I'm confused... you all talk about critical degrees of 29' and l have no idea what it means!

For example if a composite has MC/IC at 29' scorpio/taurus would does it mean please?

Are critical degrees fated or negative, karmic or anything else!

Big aspects to the slow movers [Jupiter on out] can happen 3 - 5 times. Right now we have Saturn Uranus in opposition which will be exact 5 times.

Beginnings and endings of signs are important as well. 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. The themes relating to each zodiac sign are specific to their energy and should be examined.

Aspects to the degrees also need to be examined. For ex.the conjunction is quite powerful in the slow movers as they are once in a life time events and are presages of a new cycle beginning.

Some are semi-permanent like the GC Galactic Center @ 26+ Sag. An extremely powerful point. And the GA or Great Attractor @ 14+ Sag. But that would take a very long post

I have ASC at 13'51 degrees of Libra: critical degree.

I feel them almost all the time. Somebody wrote (not here) that has the same ASC and very hard life. It is hard life (now), but it was nice as well.

About 29 degree: most of the people are psychics or clairvoyants if they have that degree in Pisces, Scorpio or some other sign.

theres "decans", degrees meaning things, houses, signs, planets, whew.. where does it stop?

i can't tell what the degrees are, from angles? :S my IC[Libra] is 29th i think, not sure ?

p.s. What do the green symbols mean (in the aspects chart at the bottom?) and the black ones?

My ex friend (her Natal Chart is there, where is Saturn in 6th) has Sun at 29 degrees of Pisces: she is happy, healthy, clairvoyant, has much younger and well educated man, money. What more she needs? All that with very low education!

I have no planets at 29 degrees (except Lillith at 29 degrees of Scorpio) and I am more unhappy than people with so-called critical 29th degree.

However, my merc 29 is trine pluto at 29 also, so I think it's very positive also in that it helps me reform my thinking.

I see my Mars as the chaotic, unstable presence of my mother, and also a hint of my father. I have Mars in Cancer, and she's a Cancer sun. The 8th is traditionally ruled by Pluto/Scorpio, and my father is a Scorpio sun. So is my grandmother, who has had an active part in raising me. I've had traumatic experiences with my family. The 4th house cusp is on Aries, so we can see how Mars for me is directly related to an unstable family life. Not only do I have Mars in the more negative 8th house as related to family affairs, but it is at 29 degrees. It also opposes my 2nd house planets, who *I* am... and appropriately enough over the years my Uranus and Neptune influenced personality has clashed with many of my family members represented by the planet Mars in the 8th.

Mars in the 4th ALONE causes intense arguments with family members... but I feel Mars in the 8th AND in the 29th degree makes it worse for me. If I was reading another's chart with this placement and its aspects, I would immediately guess verbal and emotional abuse within the family. And it's true I've had that. And not just to me - other family members do it to each other, and cause a general sense of chaos all around.

At the same time, Pluto makes a trine to Mars. So I feel this gives me some amount of hope, which says one day I can rise from the ashes of childhood abuse and become a stronger, better person and leave my family behind. Pluto regenerates. It wants to transform. This trine to a planet in a anaretic degree gives me hope that I can triumph past its 'exhaustion' in the last degree of a sign.

I know my experience is highly personal. I wonder if anyone else has had a very personal experience of a planet at 0 or 29 degrees. I can imagine having the sun at 27-29 degrees would also be very hard. How do I guess this? I have a progressed sun at 28 degrees right now in Libra... and personal relationships are at a boiling point! :'O

I've had difficulties, trauma and betrayal in my family. My family has been a tremendous amount of pain and confusion for me.

I hope everything will work out for you. You seem strong. Good luck to you.

The implications on my family/past/and home stability have been off the charts! Very difficult finding stability. Even as a child I moved more times than I remember. Tough times with family, a lot of pressure to be the Rock and glue as an adult.

My mother relies on me a lot for stability but says I am too overbearing on the homefront ( leo ascendant square sun/pluto??) but I say.." Hey, you want me to keep things in control on your side, then by god I am doing it my way!"...
