Your approach to life

Your approach to life is to jump in. You meet new situations head-on and learn by doing, which helps you build experience fast. You may need to watch a tendency to rush, because the first impression you give is one of speed, and not everyone keeps up.

Your chart ruler

Mars rules Aries, so Mars becomes your chart ruler. The sign and house of Mars in your chart shows where your drive is strongest and how you go after what you want. If you know your birth chart, Mars is the first planet to look at.

Your Rising sign is also known as the Ascendant, the point of the zodiac on the eastern horizon at your birth.
