When a planet lies in the sign that it rules in your birth chart, then it is considered a dominant planet. A person can have more than one dominant planet if multiple planets are located in the signs they rule over in your birth chart.
Dominant planets have a significant influence over you, and understanding your dominant planets helps you to understand your true path in life, develop your personality, find your hidden talents, and, above all, express your true nature each day. Knowing more about your dominant planet is one of the keys to success and a better life.
