In short: Your dominant planet is the one with the highest astrodyne power-score. It’s the first planet listed on your chart’s planet power summary and it can be the ascendant or Midheaven which act as planets. Its dominance makes it the most influential marker in your chart.
Your birth chart is a character reference and the data provided by the planets pertains to the strength and functional status of the ten dynamic urges aka thoughts, feelings and impulses that comprise your character.
Many experiences of various kinds have contributed to your character development and there have been more of the kind indicated by your dominant planet than any other. It has played the lead role in the building and structuring of your consciousness by evolutionary experience.
Your dominant planet wields enormous power. It’s your big driver – the conductor of your life story and center of gravity. It maps the most active thought-cell group in your not-conscious soul-mind – an incessant core desire that has the highest concentration of thought and feeling energy so it regularly transmits vivid thought messages that influence your thinking and behavior.
As your dominant inner-world force it exerts a commanding influence on your life story. It has a dominant influence on your temperament and disposition. It maps a state of consciousness that colors your distinct way of perceiving yourself and the world and its conspicuous character traits are a permanent feature of your daily life behavior.
Your dominant planet maps a dominant interest or activity that exerts authority over what you think and do; and an outstanding aptitude that can, with training, be turned into a special ability that can accomplish great things. It commands more of your attention so you’re inclined to neglect or sacrifice the development of other interests and abilities in favor of its fulfillment.
Your consciousness can be likened to a pool of thoughts and your dominant thought-cell group contributes more thoughts to the pool than any other. More thoughts and feelings of its type flow through your soul and they’re having a pronounced influence on your conscious thinking and behavior.
You experience these thoughts and feelings more often and more vividly than any other. Their conscious reception is loud and amplified. They’re a soul-deep thinking habit which possesses psychokinetic power: a habit that ensures the compounding of your intelligence and ability through its psychokinetic capacity to attract a cycle of minor and major events that stimulate more of its type of thinking. Its thoughts define your soul’s chief mental nourishment.
You go where your dominant thoughts, feelings and impulses take you and if they have a disproportionate volume of your soul’s energy, they can be difficult to manage and control. And your dominant behavior pattern is usually established early in life which makes it difficult to change.
Your dominant planet is the critical hub of your life experience. It marks for a thought-cell group that strives to establish and maintain order in both your internal and external worlds. More than any other marker it defines a natural attraction for a particular experience and a special type of intelligence and ability that you, as one of God’s workers, are destined to develop through experience.
Its influence is all-pervasive and profound so you need to know and understand the powerful role your dominant planet is playing in your life. It maps a desire-urge that requires constant satisfaction; and its satisfaction is crucial to your happiness.
