Another interpretation I've read was that 0 degree reveals someone whole is intune with the most primal of human attributes & character whilst 29th degree people are more intune with the spiritual to the point where they lose interest in everyday pursuits focusing their energies towards the spiritual side, making them guess a little dazed & out of worldly or something like that.

The Fixed critical degrees are 8-9 and 21-22 (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aqua)

The Mutable critical degrees are 4 and 17 degrees (Gemini, Virgo, Sag and Pisces)

Personally, I consider all the 29 and 0 point degrees myself.
Another way to look at the 29th degree (anaretic) and the 0 degree (critical) is to see them as beginnings and endings, or of cycles of learning.

When you have a planet at the 29th degree, you can see it as wrapping up a lesson or tying up loose ends. There can sometimes be a sense of urgency about this degree, especially if it is in close aspect to another planet. Take a look at what planet it is as well as the energies of the sign it's under to get a better idea of what you are working on 'finishing'. Also, if there is a particularly close aspect associated with that planet, look to that aspect as being part and parcel of of the particular lesson. (ie - your Sun at the 29th degree might have karmic issues surrounding your identity or ego while Mars at the 29th degree could have something to do with assertiveness - too much or too little)
Those are just examples to give you an idea of what I mean.

The 0 degree is more like the beginning of a new cycle and adapting to a new energy. Apply the same idea as above but in terms of lessons you are beginning instead of ending. I have found that this is also very telling in your progressed chart as well.

In the charts I have studied where Mercury is at 29 degrees, I have found that there is karma associated with matters pertaining to communication.

I actually have my Draconic Mercury at 29 degrees Libra opposite Neptune at 0 degrees Taurus. I have the opposition natally as well but not at critical degrees. In any case, for me on a soul level, I find it important to work on making sure that I communicate clearly, without misunderstanding or fuzzy logic. I can tend to go back and forth between my Mercury (which is sharp and super concise) and my Neptune (which is very foggy and unclear and based in feelings and knowings which are hard to articulate).

For a Sun/Mercury conjunction I would say that in your case (depending on other aspects and house position) it may have to do with your identity and/or ego and how it affects the way you communicate or receive communication from others. Maybe ask yourself the question 'how can I find balance in my communications with others'?

Maybe that's influential because my first son has Juno at 29 Sag, my second son's ASC is 29 Sag, my third son's Pluto is at 29 Sag, and my fourth son's MC is 28 Sag...if that counts.

I am unclear on the whole "karmic lesson" viewpoint. Whilst I am a great believer in reincarnation I dont understand how I'm supposed to behave with these three planets at 29degs. If this is a life lesson then obviously I have some very important ones...how do I know if I'm getting it right?? Confused.com

I think that when a planet is at 0 degrees that we are beginning a new chapter of our life. We are a "baby" in this energy and are open for this new phase in our life.

Uranus in Cancer in 5th at 29 degrees. Had my daughter at 34 yrs and was a single mother for 14 years. Very tough test that one.

generally speaking, 0 degree is the strongest power and 29 is the weakest point. planets gain strength or lose their mojo based upon degrees and affinity with the sign they're in.

let's look at you 29 virgo venus. whilst it's in the fallen position of venus, a few moments later, venus would have entered her domicile of libra. because venus was about to go home, your venus gets a boost of excitement. ever get that feeling of looking at the clock and seeing that you have a few minutes left before you can go home? well that's what your venus acts like. venus is about to leave her jail cell and get to go home so she's getting all gussied up and happy. basically speaking, you don't really have that yucky of a venus unlike those who have early virgo venus. if anything, you have a stronger influence and behave more like a person with libra venus.
