To start, you can find your dominant planet through the chart in this post. In this chart your dominant planet will be in the largest percentage.
Heavenly bodies are considered dominant if they meet one or more of the following conditions:
• It rules the Sun Sign, Ascendant Sign and/or Dominant Sign
• It is posited near one of the Angular Houses
• It is in the Sign of its rulership
• It forms many aspects (certain angles that heavenly bodies form in relation to each other)
It is not unusual for a Chart to possess multiple planets that meet these conditions but the strongest will be considered your true dominant.
