Since they will be in two different signs, whose energies and temperaments (how they play out) are not opposing each other, no, I wouldn't. It has nothing to do with degrees for me. It has everything to do with the energies and the temperaments for me - as explained in my earlier post. After all, it is not because of the 29th or 0 degree that the Sun is in detriment or feels uncomfortable in the cold and moist sign of Aquarius, where the fire of the Sun, which represents the ego - singular identity (I, me, mine) struggles to express it self properly. Aquarius is concerned with the expression of the group, thereby dissolving the singularity or ego. Where does the question of degree even arise here? This is why we say that the planet in a sign is coloured by the energy and element of that sign because the element, temperament and energy of the sign is very important to how a planet in that sign functions. Saturn in hot and dry Leo similarly cannot function properly because Leo is concerned about expressing itself uniquely - as if nobody compares to them - the ego is at the forefront, whilst Saturn, which is completely at the mental plane, feels uncomfortable with expressing itself singularly through its heart, putting in forefront its own identity. Saturn likes to stay 'cool' and act responsible. In Aquarius, it is concerned with taking responsibility of the group/ society.So, Aquarius7000, two planets in opposition but one at zero degrees and the other 29 degrees of two different signs, you would not consider an opposition ?
Now, if we were to go by the concept of oppositions being merely a "geometrical" concept, it would mean that the Sun at 29th or 0 degree of Aquarius would feel comfortable, even though it is in the exact opp. sign to its own domicile sign of Leo. However, that is not the case. Sun is uncomfortable in all degrees of Aquarius.
The best way to approach this is to understand first thoroughly the energies and elements of each sign. Then understand the nature of each planet, and then you will be able to comprehend why the planet of a certain nature has difficulty expressing itself in the opposite sign
