A planet's strength in the chart is increased when in any of these degrees, or within an orb of 3 degrees of the critical degree. There are critical degrees in each of the Signs

---

The critical degrees by sign are:

Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn: 0 - 13 - 26
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius: 9 - 21
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces: 4 - 17

Just curious is anyone has planets on these degrees and feels that they are strengthen in someway that isn't necessarily accounted for by house, sign or aspect. A tough one to discern, sure, but give it some thought.

I have my Venus at 4 Gem, weakened by a conunction with Saturn at 29 Tau. Yet I do feel that despite being in Gem and crowded by a lackluster Saturn placement, my Venus does quite well.

My Sun is at 26 Libra in the 3rd house. My Asc is an anaretic 29Leo54. There are times when I feel more Leo than Libra! My Sun is also conjunct Saturn and Neptune so I get to be a restricted space cadet! Since my Moon is the handle of a bucket formation and the apex of a Yod, I've always felt there's a lot of lunar energy in my makeup. This is interesting to learn that the luminaries may be the most "powerful" or strongest parts of my natal chart.....

posted August 05, 2005 03:04 AM            

Exact ones are:

My Uranus is 0 Capricorn in the 3rd house; Mars 9 Aquarius in the 4th House; Jupiter 9 Taurus in the 8th House.

And I also have Neptune 10 Capricorn on the cusp of the 3rd/4th House, and Venus 15 Gemini.

I was aware of Neptune and Venus being strong in my chart (at least I feel that they are strong in my chart) but I have never really paid any attention to the exact critical degree planets in my own chart.

Very interesting, I will have to look in to this more (I would look in to it more but its 2am and I really should be getting to bed, haha!)

i have just 1 of these: mars 26*libra. i think it tends to make me passive-aggressive!

i have a few others that are w/in that orb of 3*: sun 10*libra, pluto 11*libra, venus 8*scorp.

hey i just now realised that i have that thing (forget what it's called) where 1 sign has a planet & the other sign has the previous sign's planetary ruler. lol did i say that right?? i.e. pluto (rules scorpio)in libra and venus (rules libra) in scorpio! anyone remember what this means or where i can find that thread??

p.s. zala, what is an 'anaretic ascendant'? is mine one being that it is 29*gemini? i really feel more cancerian than geminian (i just made that word up i think)

GemNymph, am I reading this right~ 0 THROUGH 13 ~ THROUGH 26 etc. or only exact degrees plus the 3 deg orb? If that is the case almost all of my placements fall within critical degree or at least within orb of the critical degree. My sun is the only one left out at 22 deg Virgo~~~

So..how is this supposed to reflect on the native.

Asc Cancer 1 deg

Many astrologers consider 0 and 29 degrees of any sign critical degrees as well. The 0 and 29 degrees are more crisis-oriented points, especially in predictive work.

...If a natal planet is found at 29 degrees of any sign, also known as the Anaretic degree, there can be some real issues with decision-making in that part of the personality represented by the energies of the planet. The native may evaluate and re-evaluate situations before making a move one day, and the next day, jump into the action without listening to himself or herself! For example, if Mars is at 29 degrees, the native may devise many plans of actions, worry excessively about the possible actions and different routes to take, and then execute a spontaneous action that is contrary to the decision!

Critical Degrees at some page wrote:
Beginnings and Endings of Zodiac Signs

Just as the zodiac as a whole is a cycle, each zodiac sign by itself is also a cycle. The beginnings and endings of cycles are always important, so 0 degrees and 29 degrees of each sign are critical degrees. 0 degrees represents new beginnings or unfoldings of the energy and effects related to that sign. 29 degrees represents our efforts to complete or perfect our handling of that sign's energies.

Significance of the First and the Last Degree

When treating the subject of particular degrees of the Zodiac, I will also mention the first and the last degree of each particular sign. Each planet that comes into contact with these degrees can have a very strong impact, although an unstable one.

Particularly interesting is the last degree of each sign. We are used to think that towards the end of a sign, its influence decreases, whereas the influence of the next sign starts to manifest. Here lies the surprise - at the end, its influence gets stronger again and manifests very intensively. It is as if at the last step, the sign wanted another opportunity to show its identity before the new quality starts to dominate.

Critical Degrees

The Critical Degrees are 0, 13, 26 of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), 9 and 21 of Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), 4 and 17 of Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces). When a Critical Degree falls on a house cusp, it shows stress and climax. The matters of the houses ruled and occupied by a planet in one of the critical degrees is grave, serious, and climactic.

Aries Point Degrees

The true Aries Point degree is 0 Aries, however, the 0 degree of the four Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are all referred to as Aries Point degrees. This beginning degree of the Cardinal signs has similar connotations to the angles of a chart and is an indicator of eventful times when occupied by a planet or found on a house cusp. These points are indicative of a spectacular out rush of energies. There is frequently an involvement with the world at large. Outsiders or those who’re considered an expert in some area becomes involved in one’s personal matters. Ramifications of events often have a domino effect into each personal area of the life as represented by these four Cardinal points: personal, family, relationships and status. Those with a planet in this degree in the natal chart often have some influence in worldly affairs or at some point they come into public view. As such, the degree is also associated with fame. There is no "orb" involved. The planet must be within that opening degree of one of the four Cardinal signs, not one degree higher or lower.

1. degree of cardinal signs - new beginning

Cusp is the exact day/night one sign ends and the other begins, period. Also, had that been correct, it would make no sense for the Decans to be the way they are. First Decan is always the dignified/own Decan, and that makes a sign doublesign in own dignity.

Then there are those who believe that sign-influence starts out strong and gradually decreases. Personally, I think it's a bit more reliable than the idea above, but it's still sort of vague to assume that. You start out in a sign, the dignified decan, and dignified duad, and slowly move forward with influences that wash out the "purity". I don't think the ENERGY of a sign decreases, or the strength, but that "purity" does. Taurus Decan of Taurus, then Virgo Decan of Taurus putting a new overtone on the Taurus, then Capricorn Decan of Taurus, blah blah blah words words words words, period.

Mars 0 Virgo
Jupiter 0 Sag (ruler of my Sun)

Well it's hard to say because the moon is heavily aspected in my chart (apex of yod, squares to Uranus and Neptune, and trine Mars, Sun and Mercury). I really have no idea what it means that it's a critical degree.

Venus is on my IC in 8 Sco, so it's in detriment and critical, but it's also trine Saturn and quintile Neptune. Also no idea what it means to be critical degree.

Relationships and emotions certainly play a huge role, but isn't that the case for everyone?

Mars-Jupiter in 0 degrees makes sense, I was always getting into trouble growing up, but then Mars is also in the 1st opposite Saturn and square Pluto which is conjunct Jupiter.

So I don't know?! But I found this site which is helpful!
http://www.dearbrutus.com/artmiscellany.html

"When your natal Moon is critical you possess good instincts and great tenacity; yet life is never a settled issue for you. You’re never quite sure what it is you want out of life, so you’re never quite satisfied with things as they are. You tend to hold yourself back because you have an emotional sensibility which is very easily moved or disturbed. You take everything that happens very much to heart, which on its negative side can become a tendency to sulk or pout. At your worst you are completely dominated by your moods, and the less rational they are, the more adamant you become. Your best quality is your willingness to follow your intuition all the way to the end, which endows you with a great capacity for loyalty and dedication."

It does apply to me, certainly, but then again so does the description for people who don't have any planets conjunct critical degrees.

"When your natal Venus is critical you possess an unflagging optimism and hopefulness; yet life seems to continually disappoint your expectations. You are endowed with a somewhat abashed playfulness and the eager anticipation of a child, but you are extremely vulnerable emotionally and susceptible to being imposed upon or taken advantage of. Actually you victimize yourself with a childish impatience and refusal to allow things to run their course – such as waiting for Mr. or Ms. “Right” to come along, and pouncing on any likely prospects. You may not be looking for give-and-take in an intimate relationship so much as for security and a sense of stability. On your positive side you have a nurturing impulse towards your fellows. You are a delight to know because you are spontaneous, full of adventure, and possessed of a wide-eyed curiosity about the world."

This is slightly true..

"When your natal Mars is critical you possess great perseverance and endurance; but you usually find yourself in a rut, stuck in the same old dead-end situations. You don’t like being under pressure but often find yourself in that position because you put off decision-making or just let things slide until you’re absolutely forced to make a stand. You may harbor secret ambitions or dreams of grandeur, together with a secret fear of successfully realizing them; so you tend to carry an air of frustrated intentions around with you. On the other hand, you mix your caution with bravado and panache and an exceptional amount of personal charm. You have a sense of fair play and a determination to shield and protect other people, which is the hallmark of an incipient heroism."

"When your natal Jupiter is critical you possess a rather sheepish desire to be looked up to and a gift for taking charge, together with a disinclination to play at all unless you can make the rules. You are the proverbial “leader without followers”: enthusiastic and eager to share, but overly set in your ways and fixed in your views so that there is a certain point beyond which you just cannot be reached. You take great delight in sheer contrariness, and there may be a vaguely patronizing or condescending air about you – or the sense that you are humoring or indulging other people. If life at times makes you feel that nothing you say or do counts, it’s because you’re often unwilling to give anyone else any credit. When you have learned the virtues of adaptability, the steadfastness of purpose and complete sincerity which are your outstanding qualities win you the firm allegiance of all who know you."

The Jupiter one, definitely Woah, that's probably the most helpful thing I've come across in astrology in a long time..

A lot of these I think were more true when I was growing up and a little bit more immature. But they still fit.
