Are one of them your ruling planet?

How are you currently determining "ruling planet"? Ascendant-sign ruler by itself is popular.

I start there, but then I "pinball" around the chart unless the Ascendant-sign ruler is in its domicile-sign.

It usually ends up with 2 or more planets ruling the chart in tandem. That's when aspects and transits come into play. Transits can temporarily bring a member of the chart-ruling team into greater or lesser prominence.

Aqua Moon with Mermaid* rising, means the ruler of whatever sign Uran is in, becomes a chart-ruling planet in combination with the Moon. If Uran happens to.be in Aquarius, its domicile-sign, then it's just those 2, the Moon and Uran.

Two planets in mutual reception can end up as the chart-ruling team, without even including the ruler of the Ascendant-sign as a chart-ruling planet. For example, Scorpio Ascendant ruled by Pluto in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn in Pisces, ruled by Neptune in Capricorn--then I would say the 2 chart-ruling planets are Saturn/Neptune in mutual reception, although with strong influence by the Ascendant sign-ruler Pluto, which brought the mutual reception loop into prominence.

In my own chart, the choice of chart-ruler jumps around from one planet to another, BUT, keeps looping back to the planet that rules the Ascendant-sign, Pisces. So, I go with Neptune as leader of the chart-ruling team, which also includes Venus, Uran, and Mercury.
Fortunately, they all get along well together in the natal configuration. :giggle:

There is a place in Vancouver that sells pinball machines and jukeboxes. Old and revamped for cd’s and probably computerized now.

You could play for free.

It has moved but it is still there.

I put my data in at astroseek.com

For me Pluto rules Ascendant, and is personalized conjunct MC. And Jupiter is domicile and strong as well. I accept both as rulers. Saturn isn’t as strong but it too is domicile.

T-square in progress. Sun opposite rPluto, in tropical :cancer:/:capricorn:, and Moon soon in the same degree :aries:.

Of course, for those not using Pluto, it's a Moon/Sun square. :smile:

Yes, my Cancer ascendant, or you call the Mermaid ( instead of Moon child, the Moon is the sign ruler). And my natal Uranus is in Scorpio in the 5th.

Trouble sleeping, checked the transits, maybe it's the Moon in tropical Gemini now applying* for an exact square with rNeptune in Pisces @25°14'.
*gotta love that old language. :joyful:

CAP, how has Pluto in 7th been for you? When it conjunct your DC, did anything in particular happen with a Plutonian person etc?
Yep, a brief romantic affair turned into a friendship with a Scorpio sun/Aquarius moon woman (Pluto rules Scorpio) and I'm concerned Pluto enters my 8th or Aquarius where my natal sun placement is in 2024.

Interesting. I would have expected something more intense than a brief romantic affair that turned platonic.

Did it have a lasting affect on you, was the lady in question of a dark, shadowy nature (more than just being a Scorpio Sun)?

The reason I am asking is because when Venus retrograde and Pluto conjunct back in December, it also conjunct my neighbour’s DC, and he started dating his ex girlfriend. They are still dating and I thought it is probably quite an intense connection that would leave a lasting mark, since Pluto conjunct the DC is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. I thought it would cause an ‘obsessive’ connection.

Will Pluto conjunct your Sun? I’m sure it is nothing to worry about. Pluto will just went to cause complete transformation of your soul and shake your life from the ground up a few times before he leaves, that’s all. I heard he tidies up after himself though. 👽
