Mysterious "29"

I am trying to understand this degree, since it is scaring me in my chart.
I'm not able to interpret it in my chart, so I hope you can help.



Planets found in degrees 20 to 29 degrees are the spiritual degrees and relate to the spirit.

Degrees "20" and "29" are the most powerful, with "29" relating to the pinnacle of spiritual attunement. Many people with this degree potent in their chart are psychically gifted.

Degrees "0" and "29" are thought to be "critical". The extreme spiritual sensitivity of "29" can make it hard for the subject to adapt to earthly conditions, whereas a "0" is just beginning to adapt. People with planets at "29" degrees rarely lead mundane lives. Trauma often besets them, creating escapism in many forms and especially accidents and suicide; but those who use their gifts positively are able to reach iconic states within their chosen field.

29th degree of any sign is known as the finger of fate. Planets and house cusps which occupy anarectic degrees indicate fundamental issues with which one must deal.



In the Degree of the Nodes refers to any planet or significant point that falls in the same degree of the lunar nodes in any sign. It must be the very same degree, not one higher or lower to come within one degree but actually in that same degree, regardless of the number of minutes. This shows a fated appointment or fateful event, possibly some sort of catastrophe. This indicator has been used mainly in Horary Astrology and if such a condition exists, it means the situation is out of the hands of the Querent.

The Nodes show where eclipses are occurring and eclipses are powerful New or Full Moons (lunations) associated with major events, sometimes catastrophic in proportion, especially total eclipses where the Sun and Moon are nearest the node, thus the origin of this interpretation technique. A planet in the degree of the nodes takes on the excitability of the North Node as well as some of the malefic influence of the South Node. The South Node is associated with a sacrifice or an obligation.

Highly respected astrologer Ivy Jacobson says that, "Any planet or angle in the same degree as the Nodes points to a catastrophe, casualty, fatality or tragedy in a horary or natal chart, the more far-reaching when a malefic is involved." In The Way of Astrology, she further notes that during the year that a progressed angle lines up with a natal or progressed node, there will be some tragedy in the life. I have likewise found this to be quite a reliable prediction tool, however in my experience the term “tragic” is something of an overstatement unless there is substantial back up from other indicators that also points to a tragedy. More commonly, the unpleasant experiences in the life during these years are along the lines of accidents, health problems or surgeries, loosing a job, bad credit, divorce and various “catastrophes” and regrettable situations that often occur as a result of previous poor judgment. One does get through the period but it is more difficult and longer lasting if the progressed angle comes first to the progressed node, soon followed by the angular alignment with the natal node.*



I have my north node at 29 degrees in aries conjunct sun in taurus (2 degrees) in 9th house.
Both sun and North Node are squaring my Part Of Fortune at 29 degrees in capricorn in sixth house.

Is there a need to worry?

The following might prove useful. It is list of the Sabian Symbols for the 29th degree of each of the twelve signs. Others are more qualified to comment about critical degrees and where they fall in your chart and what that all means.

Aries 30: A duck pond and its brood
Taurus 30: A peacock parading on an ancient lawn
Gemini 30: Bathing beauties
Cancer 30: A Daughter of the American Revolution
Leo 30: An unsealed letter
Virgo 30: A false call unheard in attention to immediate service
Libra 30: Three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head
Scorpio 30: The Halloween jester
Sagittarius 30: The Pope
Capricorn 30: A secret business conference
Aquarius 30: The field of Ardath in bloom
Pisces 30: The Great Stone Face

I was actually trying to interpret it in sixth house/ninth house, capricorn/aries matters. Because I don't use the sabian symbol thing.

My thoughts were these:

In the best possible way:
I want to become writer, so sixth house and capricorn fits with my aspirations, since my daily routine and work (~6th house matters) is going to be based on writing (~capricorn) and since that's going to be my happiness (POF).
Square to Sun/north node means that I have to try my best and must work very disciplined if I want to become a writer (sun conjunct north node in ninth house).

BUT what bothers me, and that's why I opened this thread, the NN at 29 degrees AND the fact that I have POF in the same degree, is somehow not promising...

Could I be totally wrong with my interpretation and could I for example get some disease or something, since sixth house is also about health.

Well I must say, this scares me a lot, because Pluto transit is not that far away anymore to my part of fortune (well, conjunction in 2022 actually, so when I am 35 years old)

The good thing for NOW is: I have Jupiter/Lilith transiting my north node and sun....
So I can expect anything now, that will affect the 29 degrees.. Is it?

29th Degree

Also known as the Anaretic Degree, defective vision is noted with this degree. It’s the weakest point in the sign it represents; tired and often showing more of the next sign than the sign it’s in. The planet and house placement is always getting ready to make a change and the 29th degree adds a decision-making complication to the house. Able to see both sides of an issue, there is oscillation between one view and the other and a struggle to make any decision at all. Decisions are put off or there is a continuous re-evaluation due to new information. At the end of his rope, the individual may make a quick decision, simply to do something, but this takes on the characteristic of Too Much or Too Little. Metaphorically, he may dive into the pool before checking to see if it has water.*

A placement of a planet in the 29th degree in a house automatically makes the ability to manifest the characteristics of that house structure more fuzzy, and the interaction with the people of that house more vague and less decisive. Sun in the 29th degree often causes a major career change in mid life. This position can slow down career success because of poor decision-making skills. Women with their Sun in a 29th degree have a tendency to marry men who are ineffectual in some way:*trouble keeping a job, born followers, too passive, emotional problems.*Again this is related to the concept of poor decision-making (both on the part of the woman and on the part of the husband).

A 29th degree in a progressed chart often stimulates the characteristics, either positive or negative of the relationship, and a last fling jump for the characteristics of the sign, in the house that it is in. Saturn in 29th Capricorn is the degree of the workaholic. The individual can’t seem to get enough hard work. But s/he runs into obstacles in getting it, and often vacillates between working to death, and no work.
Thanks to Eric Uberseder (Zarathu) for his contribution and permission to post this edited excerpt from his article, .Let’s Give it the 29th Degree. There is no longer a link to his full length article.

Note: The 29th degree takes a measure of its reputation from the fixed star group called the Pleiades in the final degree of Taurus.*

Ok. I assumed that since this was posted to a Degree Symbols forum where we mostly discuss the Sabian Symbols then you wanted some perspective in that vein.

What are you guys worried about? I've got Saturn at 29.5 Libra, loosely conjunct Pluto (27.2 Libra), and you don't see me worried. :lol:

PHASE 210 (LIBRA 30°): THREE MOUNDS OF KNOWLEDGE ON A PHILOSOPHER'S HEAD.

KEYNOTE: The fulfillment of man's power of understanding at whatever level of existence the person operates.

A true philosopher is a man who is able to "understand," not merely "know," the processes of life as he comes to experience them directly. He is the man of wisdom, different indeed from the man of science; for while there must be knowledge before understanding, knowledge alone can be both barren and destructive of wisdom. This peculiar symbol refers of course to "phrenology," which is usually considered a pseudo-science, but may provide significant indications. Number 3 always indicates a state of completion. The symbol implies a fulfillment of philosophical understanding, which obviously has nothing to do with academic degrees or the writing of successful treatises on abstract concepts.

This fifth stage symbol is the last of the Libra series: Understanding and wisdom develop in terms of the life of community and through experiences provided by interpersonal and group relationships. Cultural factors are always involved, even though true wisdom transcends cultural values and is rooted in the essential nature of Man. What is at stake here is A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE, based on universals.

dv.harsh: I've never found the critical degrees to be all that important, but that may be because of my relatively loose interpretation style. Their function (as far as I am aware) is to indicate which planetary forces will likely outweigh which other planetary forces. In the end, however, all planetary forces are expressed in real life. The critical degrees seek to determine a little more of how they will be expressed.

As to the 30th (29.1) degree of Scorpio:
PHASE 240 (SCORPIO 30°): CHILDREN IN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES INDULGE IN VARIOUS PRANKS.

KEYNOTE: The periodic outlets society furnishes within traditional limits to still-immature energies.

In the symbol for the first degree of Scorpio we see individuals beginning to be involved in the collective life of a large city. This leads them to a great diversity of experience which stimulates their sense of belonging to a vaster whole; or it may stimulate their rebellious instincts. Some of the latter in most cases cannot be completely overcome, but society has built in several ways of allowing them to operate under ritualistic procedures that are sufficiently safe to the collectivity. Wherever this symbol is found, the need for such outlets is shown to exist. But the rules of the game have to be obeyed.

This is the last symbol referring to Scene Sixteen of the great ritual of cyclic being. It tells us that in any feeling experience of collective living and inter-human relationships one has to deal with unregenerated and centrifugal elements. These should be carefully managed. They can also be controlled by the power of mind – the Sagitarrian way. The symbol points to an imaginative RELIEF FROM TENSION.


Note that this information only applies to your Saturn placement. The Sun, Moon, ASC, and MC should be examined with Sabian symbols before the Saturn placement.
