Why Do Some Signs Have Two Planetary Rulers?

from Astrology for Beginners Hosted by Stefanie Kate Boucher

If you’ve been listening to recent episodes of the show, you’ve probably heard me refer to Mars and Pluto as co-rulers of Scorpio. And if you’re fairly new to astrology, this may have left you wondering … Why is Scorpio ruled by both Mars and Pluto? Don’t most signs have just one ruler? In this episode, we’re exploring the history behind traditional and modern planetary rulerships, how the discovery of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto changed astrology, and why astrologers have different approaches to planetary rulership. We’ll also look at the role of the outer planets in our natal charts versus the collective experience, and how you can work with both traditional and modern rulers when interpreting your own chart.
