lady. I'd say that your most imporant planet is definitely the Sun. After the Sun, I'd say Mercury (mental processes) and the Moon (emotional processes) are the next most important (not sure which I consider more important, though). I'd also say Venus is important for love and Mars is important for energy/how you go about doing things. Still, no matter what, I don't think anyone can ever really escape their Sun influence even if it is diluted a bit: I think the other planets just modify how the Sun expresses itself or manifests, but the basic Sun character is always there somewhere.
