25 years ago, Annalisa theorized that transits of the planet the rules the chart are always beneficial.  This was innovative at the time because both my sister and I have Capricorn rising and the widely held wisdom at the time was that you were uniformly up a creek when Saturn came ’round.

Her basis was that the individual is naturally attuned to the energy of the chart ruler so had little problem aligning and while this makes logical sense I have never been able to draw a firm conclusion even though both my sister and I always benefit from Saturn transits because here’s the question:

Is it because she is right about this, or do we benefit because we both have Saturn strongly placed and well aspected?  In other words, if Saturn were trashed in our charts would we still fare well? Libra has never been able to decide.

Is the chart ruler friendly to the chart… Period?
