The preceding or following degree does not count in that equation (though of course they tell a strong story, too).

While I don“t give them the same importance as the article, I do find something intriguing about those sensitive degrees, especially if there are many planets clustered.

"Every person has a weak spot or a 'weak' area you can find in the horoscope wheel.

When two people -- who have the same weak spot -- meet, things may go awfully wrong...

If they have the same 'auspicious spot or area', things may go exceptionally well.

There are different methods to find out what these weak (and auspicious) spots or areas are but one technique is just so simple that even lay(wo)men without any prior knowledge of astrology will be able to find things out.

It has everything to do with the 30° dial or list that shows the numerical degree of all planets and points in a chart wheel (from 0° till 29°).

So, irrespective of the zodiac sign a planet, body or point resides in, what counts is the numerical degree of the planet, body or point.

When in a natal chart two or more planets, bodies or points are at the same numerical degree in a sign, they build a configuration that is so powerful that it overrules any other aspect and is part of the astrological DNA of the native.

This specific degree becomes a focal point that blends the meaning of all the planets, bodies and points involved.

When you date or meet someone else who has the same numerical degree activated because (s)he too has two or more planets, bodies or points at the same numerical degree in a sign, things may become highly interesting (for good or ill).

This numerical degree will be(come) a highly sensitive point that will mark and influence the relationship and the lives of both partners involved profoundly (for good or ill).

This will become very noticeable when one or more transiting or progressed planets or bodies happen to traverse the same numerical degree(s).

Indeed, this focal point will be triggered when transiting or progressed planets or bodies are at the same numerical degree in a sign, and especially when more than one planet is at this degree and/or when a slow-moving generational planet is posited or transiting at this very degree.

If all the planets, bodies or points involved in both natal charts are friendly, 'benefic' and/or 'enjoyable' ones and the transiting or progressed planets too are 'benefic', you can expect some highly auspicious experiences or events popping up.

However, if all the planets, bodies or points involved in both natal charts are rather inimical or 'malefic' ones and the transiting or progressed planets too are 'malefic', you better fasten your seat belts because an uncomfortable, stressful and/or upsetting situation is likely to await you (AND the relationship alike)."

This checkup of course means that we tune in onto the partile aspects between charts, the Ptolemaic aspects plus quinkunx and semisextile.

However I had not really listed them before, and not taken progressions into consideration.

But just now I found it interesting that P and me share each 2 points/planets on 25°xx

For him this is:
ASC: 25 (Pisces)
Venus: 25 (Cap)

me:
Sun: 25 (Sag)
Mercury: 25 (Sag)

Interestingly we met when his pr Sun was at 25 Cap.

Of course it was "only" a semisextile to my Sun-Mercury.

Another thing that I`ve always found interesting, is that we have a partile Mars-Jupiter-opposition (Mars rules his intercepted 1st house, Jupiter rules my 1st house).

his Mars: 11 (Virgo)
my Jupiter: 11 (Pisces)

and

his Jupiter: 10 (Virgo)
my Node: 10 (Sag)

This year, when we`ve begun to interact and communicate much more than before, it slowly started when his pr Venus was entering 10 Pisces, and became quite personal when his pr Venus was passing onto 11 Pisces (where it still is)

In the very least this check up is an interesting added info; it of course doesn`t override the basic synastric analysis. But you can see which spots will probably respond simultaneously to progressions and transits, hence are most likely to herald "events" in a given timeframe (though personally I would add the preceding and following degree, so in the case of the 11 degree occurrence, keep a look out at 10-12 degrees of any sign, though probably the 4th harmonic aspects will have more event-character than other aspects. But who knows?

Also, one unfortunate thing about it is, that it doesn`t illuminate the 8th harmonic aspects, which seem to be more strongly event-oriented as they are being given credit for).

Nevertheless even just sticking to the method suggested in the article, can be quite interesting.
