Thank you sm!
mysoullanguage Answer:
degrees aren’t that important at all, in fact I think they should only be looked at when they have specific critical degrees, such as 0°, 14°/15°/16°, 18°, 22°, or 29°; however, people still like looking at them because each degree can pinpoint a unique talent or trait that differs from other placements. this can be found if, for example, you have venus on a degree not listed above, but is still a degree that explains your beauty. they are not the only determining factor when reading a birth chart but they can be very prominent. you can learn a lot just by a critical degree. the reason I choose these degrees specifically is because:
- 0° is what I call the newborn °; if you have any placement in this °, then the placement will exude unaltered, undiluted energy. there is no filter to this placement. it’s an aries degree. if you have mercury in 0° for example, then you will talk in a manner that is bold, confident, honest. if venus is in 0°, then the way you love will be very much naive, forgiving, and deeply affectionate. if leo is in 0°, boldness will run through and through.
- 14°, 15°, and 16° are crisis °; if you have any placement with this °, you will experience humbling experiences that teach you certain lessons. if in mars, you will have trouble or fear with confrontation and you will find it hard to exert yourself and put pressure towards what you want. if in neptune, you will have a hard time understanding the difference between certain spiritual indulgences. in other words, you will struggle with your spirituality, religion. you will have an obsessive mind tailored to many fantasies you escape to.
- 18° is a diabolical °; this is a virgo °, and supposedly brings illness and misfortune to whatever planet or placement you have in this °. if in mercury, it can manifest as nervousness or extreme anxiety and issues with diet and general health, or body issues. if in saturn, it will manifest poorly and can bring literal sickness to you. if in jupiter, it can bring obesity; it will also come as trouble manifesting what you wish for. if in the sun, there will be great trouble and over-rationalisation of the personality to the point where shyness and anxiety becomes prominent issues
- 22° is a capricornus °; supposedly this is also a deadly degree, many calling it a “kill or be killed” °. this doesn’t manifest as actual death but it can certainly determine an absent father figure (whether the father figure died or is ill or just absent.) this placement is also regarded as a fame degree because it’s observed in a lot of celebrity birth charts. typically this placement brings a lot of struggle to the planet; think of saturn taking over the planet and controlling it. for example, if moon is in 22°, there will be great resistance with feelings and over-rationalisation. there will be a lot of loneliness and seclusion with this placement. however, it still breeds someone emotionally mature and capable of handling deep grief and turbulent emotions.
- 29° is a leo °; it is an anaretic °, and it is the conclusionary ° to any placement. this is a mature and well-versed placement but it can also breed a person who is erratic or unstable because there is a need to finish a mission with regards to the placement, and quickly so. if moon is in 29°, there is an urgency to feel deeply and to become so emotionally aware and deep. this manifests in emotional maturity. if in mercury or jupiter, there is an urgency to learn and know everything; to travel everywhere and speak to everyone; to gain knowledge in everything you do. this is a heavily radiant placement and is very strong in how it presents itself. whatever placement you have with this ° will be heavily felt by those around you, much like 0°.
with regards to your question, your leo in 29° will be more-or-less in its natural state, although you should take that statement with a grain of salt.
- leo is concerned with safety in the self. it is a vain and arrogant placement and can certainly breed someone ignorant and narcissistic. however, it’s an extreme manifestation of the sign, and is not all that legitimate. I would regard this placement as a very enlightening experience as this could help build a code of conduct for you that is built on strong morals and ideals. leo is concerned with perfection and is, again, vain; there is a strong need to establish the self around others. your presence is certainly strong and not easily missed. the urgency you would have with this placement would be to establish an identity within you and a high self-esteem also. you need confidence within you, you need recognition, and love.
many people have regarded this placement as a guaranteed fame degree, though I’ve never actually observed any birth charts nor have I observed enough of them to actually see that. either way, it’s not just another degree. there is massive growth in self-worth and relationships with this placement, though it will massively depend what context we are talking in; you could be talking about your moon being in 29°, or your DC, MC, or neptune, or literally anything. at face value, leo in 29° will go through many enlightening episodes of learning self-worth and developing a self-esteem that is strong and solid. we can explore some options below:
- leo sun in 29° — you will have many experiences that will revolve around your identity and will also have many identity crisis in which you struggle knowing who are vs. who you should be. there is great uncertainty in how you feel about yourself. your self-esteem will go through many ups and downs and you will struggle maintaining your self-esteem for long before feeling worthless again. you will have trouble knowing your true purpose in life but you may also have an unresting urge to do something and put your energy towards something. there is great fear in change and you may be very controlling and a perfectionist. still, you are very mature and you hold yourself well in front of others. you are unapologetically moralistic and have very strong personal boundaries, or at least try to. your ideals are very specific to you. you are wise in life, especially when it comes to personal relationships and building the self.
- leo mars in 29° — there is an exertion of boldness and confidence, but it can manifest as sloppiness. there is a heavy karmic duty of controlling your sex drive and becoming familiar with controlling your energy towards personal ambitions. you are wise and have strong personal boundaries and certainly don’t lack confidence or wisdom when it comes to getting what you want. however, you may feel as though you don’t really go for anything because you feel content not having something, or you only really ever chase something that builds your personal character. if you are a woman, you will experience and gain wisdom with men that are arrogant, petty, and bold.
- leo venus in 29° — there is a heavy maturity in this placement, though an urgency to love someone and to have a family with them. there is an urgency to find someone - the one - and to love them as much as possible. there is also an urgency to be recognised by others and to establish a healthy temple within you. you are mature and know what you want and are very specific on how you see relationships but struggle with many breakdowns surrounding love. to others, you have a very different way of thinking to others. you are bold, magnetic, and radiant in love. this placement may also bring many karmic partners around and there may be certain missions your soul must complete before moving on.
& I just think writing on ° is fun and educational because many people are interested in them. while they are not the final say on a placement, they can certainly help with a question you’re looking to answer!
