What Astrology Do You Practice? — A Conversation on Method and Chart Ruler | Astrology Ride of the Day
Description
A conversation about astrological method and how a person's own chart shapes their approach to the craft. One astrologer describes blending traditional astrology with fixed stars and the occasional asteroid, favoring Placidus with intercepted houses over whole sign, and leaning heavily on progressions over solar returns or solar arcs. Her chart adds a real layer to the discussion — Sagittarius rising sits almost exactly between her Saturn and Uranus, both near the Ascendant, which sparks the question of whether an Aquarius Sun leans more Saturn-ruled or Uranus-ruled depending on their placements. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- Different astrologers genuinely vary in method — blending traditional techniques with fixed stars and asteroids, using Placidus with intercepted houses rather than whole sign, and favoring progressions over solar returns or solar arcs.
- A chart ruler question got interesting fast: an Aquarius Sun can lean more toward Saturn's traditional rulership or Uranus's modern rulership depending on which planet is more strongly placed in the individual chart.
- A real chart example: Sagittarius rising at 13°, with Saturn at 9° and Uranus at 16° — the Ascendant sitting almost exactly between the two rulers of Aquarius, making the Saturn-versus-Uranus question genuinely close.
