0, 13, and 26 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn)
8-9 and 21-22 degrees of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius); and
These are considered sensitive, and sometimes strengthening, points. If a natal planet is
found in a critical degree, that planet is thought to be emphasized and to assume more
power in the life of the native due to its placement.
Many astrologers consider 0 and 29 degrees of any sign critical degrees as well. The 0
and 29 degrees are more crisis-oriented points, especially in predictive work.

7/29/2019 Critical Degrees and the 29th Degree (Anaretic) in Astrology

NOTE: While the 29th Degree is a term used by astrologers (it’s also known as the
Anaretic degree), technically it’s the 30th degree. It actually refers to a planet or body
positioned anywhere from 29°00’00” to 29°59’59”.
If a natal planet is found at 29 degrees of any sign, also known as the Anaretic
degree, there can be some real issues with decision-making in that part of the
personality represented by the energies of the planet. The native may evaluate and re-
evaluate situations before making a move one day, and the next day, jump into the
action without listening to himself or herself! For example, if Mars is at 29 degrees, the
native may devise many plans of actions, worry excessively about the possible actions
and different routes to take, and then execute a spontaneous action that is contrary to
the decision!
I know a woman whose Juno is at 29 degrees, and despite the fact that she has many
theories about taking relationships seriously, jumps into them quickly. A man with 29
degrees of Mercury agonizes over decisions in his life and vacillates between talking too
much and too little.
Besides decision-making problems, vacillation, and jumping into situations blindly, the
29th degree is also associated with a sense of urgency. It’s the last degree of the zodiac
sign, and there can be a real sense of urgency surrounding the characteristics and
associations of the particular sign. There can also be a general weakness in this area – it
can be a point of poor choices, difficulties, crisis, or overcompensation.
While the classic critical degrees above are thought to give added strength to the planet
or body, the anaretic degree is more of a debilitating position.
In progressions, when, for example, the Sun enters the 29th degree, the native’s year
can be crisis-oriented. If the Sun progresses to 29 degrees of Libra, for example, the
sense of urgency and crisis can surround relationships. Divorce or jumping into a new

In her book, The Art of Predictive Astrology: Forcasting Your Life Events, Carol
Rushman puts forth a compelling case for the importance of critical degrees, including
