Some astrologers believe that each number from 0 to 9 is ruled by a celestial body in our solar system -- the layout below is one widely accepted system among modern astrologers but there are other systems as well, such as the kabbalistic system.
- Zero is ruled by the planet Pluto.
- One is ruled by the Sun and the astrological aspect of the conjunction.
- Two is ruled by the Moon and the astrological aspect of the opposition.
- Three is ruled by Jupiter and the astrological aspect of the trine.
- Four is ruled by Sun or Uranus.
- Five is ruled by the planet Mercury and the astrological aspect of the quincunx.
- Six is ruled by the planet Venus and the astrological aspect of the sextile.
- Seven is ruled by the planets Moon or Neptune.
- Eight is ruled by the planet Saturn.
- Nine is ruled by the planet Mars and the astrological aspect of the square.
While different from the actual planets themselves, each astrological sign has also long been associated with a particular number, beginning with Aries which has the first sign of the western Zodiac and ending with Pisces.
