Ruling Planets

Spotted this on the bookshelf at the library and decided to take a look. Since it's a heavy book meant to be used as reference material, I didn't find it necessary to read each page. I just read the information that was most relevant for me. I think that this would be a neat addition to my bookshelf, as it contains quite a bit of information about ruling planets and the signs associated with them. I could see myself using this book to learn more about other people in my life. It is set up in a way that lets the reader go from chapter to chapter and find their birthday planet's corresponding sign. I found out a bit about my own personality reading about Venus, which happened to be in Gemini when I was born. I don't consider this book's information to be the “whole story” of my personality and soul, just as I don't consider any one element of esoterica to be the whole story. I consider ruling planets to be an equal-sized puzzle piece to be reflected on along with other pieces in one's birth chart. A picture cannot be seen by viewing only one puzzle piece; they have to be put together!
