My BIL has AscCap00° Sun28°Ari Mar00°Gem Moo00°Lib Jup01°Sco Nep00°Sag he’s an incredibly talented iron welding artist, a walking talking encyclopedia of seemingly channeled detailed knowledge about anything and everything, yet he’s a bit of a Peter Pan lost boy.. ripped holes in clothes dirty hands and face.. it’s pretty fascinating. Working all the time on making things, falls asleep in chair. I’ve seen a tractor roll over while he was in it, etc..

[@miasmatik]

Ahhh ive been waiting for this topic. For some reason the anaretic are a big symbol/constant synch in my life and I've been waiting to hear you talk about them (both me and my partner have a 29° asc and I run into it everywhere )

[@maureenmcmahon201]

I have a friend whose sun is at 29 degrees 54 of Pisces. He comes across very much as an Aries but he is technically described as a Pisces.

[@rosehelia7178]

Interesting.

[@stephanieweiss471]

I'm curious about the last degree of Leo specifically. My son has an exact 29 degree grand fire trine between his sun in Leo, moon in Aries, and Pluto in Sagittarius. He's an intense kid and a force for sure! Extremely light soul and lucky too. But he has some tough squares and I think in this life he is dealing with managing intensity of his emotions.... I look to that trine energy as his ticket to figuring it out, especially with pluto there. But meanwhile from my mom standpoint I'm working on understanding the degrees of Leo energy better

[@DjLatral]

The 29th degree of Leo is associated with Regulus, which is said to signify honor and is the root of the word regal

[@bugajt]

Thank you both for this one! In my birthchart three inner planets are located retrograding in late degrees of consecutive houses. Do you have any insight on late degree retrograding planets? Similar to your words of the nodes ingressing?

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Great question! Will try to cover this in a future video. You can also email [e-mail] for more detailed answers.

[@vanessagillettceramiques9523]

On the day, hour and minute I be born, the Sun in ♋ 🦀 was 29'59 degree lol 😆...😳 influenced by Saturn again? Is there a book that 🤔 is informative on degree symbology and planetry influences? Thank you.

[@joannabarcikowska6409]

I have combination of highest degree. Where I can buy some book to course about it to learn? Im fascinating to dive deep into message in my chart

[@Cmrntylr]

I was actually looking for an astrology podcast on degrees so I looked only to find I just listened to the one linked which is what made me look into degrees to begin with; figured I’d share that humorous brain hiccup story. I had a funny synchronicity pointing at Jupiter (to look closer at it in natal) which has been entertaining and not so because Jupiter is one of my least favorite planets. Jupiter in cancer 11th at 26 degrees. I was looking at profections looking for patterns where there’s obviously many while some events setting a theme happen months earlier, I set a transit time up to a 11th house year by another date of a 3rd house where the 11th house profection mixed with transits are.. sort of.. 😳. I try to avoid predictive astrology in those ways. I also prefer to shift birth times holding multiple placements which slightly alters degrees where I’d personally prefer to not use them unless nothing moves by much. I was born cesarean and I’ve found typos my birth certificate. Anyways, focusing on one planet that’s beautifully placed to figure out what’s up with it has been quite informative. So far the funniest thing related to degrees is if you looked at an overall theme of chart, match that with social climate with extremist views which are inflated now, see a potential for large growth with a midheaven at 22 degrees gemini.. 22 degrees was an interesting astro theory.

[@kstar313]

When I was born the Moon was at 00°21’ Pisces in 10th and just the other night my 19 year old daughter told me my personality often expresses as naive.

[@graylunsford]

Insightful discussion, as always! At your convenience if you would discuss the concept of planetary location being best “oriental to the Sun and occidental to the moon.” (Jean Baptist’s Morin by way of Demeter George) I can picture that state occurring twice: during day if both lights are above the AC/DC horizon and during night if both lights are below the AC/DC. Am I seeing this clearly? How/why would those states be more generally benefic? THANKS for all your thoughtful discussion!

[@graylunsford]

ugh. auto spelling mishaps: Baptiste Morin and Demetra!

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Great question! Will try to cover this in a future video. You can also email [e-mail] for more detailed answers.

[@ionamcbrid]

Do you ever use the nakshatras for your own personal understanding?

[@MarvelGirl100]

WHAT ARE THE CRITICAL DEGREES WHEN IT COMES TO ASTROLOGY? JULY 27 2020.

[@TheSusustudio]

Hi there, quick question to clarify: do you always round up to the next degree, for example, the exalted degree in Aries is 18-degrees but it's 19th? Or if a planet is 0-degrees, it's automatically 1 or does the minutes factor into it, like you round up after 30-minutes within a degree? Thank you!

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

No, this is just something left over from the original texts - always go by the exact degree (and minutes) if possible!

[@TheSusustudio]

@@Adam-Elenbaas Thank you! Follow up question: I'm not sure if you've heard of this book "Inside Degrees: Developing Your Soul Bio Using the Chandra Symbols" by Ellias Lonsdale, but I was told by a different astrologer to always "round up" to the next degree. But that seemed like a blanket statement. Like, if the Sun is in Aries 18-degrees and 3 minutes, it's closer to 18 than 19. So would you advise to read both 18/19 in a text like this? Thank you!

[@allisonsaupe]

Sorry to clarify thought I heard you say toward the beginning that minutes are not taken or figured literally? But, so then are actual minutes not used as timing measurement of the degrees?, (60 per degree). Thank you!

[@allisonsaupe]

Guessing you say not literal because the degrees may vary in the timing, depending which point in the zodiac is being considered. Still learning though, thanks again for videos and feedback.

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Correct - for example, it doesn't take 60 minutes (in clock time) for each planet to move one degree. It takes just over 24 hours for the Sun to move 1 degree, so each of those 60 "minutes" for the Sun is equivalent to around half an hour of clock time. It varies for each planet. Hope that's clear!

[@allisonsaupe]

@@Adam-Elenbaas that does help. Planets travel different rates... Learning a lot but have to take my time with all the complexity involved. Grateful to you, blessings... 🌞

[@April-lp7pp]

I was born with Pluto in Libra 29° 31’ R what does this mean for me please?

[@roadopener]

It means you will be famous and rich and probably rule the world

[@MahmoudSolimanAlsharqawy]

I have Saturn conjunct Leo Full-Moon in the same degree °28.44♌ 5th house. & Mars♂️R @ 29° Cancer♋ 4th house Opposing my Sun-Venus conjunction @ 6°-7° Aquarius♒ last 2degrees of the 10th house. & Lilith @ °0 Cancer♋ & Jupiter R @ 28° Gemini♊ 3rd house.

[@MahmoudSolimanAlsharqawy]

& Saturn was also in Retrograde.

[@MahmoudSolimanAlsharqawy]

& My Asc is @ 21°.20'.57" Aries♈ So Mars♂️ as retrograde as it was is actually my chart ruler & that means I have a Retrograded-Asc !!!

[@MahmoudSolimanAlsharqawy]

& I'm just really grateful for your inclusive efforts in all that you share with the whole world🌍 Blessings & Prosperity🌻 to you & to yours💞 🙏

[@ionamcbrid]

What if you have a retrograde planet at a late degree?

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Great question! Will try to cover this in a future video. You can also email [e-mail] for more detailed answers.

[@ionamcbrid]

Acyuta-bhava Dasa thank you 🙏 I hope to see this in is a video at some point. I’m taking your year 1 natal course so maybe this will be covered at a later stage 😊

[@moonzoulmagic8324]

Can anyone weigh in on something another astrologer said, that having 3 planets at 0 degrees makes one an ascended master? That doesn't feel right to me, but I have a friend who is pretty happy about hearing that. :)

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

File that in the ascended bs folder ;)

[@moonzoulmagic8324]

Acyuta-bhava Dasa 😂 thank you!

[@amydiazhollis6642]

I have several planets at critical degrees

[@amydiazhollis6642]

Like my Asc. Is at 26 degrees Capricorn and my Jupiter sits just below that but still in Cap. My Neptune is 2 degrees Cap and I have Mercury also sitting right on my Asc.

[@amydiazhollis6642]

I have also had a lot of death in my life

[@christiecollins8296]

My part of fortune is 19 degrees of Scorpio - which is the worst degree in the zodiac (body in the ditch degree!)- not good!! 😱 ... xx

[@roadopener]

Meh... my Mars is there and it kicks ass... maybe other people’s bodies in the ditch

[@vanessagillettceramiques9523]

Hello 👋 Where did you find that source information? Thank you 😊

[@christiecollins8296]

vanessa gillett céramiques ..... I can’t remember the exact website; but It definitely was not a modern take on astrology. If you google planetary degrees and scroll past the top stuff, you will find some good information from more traditional astrologers. It can be a bit scary though xx

[@ewadsworth]

🤣😭 i'm at 20 (pof♏)

[@christiecollins8296]

e wadsworth ..... My Moons 20 Scorpio .... Most of the degrees in Scorpio appear negative but if does depend on who you listen to..... and there are always mitigating factors that can balance everything out! - xx
