"29 Degrees Sagittarius: The Zodiac’s “Bad Mother F–ker” Point?"

Sagittarius is the sign of the quests, crusades, and devil-may-care adventures. It’s the sign most likely to be passionately involved in religious, spiritual, or philosophical pursuits. At it’s most extreme expression, however, Sagittarius is the sign of “Doom’s Super Soldier” who will stop at nothing to achieve its quest, according to astrologer Austin Coppock. (Source)

If Sagittarius is the sign of the quasi-religious philosopher-super soldier then is it any surprise that actor Samuel Jackson, best known for playing a Bible quoting philosopher-hitman in the film Pulp Fiction, is a 29 degrees Sagittarius Sun? (Chart)

There are 30 degrees to each sign, 0-29, with each successive degree correlating to a more concentrated form of that sign’s energy. Twenty nine degrees Sagittarius is thus the most intensely concentrated degree of Sagittarius. Jackson’s wallet in Pulp Fiction is inscribed with the phrase “Bad Mother ****** ” which is basically a synonym for “Doom’s Super Soldier”, the most intensely extreme expression of Sagittarius energy.

As mentioned already, Sagittarius can usually be found on a spiritual quest of some sort. Samuel Jackson’s character in Pulp Fiction, not coincidentally, spends most of the film on a quest for his boss’s suitcase. We never find out for sure what’s in the suitcase but it does shine very brightly when opened, which leads us to believe there may be some type of spiritual component to whatever is in it. Jackson’s character, like a textbook Sagittarius, also undergoes something loosely akin to a spiritual awakening from the beginning to the end of the film. He also speaks quite loudly, yet another Sagittarius trademark.

I know ya'll like cusps or whatever (I don't), but I had never heard anyone say that as a sign goes on, the energy gets more concentrated. Mostly astrologers state that 29 degrees is an ANARETIC degree, hence why the energy is more obvious and that 0 degrees of any sign is its most "purest" (makes sense because it is that sign's decan and dwad, too, as in 0 Aries is in the Aries decan and Aries dwad of Aries).

Thoughts?

Take a surfer,
0-9 The early degrees are just getting their feet wet, floundering about. They make a lot of mistakes getting their footing right. A ton, but that's OK. They are wide open to the new experience, their minds are like sponges regarding varying points of view on how to get this thing 'right'. They are excited and ready to go. This segment can be VERY creative because after a certain 'breaking-in' point they aren't afraid of making mistakes. I think it's safe to say that if a person has many chart factors in early degrees, esp Sun/Moon/ASC, that they are a handful. This group can be very jumpy.
10-19 Mid degrees are in their intermediate lessons. They've got some of it down, but could use more help. They're comfortable enough to feel it out and believe that they know the right way about half of the time, but sometimes are left very unsure because they haven't dealt with many adverse conditions, just yet. There's banter going on with other intermediates because there's relief that they're not new at this anymore, so in that way there can be a sense of self-righteousness. But you can't blame em, they're just proud of what they've accomplished. They will happily help out beginners because it makes them feel better about themselves and reinforces all that they've learned.
20-29 The late degrees are in it to win it. You can't teach them anything that they don't already know. They will win that surfing competition in the most unfavorable weather conditions. They will be natural guides to the 2 other decanates, but it is more leading by example. Often, they may not want to help out very much at all. Because they are so advanced their mind is now on bigger issues, a bigger picture. So you get some gems of wisdom from them every so often, but they're really on a whole different level now, and because of that can feel misunderstood. But on the other hand, they're so advanced that they don't really care. If something feels right to them, they will go for it. If other people aren't on board, then that is their problem. They're so comfortable in their experience that they enjoy a huge level of freedom because of it. This segment can also be highly skilled and creative, especially the very late portion of the sign; they offer more depth than the early degrees.

I've gotta say, though. What the heck IS a Sun-Magion (exact) in 29 Sagittarius then? Especially with a conjunction to Neptune less than 1.5' orb?

This has been stumping me for days now. I just have no answer. Namely, 'cause there's nothing on Magion. But on top of that, the 29' degree got me, too. I thought, 'Dude, what the heck are you here to DO?'

"ACUMEN - [27 degrees into Sagittarius]
These people on the down side can get worn down by life and not care anymore. Disgrace, legal problems, imprisonment." http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Degrees.html

The Astrologers Degeree
Alan Leo had his ascendant at 27 Leo as well and mentioned it specifically as a factor. I would say that anything within a 2° orb of any point has to be significant, at least from what I've read on the subject. http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10112
