A theory just popped in my brain but I don't know if it makes sense. I think brain dominance could also be attributed to mercury, its sign/house, the polar opposite sign/house and aspects to its ruling planet. Mercury is the ruler of our brain functions (if I'm not mistaken.. Or was it uranus? ) so maybe that in itself could tell us something about which side is dominant?

Let's take a 6h mercury for example. This mercury is in a creative sign (fire/water), the house cusp is also ruled by a creative sign. Although the 6h in itself is a n earth/logical house, it is predominated by creative functions. So most likely, mercury in here would lean more on the creative side rather than the logical (R brain dominant).

Basing on this theory, if mercury has aspects to the planetary ruler of the opposite house then probably this indicates that this individual would probably have the innate ability to utilize both L&R brain functions. With soft aspects it would probably be easier. Hard aspects would need effort to work out tense energies, but the ability is in there somewhere, nonetheless.

But what if the sign your Mercury's in is different from the house cusp?

Like my 6th is ruled by Libra, Mercury is in the 6th but in Scorpio.

So my 12th house is ruled by Aries but co-ruled by Venus.

Which one to look at?

Not like it matters in my case though, because Mercury doesn't aspect any of them, so..

But one last try. I'll take Doux's merc as an example.

So you have a 6h merc in Scorp, 6h cusp in Libra.

Scorp merc= water sign/creative/R brain
Libra 6h= air/L brain
6h= logical house

So this would tell me that you're predominantly L brained..? Logical>Dreamy?

Lunae,

That's quite right!
But my right and left brains are quite balanced, really.

Well, I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough

But yeah, I'm right brain dominant but the difference between the two isn't really far off, like 55/45. That being said, I consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none (well, with the exception of numbers. I guess that's what makes my right brain slightly dominant )

My eleventh house ruler is the sun it's in either eleven or twelve, depending on the house system.

That's two very different hemispheres of brain. I have a dark side and a light looks like!

My moon rules left. It works well in eight because this house has a connection to research and science.

Eleven also has a connection to science, not the same kind. Eight seems more biological, eleven - physics/mechanics/technology.

Seems like both hemispheres are kinda into science.

Even twelve is said to be related to quantum physics and types of research.

Maybe eight, eleven and twelve are science houses while ten is the house of architects and engineers?

From what I've read, it seems that Saturn symbolizes the left brain and Uranus the right brain. But I've also noticed that whatever rules your 10th house rules your left brain and whatever rules your 11th rules your right brain, in your natal chart.

With that said, I wonder what planetary aspects would show more left brain dominance versus right brain dominance. Also, if a person is, say, more right-brain dominant (natally) on a "left brain leaning day" (given whatever planetary and luminary transits there are), if that's why they may not feel themselves that day, or like they're not getting all that they wanted to accomplished.

Thoughts and feedback appreciated, thanks!

Then my right and left brain are ruled by the same planet.

I don't know about this theory; and, Uranus is associated with science, electricity, and other mechanical-type, logical things. So associating it with the half of the brain associated with artistic inclinations seems kinda off-base to me.

You'd think right brain would be Venus or Neptune, and left brain would be uranus, or maybe Saturn. Probably more Saturnine because Uranus is more adventurous and non-conventional and left-brain stuff sounds pretty super-dry and logical in typical Saturnine style.

Venus at its core is value. Through value we find ideals and preference, and with value we seek to colour the world around us. We attach the meaning of romance to Venus because romance is our ideals and preferences being met in a person, though love itself is much deeper than just Venus, as Venus is also superficial and airy.

Without Venus, our world would be entirely devoid of sentiment and enjoyment. Everything would just objectively exist without any personalised, subjective meaning. Without Mercury, everything would bleed into each other. We'd go about the world without any thought, with pleasure and enjoyment being our only compasses.

Words are just a formula of symbols to which we attach information (sounds a lot like mathematics, no?), and by talking, we're exchanging data.

The brain in it's entirety is ourselves, our self. The Sun represents the self. Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun in a natal chart, and thus their meanings are connected to the Sun. Mercury and Venus are the two halves of the brain which come together to make a greater whole.
