A planet in the beginning degrees of a sign is I imagine,much like someone who is charging into new territory; it is scary, but exciting. New but also potentially dangerous.There is a dichotomy to the experience etc. But it is so delicious- because this energy is very much the "trailblazer". You are breaking a virginity status you didn't even know you had. 
Imagine being the 1st human ever to have sex(fire),give birth(earth),feel pain(water),come up with an idea(air)? Breathtaking!!!
Now people often confuse this energy with Aries- saying that it has to show aggression,assertion and visibility. I disagree.
It does have a very "Aries" feel, but that's not all of it at all.What i realized, in my own experience, was that a planet between 0-5 degrees tends to make me forget the past and focus on the future.True.Especially when it is on the angles.
But it also makes me aware of new fears, new questions,new options and new dangers etc.
There is a willingness to trip and fall and be blissfully unaware of one's immaturity on one hand.Try something completely different,feel new feelings or be obsessed with a booming idea.
But there is also a deep vulnerability- like the penguin who takes the leap inside the icy waters. Will he swim to safety or be devoured by the predators? It's very ALL or NOTHING.
In contrast,the last degrees- 25-29 Degrees(Especially the 29th) are about "closing up,ending and drawing conclusions".
Here there is a tendency to tie up loose ends,to make peace with what has been,to learn the lesson,to find the meaning and reason and also to tally up ones "mistakes".
I have noticed that when a planet is on the last degree(by transit)- especially the slower moving ones- Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus ,Neptune,Pluto; There is a wanting to say goodbye to something or tie up some lose end in that house.
Some decide to end a relationship,say goodbye to a friend,throw away something that was once cherished.Close up something, make up their mind about something that was long pondered over or abandon an outdated idea that no longer serves them etc.
Many people tend to also confuse this energy with Pisces or Scorpio,but what I have noticed is that it doesn't always mean that the individual is "profound" or familiar with the themes the sign represents.
In most cases,it suggests that they are still learning about what has been,trying to make sense of what has happened.
Some are usually wise in evaluating things that have come to pass.Becoming armchair philosophers and evaluating past experiences from that point of reference.
Others find themselves continuing to make the same mistakes again and again. And in the process continue to be bombarded with the same painful messages again and again-if they are hard of hearing.It doesn't let up.
This degree can feel "heavy" to some whilst "enlightening" to others,a sort of "aha" realization of what has been.
These people usually develop good skills of "follow through"- no matter the sign. And if they don't,trust me when I say that life will beat that skill into them(if needs be).
They need to always finish what they start. If they don't,it tends to haunt them and doesn't allow them to learn the lesson for doing it in the 1st place.
Watch the planets move in the 1st and last degrees for yourself and see if what I am saying makes sense.
Right now Saturn will be closing up on Scorpio. Look to the essence of the energy and the house that it is currently in. Is there something there that needs to be closed up,ended or finalized?
29 Degree is ending and 0 degree is beginning.
