In astrology, the concept of rulership connects each zodiac sign to a governing planet, emphasizing specific energies and traits. The seven classical planets, visible to the naked eye, rule over the 12 zodiac signs. The Sun rules Leo, and the Moon rules Cancer, highlighting individuality and emotions, respectively. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo (communication and intellect), Venus rules Taurus and Libra (love and harmony), Mars rules Aries and Scorpio (action and drive), Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces (expansion and wisdom), and Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius (structure and discipline). This system deepens astrological interpretations, connecting planetary energies to personality traits.
