Esoteric Astrology Calculator
Every sign has a second ruler, the one the soul answers to.
Ordinary astrology gives each sun sign one ruling planet. Esoteric astrology, as Alice Bailey set it out, gives three: the exoteric ruler of the personality, the esoteric ruler of the soul, and the hierarchical ruler of the sign as a whole. Enter your birth date to see yours, the rays that pour through your sign, and how your numerology life path sits beside them.

The Twelve Signs
Exoteric, esoteric and hierarchical rulers after Alice Bailey.
How This Is Read
The sign comes from your birth date on the tropical zodiac. The rulers, rays and keynotes follow Alice Bailey's Esoteric Astrology (1951). The numerology line reduces your life path to a single digit and gives it the planet that digit answers to in Western numerology: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Uranus, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Neptune, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars.
