The planet which rules the Ascendant is called the planetary ruler
and is critical to its expression. Since the Ascendant advises how
to best organize a graceful, centered, and poised social personality,that
is, an adaptive social mask that enables us to present ourselves in
a way that is successful and comfortable, the Ruler of the Ascendant
takes that process a step further. By sign and house, it plays a pivotal
role in helping us establish an individual sense of identity and personal
distinction by showing us qualities we must learn to manifest skillfully
in order to feel comfortable and centered. A strongly positive response
to the energy of the planetary ruler generates in us a positive feeling
about ourselves and a successful adaptation to everyday life. By sign
and house placement, the planetary ruler reflects issues we must sort
through and master that directly affect our style, presentation, and
self-confidence in the social world.
