It seems to imply that for me -- leaving behind past patterns associated with the one sign and developing qualities associated with the next. But yes, it will have to be a balancing act. Balance is always part of it. I see it as a choice setup by the soul looking into how they can move forward and/or a consequential direction of their karma. Any Uranian or erratic quality is based on the application of the person's free will and their orientation towards balance.

What do you mean by 'apparent disc'..?

The visible diameter of the Moon or Sun as it appears to us here on earth. In geometry this is known as Angular Diameter in astronomy. Both Sun and Moon have an angular diameter of about 1/2 degree with the Moon varying a bit from time to time.

Is that generally on the 29° and 0°?

Yes, always. Basically 29*30' to 0*30'.

Developing years meaning childhood?

Yes. Till age 21-23 when brain development finishes.

And you mean when that planet actually changes signs, and doesn't just remain in the same spot for years on end (like Pluto for example?)

Correct.

Would you include 28° and 1° or just 29° and 0°?

I tend to be pretty tight with these definitions, preferring a 'cusp' defined based on the apparent disc of the body involved. However, a while back when I did a bit of research into the Cayce readings related to 'cusps' (a side trail at that time, so I didn't collect a lot of examples) it seems he defined them as being at least the last two and first two degrees of any sign. So 27-28* to 02-3*. So apparently there is a 'cusp' condition of its own, a subconscious experience of potential dramatic choices relating to endings/beginnings for those with planets in cusp areas.

---

Because it moves slower, or/and because it's on the 28th degree (and not 29th)?

Right, Pluto in the above example was not as close to the cusp, and I believe it did not progress into the next sign.

There are no dumb questions,Doux Rêve. I don't know that my answers are the best or are anywhere close to total in their summary, but this is how I understand the Cayce view of cusps, and my own view of them. Questions are what drive learning.

I do recommend the Cayce readings database. I think even if you just have an online ARE membership to access them, you really get a great deal. I paid $35 last year for my membership and it has expired. I'll have to renew before I can get back into them and put together a fuller list of examples and a fuller picture of his approach.

By the way, hearttreasure, I was born when Venus was 28*49' Taurus which I consider to be in this cusp zone of changes. I can only tell you that, while I am a sort of passive sensualist, as is typical for poets like me, I waited a long time to find a partner who would appreciate me as I am. And I consider faithfulness important for me to what I might describe as a 'religious' degree.

For me the move from Venus/Taurus to Gemini seems only to be in pushing outward to communicate more and share more with others on a superficial level, because there was a time in my earlier life when I simply did not know how to do that. I abhorred superficial conversation and was rather close-mouthed on many things. It is also an urge to be more literary and appreciative of active involvement in the arts, rather than a passive appreciator. I do not feel that I've been through any 'Uranian' struggle with my affections or personal values or relationships. Except for perhaps the urge to be involved in the arts (I had a full voice scholarship for college), but letting it go for 'practical' reasons, sticking with a simpler life. I'll never know.

People have to be responsible for their own decisions and development. You can't lay a person's entire character at the feet of a single astrological factor, or upon astrology in general. There are influences, and then there is how people respond and what they do with them.

It's interesting... Not sure I've ever read about it being interpreted that way. I remember reading that it has a "stop and go" kind of quality to it, like you don't move when you have to make a decision and then just make a sudden, random move that doesn't always give the best results...

So for example, with Venus you'd be too wishy-washy when it comes to love matters and then just make a decision that seems to come a bit out of nowhere, or is too drastic, etc.

Not sure if that's applicable to every Venus at an anaretic degree though...

---

My Venus is also at 29'29 libra. That's exactly how I would describe it, but at the same time, I feel like I have some traits of a Scorpio Venus too, that overlap. My Venus is in my 8th house, though, so that maybe where it is all coming from. I just feel torn in areas of love. All of the time.

Well your progressed Venus is probably in Scorpio? Unless you're older than... 25-26 or something (depending on how fast Venus moves in your chart).
Oh but your natal Venus being in the 8H would definitely give a Plutonian vibe anyway.

My pVenus is in Scorpio right now, it's separating from a conjunction to Pluto.

I definitely have Scorpio traits in love matters, but I also have Sun & Mars there, so it's hard to tell.

All I know is that I am definitely a Libra Venus first and foremost. I don't have the whole "sexy, smoldering" look, I am not outwardly intense or magnetic, etc.

Mwell if it's something that affects you and your relationships a lot, perhaps find a way to cope with that tendency in healthy/ier ways?

Actually in my experience a lot of Scorpio Venuses aren't that jealous or possessive, but I think that's because they learn pretty early on how to control/transmute that energy.

Usually the jealousy part comes from insecurity and a need to have things under control. So a change in life views can be beneficial here, as well as better self-esteem, but that's very difficult. (You've gotta realize that you can't control others and their actions, it's part of "surrendering" to love/life. And learn how to love yourself and not give someone else the power to make you feel crappy about yourself, etc.)

And the obsession, well, I personally don't think it's a bad thing. If you're into me and not thinking about me often, then you're probably not that into me? Lol. It just seems normal to me to have someone you like constantly or often on your mind. The problem is what you do with it. Do you call them constantly and act needy? Or do you just keep it to yourself and daydream? etc.

Of course if it takes over your life and you can barely focus on other things, that is problematic, but again, it's a matter of changing your cognitive processes. Consciously redirecting the energy whenever you feel like you're being carried away too far.

If you're obsessing on what may go wrong and all that negative stuff, again it has to do with the need to have security and hence have it all under control. So it's not really about one person making you feel out of control or scared, it's about your own perception of life and life's events that matters... So learning how to be okay with change and emotional ups and downs is the lesson... Scorpio being a fixed Water sign, it's usually very difficult for us to be okay with the idea that things DO change, and feelings change, and people change, etc. We crave security but we've gotta realize and accept that security only comes from within and nothing in the outer world will ever make us feel truly secure. Things, people, all those things can be taken away from us in a snap of fingers. Security has to be found in other ways... In Spirit, or God, etc, for example. (Well that's my opinion of course, but I hope you get the point.)

Anyway, totally digressing here... Just sharing some of my thoughts.

So when a planet is by transit on the 29th degree or natally, i know that that the issues pertaining to that planetary placement are a source of pressure to "not make mistake" because there may not be a 2nd chance. Or the decision made may be irreversible.

An ex had Ven in Aries 29 and is not into commitment. He feels that he doesn't want to make the "wrong" decision and end up "stuck" with an undesirable person. And so he skips from one relationship to the next.

Another friend with Venus in Cap 29 recently got married after dating for 4 years. After i asked him why it took so long to pop the question, his response was "I didn't want to make a mistake". This as if his whole life depended on him being "right".

In my case, Sun is at 29 Sag. It rules the 5th house and sits in the 9th.When it comes to religious views(9th), I dont want to make a "mistake". I need to be "sure". So i am not belonging to any specific denomination. But am sampling each as I go.

This also extends to lovers (5th). I am very picky and do not want to choose someone i will regret long-term. This as if breaking up aint an option 🤣🤣
