I'm unhappy with virgo and taurus sharing signs with gemini and libra. I think it's like the other ones who had to share for awhile, eventually each has it's own ruler.I'm sooooo ready to know what they are. I feel like I'm missing important info!!

But I see how Venus and Mercury rule two signs each. With Venus, the social signals are strong as a ruler of Libra in terms of relationships, social justice and services, hosting skills, popularity.

Then Mercury as the ruler of Virgo with it's nervous stomach and digestive issues, it's attention to detail and discrimation. I love the revolution of the mid to late 60's having occurred in Virgo especially in terms of the art being so detailed, psychedelic designs and paisleys are very Mercurial. The song-"writer" gained major status, think of John Lennon's "jabberwocky-esque" lyricism influencing many others, Bob Dylan, etc.

But I'm so off track now.

I see that the rulerships make sense, but I also feel your pain, I must admit.

It took me forever to discover why Saturn used to be a ruler of Aquarius then one day I heard a shaman speak at an event and he said that it is "breath" that keeps us anchored here on earth. It's the first thing we do alone and it's the last thing we do alone.

WOW!! I never thought of air as an anchor. Saturn-yes, air-no. But it made sense. Horary astrologers still use it.

I've never felt that Mercury was completely accurate. Maybe a co-ruler. It just makes more sense with Gemini to me.
I think Chiron is a good candidate, but what about Ceres maybe?

I do think Mercury is fine with both signs.

As far as Virgo, I see them being more Saturnian than Mercurial. I can see loosely how they could be ruled by Chiron because of the wounded healer thing and how Virgos are very critical for a reason.

Aquarius? I really don't understand how Saturn was applied to them though. But again, Libra is definitely Venusian to me.

I couldn't tell you why Chiron rules Virgo but all I know is that when I read someone's chart and Chiron is affected by a Solar Arc or transit, all of the issues of the house that's on Virgo get seriously triggered. For example, if someone has a Virgo as the 9th House and Jupiter Solar Arcs their Chiron (where ever it is) that person will do something like travel internationally to promote their number one best selling novel about a professor of library studies who goes on a great adventure to meet God or something like that. Everything 9th House will surge out of the closet of their life.

That's how I found out that Chiron rules Virgo, mostly when Chiron is hit somehow and whatever house cusp is on Virgo gets triggered like mad.

Not Chiron, the true ruler of Virgo according to LG is Vulcan.

Venus doesn't suit Libra a bit I have to disagree, I dont even see it with Taurus

But I am being biased here, I am begining to literally hate Taurus due to some personal issues that I am having with one of them.

one, from Sun to Saturn, and the other trans-Saturnian.

after all, Saturn still seems to impact Aquarius, Mars to Scorpio, Jupiter to Pisces
