"If a Planet is found in the final degree of any sign, that is from 29 to 30 degrees of the sign, it is posited in an Anaretic Degree, commonly labelled a "Fate Degree." The matters influenced by a planet in this degree have reached a critical phase of development and must be dealt with.

The affairs ruled by a planet in an Anaretic Degree must be handled at the appointed times-when the planet is activated by major predictive factors, such as transits and eclipses. The individual will feel a sense of urgency when the planet is activated. Any attempt to ignore or delay dealing with the affairs indicated results in serious failure and frustration where they are concerned. To understand the details involved in these affairs, consider the sign and house position of the planet, the house or houses it rules, the sign and house of which it is the exalted ruler, the aspects made to it, and the planet which disposits it. When this planet is set off by major transits-that is, by Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto-major events are brought into focus that teach important karmic lessons and make a deep impression upon the individual.

In considering the influences of a planet in an Anaretic Degree, the houses which the planet rules, its dispositing planet, and its decanate and duad should also be considered."

"If the Sun is posited in an Anaretic Degree, these individuals have to deal with a major unfulfilled drive for self-expression each time the Sun is set off by Saturn or any of the outer planets. Jupiter is instrumental this process, stimulating past memories and karmic conditions that must be dealt with if these people are to expand in self-expression. Jupiter and Saturn transits stir them to an awareness of the ego's demand for self-expression through the ambitions and through the practical circumstances of life which these planes activate. The outer planers-Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto-can subject these individuals to the effects of large-scale cultural changes that demand a creative effort on their part to bring about practical realization of what is required of them in the larger scheme of things."

"The Moon posited in an Anaretic Degree indicates that the established emotional habit patterns and automatic responses require thorough revision and are periodically brought up for review. These individuals must be willing to surrender prejudiced and preconceived notions inherent in their family and cultural backgrounds, especially if the Moon is afflicted, if they are to make further progress in life, particularly in regard to business, family, and domestic affairs.

Major transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto bring about emotional crises that force this realization. Fundamental emotional prejudices and conditionings are often shaken to the roots and they enter a phase of more expanded awareness and growth. This process can be particularly painful for those with an afflicted Moon in a Fixed sign. Critical circumstances may arise through relationships with women or through interactions with family members. The type of situation experienced is determined by the sign and house positions of the Moon."

"If Mercury is posited in an Anaretic Degree, important issues arise in relation to work, health, education, ideas, intellectual attitudes, and communications with friends and those in the immediate environment. These important issues often concern brothers, sisters, neighbors, and others with whom there in daily contact. These individuals can influence or be influenced by these people in significant ways. They are often faced with decisions of major consequence. Negotiation of legal documents and agreements should be taken seriously and handled with caution. In determining what decisions, should be made, the sign and house position of Mercury and the natal and transiting aspects to it must be considered."

"If Venus is posited in an Anaretic Degree, critical issues will arise in relation to sex, money, business partnerships, romantic relationships, marriage, and other close personal relationships. Handling these issues requires great psychological understanding and diplomacy. The House and Sign placements of Venus and natal and transiting aspects should be considered."

"If Mars is posited in an Anaretic Degree, these individuals' desires and impulses to action bring about critical events and circumstances of major consequence. Crisis situations that demand immediate and effective action often arise and can keep them in a continual state of emotional tension and upset. Precipitous action can have undesirable results. It is wise to exercise wisdom and moderation when Mars is placed in an Anaretic Degree. These individuals should learn to avoid all-or-nothing attitudes and extremist tendencies. Dangerous situations should be avoided when Mars is set off by adverse transits. Patience and deliberate action must be employed. Often, they are forced to understand and change the level of expression of their desires through realizing that these desires can lead to personal, even physical, danger.

If Mars is well aspected, these people have a strong strategic sense born out of experience, which enables them to be highly effective in their endeavors. The House and Sign positions of Mars and natal and transiting aspects should all be considered in determining the wisest course of action and its probable outcome."

"If Jupiter is posited in an Anaretic Degree, there is a strong sense of cultural awareness based on rich past experience. However, if Jupiter is afflicted, past conditioning may cause narrowmindedness or prejudice. These individuals may be faced with serious moral choices when Jupiter is set off by important transits. Critical situations arise, and a far-sighted and broad outlook must be adopted to achieve results beneficial to all concerned and to their own long-range well-being. These critical situations often relate to higher education, religion, philosophy, legal affairs or cultural institutions. The house and sign positions of Jupiter and natal and transiting aspects to it will describe these situations and provide guidance in making the proper choices."

"If Saturn is posited in an Anaretic Degree, critical situations can arise in the financial, professional, legal, political, and organizational affairs. When Saturn is activated by important transits, these individuals are usually required to handle serious and grave responsibilities, usually of a professional nature, or related to older people or to those in established positions of power and authority. Often, unfinished business or responsibilities that have not been properly handled in the past will demand attention. They must consolidate their positions and organize the affairs of their lives to achieve maximum security and stability. Practicality, organization, discipline, and common sense are demanded when important transits activate this placement of Saturn. The nature of these responsibilities can be determined by the sign and house positions of Saturn and the natal and transiting aspects made to Saturn."

"If Uranus is posited in an Anaretic Degree, sudden and unexpected circumstances demanding immediate attention arise in the individual's life. It is necessary to adjust rapidly to changing circumstances and adopt new methods of coping with them. Often, these sudden changes are brought about by scientific, occult, corporate business and group, and organizational associations, and by friends. Because of Uranus's exaltation in Scorpio, the sudden death of people important to these individuals can drastically alter their lives. These events will come into focus when Uranus is set off by transits or other predictive phenomena. The nature of these events will be indicated by the natal sign and house positions of Uranus and natal and transiting aspects."

"If Neptune is posited in an Anaretic Degree, psychological tendencies of the past will be forced into critical evaluation. If Neptune is afflicted and these individuals have neurotic tendencies, crisis situations can arise. They must either deal with them or succumb to them completely. Private affairs and secrets in the past can be brought into the open when Neptune is activated by important transits. These people are forced to rely on intuitive faculties. Ultimately, they attain a spiritual level of guidance on which they can rely to sustain themselves. In this way, progress can be made toward the resolution of subtle and difficult problems. If they are lacking in spiritual awareness., they may be self-deceptive or lay themselves open to deception by others. The nature of the psychological tendencies expressed depends upon the sign and house positions of Neptune, as well as natal and transiting aspects made to Neptune."

"If Pluto is posited in an Anaretic Degree, situations arise in the individual's life which demand regeneration and improvement. These individuals may be forced to assume a role of authority or leadership. Failure to handle these critical situations can result in undesirable and even drastic consequences. However, penetrating insights and profound realizations can arise from coping with such situations. They can refine the pure essence or value from these experiences and transform it into something of large-scale value. How this is accomplished depends upon the sign and house positions of Pluto, as well as natal and transiting aspects."

Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't know about asteroids. I am not qualified to answer.

Yes, it would be even more so with the Nodes, as they ARE the pointers of our Karma.

Do you have your chart posted? I have seen some of your posts, and it sounds like you have a LOT going on.

I have a composite with someone in which our venus, mercury and Juno are all at 29 degrees.

So the Eclipses have only begun to set that off. I will have a look.

The first one was three weeks ago.

Oh, it's him, not you. I was looking for the Anaretic, silly me!

It's not in my book, Dani; but it is certainly relevant.

You would look to Sign, House and aspects; especially Conjunctions.

That might be a Blue Moon Eclipse, or a Black Moon one.

Like the one we just had in Leo.

Eclipses are Transits. Sometimes they are Progressions.

They indicate changes, sometimes in a big way. It all depends on what you were born with, and how things are hitting it.

I don't do composites, I'm sorry. I much prefer Synastry, as a composite is midpoints. I think Synastry is a much more concrete measure of a relationship. I really focus on that and Transits. Especially Eclipses and Karmic Astrology. I don't always like to answer questions as a one-off, because you really have to take everything into account.

There is a Lunar Eclipse on November seventeenth, and then we are good for another six months. They happen twice a year, in Pairs or sometimes Three.
