Secrets that the Ruling Planets Have to Reveal About you!
Every individual is like a rainbow, they come with their unique set of colours. Generally speaking, it’s easier to know the most prominent traits in an individual depending on their zodiac signs. Interestingly though, astrology says, you are not just the carrier of the zodiac traits but your personality is equally influenced by the planet that rules your zodiac.
Each zodiac sign has one or two ruling planets, which adds a different dimension to it. Your personality thus, is a good blend of traits, some from your zodiac and some influenced by your ruling planet.

This nature comes from Mars which makes you aggressive and animalistic who believes in ‘survival of the fittest’. If you can channelize your aggression rightly, you can be extremely productive. Mars makes you adventurous and you may be seen biting too much than you can chew, leaving tasks incomplete quite often.
