The planet ruling the sign of the ascendant is commonly understood as the chart ruler. This planet (and its condition) tells us about a person’s life, interests, outlook, personality + even their appearance.

What is it like to live with an exalted chart ruler versus a fallen chart ruler? And does a domiciled chart ruler truly have it easier than a chart ruler in detriment? Nine astrologers gather to share what it feels like to move through life with their chart ruler in each of the four major classifications of essential dignity.

Our essential dignity panel features Cameron Allen, Gary Caton, Aerin Fogel, Jessica Irene, SP Hall, Kirah Tabourn, Beth Watson and Patrick Watson – and hosted by myself, Catherine Urban.

This 120-minute panel discussion was originally recorded in my monthly meetup group, Cauldron, in October 2023. Special thanks to all the brilliant minds who joined forces on this day!
