15 Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are the Avatar signs. These degrees of the Fixed signs are supposed to bring ingenuity, coincidences, and happy accidents, which can appear supernatural at times. A person with a planet in the avatar degrees is frequently referred to as the “go-to person who gets things done.”

What do the degrees in a birth chart mean?
At a glance, here are the crucial degrees for the signs: 0, 13, and 26 degrees for the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). 8-9 and 21-22 degrees for fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius). 4 and 17 degrees for mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).
In astrology, what does 1 degree mean?
As I previously stated, the Sun completes its transit over one zodiac sign in one month (30 days). In 30 days, the Sun will have completed 30 degrees of the zodiac sign. It will cover 1 degree per day, in other words. So, if someone is born on April 19th, the Sun will be at 5 degrees Aries.
Fortuna
Fortuna is the Roman goddess of fortune and fate, and she is represented in the celestial chart by asteroid number 19. The wheel of fortune is represented by Fortuna.
Because Fortuna is the one who spins the wheel of fortune, she determines whether a person’s luck will be good, terrible, or a mix of both. Fortuna represents the old adage “what goes around comes around,” and she demonstrates how we can be high one minute and down the next.
Our Fortuna sign also reveals how we perceive good fortune and fate in general, as well as where we may experience the highs and lows of prosperity.
Degrees Cancer
The Millionaire degree is most commonly associated with wealth derived from inheritance, family business, or real estate.
Look for a money planet, such as Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, or Pluto, at 29 degrees Cancer in your astrology chart.
In astrology, what are sensitive degrees?
The following are the traditional critical degrees:
The cardinal signs are 0, 13, and 26 degrees (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn)
These are considered sensitive areas that can also serve as a source of power. If a natal planet is detected at a crucial degree, it is assumed that the planet will be emphasized and will have more power in the native’s life as a result of its placement.
0 and 29 degrees of any sign are also considered important degrees by many astrologers. Especially in prediction work, the 0 and 29 degrees are more crisis-oriented locations.
NOTE: The 29th Degree (also known as the Anaretic degree) is a phrase used by astrologers, however it is really the 30th degree. It actually refers to a planet or body that is between the coordinates 2900’00 and 2959’59.
If a natal planet is detected at 29 degrees of any sign, often known as the Anaretic degree, it can cause serious problems with decision-making in the area of the personality represented by the planet’s energies. One day, the native may assess and reassess things before acting, and the next, he or she may leap into action without listening to himself or herself! If Mars is at 29 degrees, for example, the native may design numerous plans of action, obsess over the various actions and routes to follow, and then adopt a spontaneous action that contradicts the decision!
I know a woman with a Juno of 29 degrees who, despite her many theories about taking relationships seriously, jumps right into them. A man with 29 degrees of Mercury agonizes over life decisions and alternates between saying too much and saying too little.
The 29th degree is linked to a sense of urgency, as well as decision-making issues, vacillation, and diving into situations without thinking. It’s the zodiac sign’s final degree, and there can be a tremendous sense of urgency surrounding the sign’s qualities and affiliations. There can also be a general weakness in this areait can be a source of poor decisions, difficulty, crisis, or overcompensation.
While the typical crucial degrees above are supposed to provide the planet or body more strength, the anaretic degree is thought to be more damaging.
When the Sun enters the 29th degree in a progression, for example, the native’s year can be crisis-oriented. When the Sun enters Libra at 29 degrees, for example, a sense of urgency and crisis might arise in partnerships. Divorce or a hasty entry into a new relationship could be the outcome of this desperation. A major shift in work could occur if the Sun moves to 29 degrees Virgo. In general, decisions made during the 29th degree are quick.
We meet more Anaretic degrees of the Moon than we do with other planets and luminaries because the advanced Moon moves the fastest of the planets. Every 28 years, the secondary progressed Moon completes a full circle of the chart and the signs, so we see 12 Anaretic degrees of progressed Moon in a 28-year period (every 2-1/2 years or so).
When I was counseling a parent of a university student, I observed that her daughter’s advanced Moon was transiting the ninth house at 29 degrees. Uranus was also transiting her daughter’s ninth house, converging on her Sun. I advised the parent to keep a close eye on her daughter at this time since she might be tempted to make drastic, rash changes in her field of study or even drop out entirely. Despite her parents’ advice, the daughter did drop out of university and take a job. She later regretted dropping out and returned to university to complete her degree.
Carol Rushman makes a compelling case for the importance of critical degrees, including the classic ones mentioned at the top of this article, in predictive work using the progressed Moon in her book The Art of Predictive Astrology: Forcasting Your Life Events.
In astrology, what does 14 degrees mean?
In natal charts and forecasting, the middle degrees are important. When a planet is situated between 14 and 16 degrees of a sign, it looks to be fully immersed in the sign’s raison d’tre.
In astrology, what does 23 degrees mean?
If you have any planets in the Zodiac between 22 and 24, you should be aware that Mars is concentrating a lot of energy in this small area. Uranus, the planet of electricity, surprise, and lighting, is at 23 Aries, and this is the degree where Mars is due to station in the coming weeks, so 23 is extremely engaged.
Mars is the planet of violent action retrograde; he acts in a different way, but the effects can be just as disastrous. This week, we’ve seen two powerful examples of this in the headlines. In her birth chart, Jo Cox, the MP who was murdered in the street yesterday, had Chiron (wound) at 23 Aries, which was squarely opposite Uranus (shock) at 23 Libra. Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, has his Sun at 24 Scorpio and Mars at 23 Aquarius (community).
Meatloaf, the artist who collapsed on stage yesterday, has transiting Mars Rx on his Jupiter (24 Scorpio), the planet of excess, which is at the top of his horoscope (in the public eye or “on stage).
There is also a lot of force in conceding during a Mars Rx. Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the presidential race in favor of Hillary Clinton, but by doing so, he is advancing his cause. In his natal chart, he has Mars Rx at 23 Aries, opposite Venus at 22 Libra. He’s a capable companion. Senator Elizabeth Warren, the left’s fantasy candidate who could be nominated by Clinton for Veep, also has her North Node on 23 Aries. And what about Hillary Clinton? South Node at 23 Scorpio: this is a turning point for her. She will, however, need to change course and acknowledge Sanders and Warren.
****Correction: Bernie Sanders has not abandoned his presidential campaign. It’s more that Clinton has strengthened her lead. (As of June 20.) What is certain is that his contribution to the debate is far from over. Right now, he must refocus; becoming President may be less crucial than guaranteeing actual change.*****
Chris Murphy, the US Senator who filibustered for 14 hours this week to create place for anti-gun legislation, has Mercury (communications) at 23 Cancer, which is in an easy trine to Mars Rx. His message was designed to safeguard his country and his country’s children, both of whom are cancer victims.
At 24, Mars is travelling rearward through Scorpio at a very slow pace. Mars will reach 23 in a few days, then station here and turn straight on June 30. Mars, on the other hand, will remain on the 23rd until July 11th. When Mars goes direct in Scorpio, his own sign, a lot of energy could be released.
Uranus, the planet of explosions, surprises, and energy, is in 23 Aries at the same moment (Mrs Cox was having her Uranus Half-Return). Ceres, the nurturing asteroid, will soon join Uranus in this constellation for the last week of June.
Mars Rx is trining Chiron (25) from Pisces, a sobbing sign. There are a lot of tears being shed right now.
The Full Moon at the Solstice is expected to be particularly powerful. At sunset, both the Sun and the Moon will be visible in the sky, regardless of communication polarity (29 Gemini-Sagittarius). This may herald a war of words (which we all know is already underway), but it also signals that now is the time for communication and discussion, as well as exchanging ideas, listening, and gathering information. It’s possible that the action will go horribly wrong.
If you have a planet in Cancer or Pisces at 23 degrees, you have an easy way to bring that transforming energy forth. The energy is more dynamic when you have anything at 23 Fixed or Cardinal.
What is the best degree for planets?
The majority of planets should be in this degree group since it has a good mix of experience and energy. Planets between 25 and 29.59 degrees – These are the wise and old folks we need in our lives. These are the planets that, through aspect or conjunction, guide the planets in lower degrees.
To what extent is Jupiter exalted?
Each of the seven traditional planets has one zodiac sign in which it is exalted.
The following are the available positions:
- Sun: Aries 19th degree (i.e., 1800′ 1859′)
- The Moon is in Taurus at the 3rd degree.
- Mercury is in the 15th degree of the zodiac sign of Virgo.
- Venus is in Pisces at 27 degrees.
- Mars is located in the 28th degree of Capricorn.
- Jupiter is located at the 15th degree of Cancer.
- Saturn is in Libra at the 21st degree.
The north node (3rd degree of Gemini) and the south node have also been linked to exaltations (3rd degree of Sagittarius). Early medieval Arabic astrological writings, including as al-11th-century Biruni’s Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology, list these placements. While modern Vedic astrologers value the nodes’ exaltation locations, the western astrological tradition passed down via medieval Europe shows little evidence of their use in practice, both historically and today. In contrast to the Greeks and Persians, Al-Biruni points out that Hindu astrologers of his time disputed on the degree placements of the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn, and did not accept the node exaltations – a principle he regarded as “very proper.”
Exaltations are one of the oldest and most widely used astrological components.
They have been utilized in ancient Mesopotamian astrology since before the zodiac was known to exist (using reference to constellation positions which shows correspondence with those later attributed to zodiac degrees). According to Francesca Rochberg, the system’s roots may date back to the second millennium BCE, as it is found in the Enuma anu enlil tradition. Joanne Conman argues that the ancient Egyptians revered specific decan stars in the Middle Kingdom. The “places of secret” mentioned by Rochberg in later Babylonian astrological texts appear to be derived from the Coffin Texts, as do the corresponding planetary exaltations or hypsomata in Hellenistic astrology. Attested Babylonian astrological texts predate the coffin texts. Four of the planets’ exaltation patterns coincide and appear to account for the pattern of the honored decans.
Western astrologers are baffled as to why the Babylonians thought these positions were dignified. Although many theories have been proposed over the ages, there are still anomalies that are practically impossible to explain with any consistency, such as the exaltation of energetic Mars in chilly Capricorn, as Robert Hand has pointed out. The planets all rose heliacally at these degrees in the year of the creation of an important temple to the Babylonian god Nabu in the year 786 BC, according to Western sidereal astrologer Cyril Fagan, although this is still hypothetical.
Since aspects were commonly recognized from sign to sign in Hellenistic astrology, it’s unclear whether a planet’s distance from the exact degree of exaltation had much impact.
However, ancient astrologers employed the degree itself; for example, the Hellenistic Lot of Exaltation formula used the exact degree of exaltation of each of the luminaries (the Sun and Moon).
Later Medieval astrology, influenced by the Arab and Byzantine, favored a hierarchy of the five vital dignities, with the domicile ruler being the most important, followed by exaltation in importance.
Each dignity in the hierarchy was assigned numerical values by medieval astrologers, which were tallied to provide an approximate statistical manner of comparison (see Essential dignity.)
Astrologers continue to utilize these weighted appraisals today.
Following the discovery of the three outer planetsUranus, Neptune, and Plutoastrologers theorized about the planets’ putative domicile and exaltation rulerships.
For example, it was believed that Neptune was the “real” domicile ruler of Pisces, so usurping one of Jupiter’s two domicile rulerships. It’s impossible to include new, undiscovered planets in standard procedures since the old system was intricate and symmetrical, leaving no room for them. As a result, most modern astrologers have given up trying to assign exaltations to these newer planets.
The concept of exaltation in traditional Hindu astrology was based mostly on the celestial constellations, also known as Nakshatras, in which the planet was located. In the Sidereal Zodiac, there are 27 Nakshatras. Taking 360/27 yields an exact arc of 13 20 per Nakshatra, keeping in mind that 60 equals 1. Although Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, there are three Nakshatras within the 30 arc of Cancer that Jupiter might occupy: Punarvasu (2000 Gemini to 320 Cancer), Pushya (320 to 1640 Cancer), and Ashlesha (2000 Gemini to 1640 Cancer) (1640 to 2959 Cancer). Jupiter’s actual exaltation in Pushya Nakshatra is indicated by his exaltation at 5 Cancer. Bhaspati, the Gods’ instructor, is Pushya’s Nakshatra Devata. Although Jupiter is still exalted in the sign of Cancer, he will not deliver his full exaltation benefits when he is situated in a Nakshatra other than Pushya. Furthermore, each Nakshatra is divided into four portions, also known as pda, which results in a precise arc of 320 per pda when 1320/4 is used. The four pda stand for Dharma, Artha, Kma, and Moka, which are the four purposes of life according to Vedic tradition. Although Jupiter is strongly exalted in Pushya, Jupiter might be in one of four pda inside the 1320 arc of Pushya: Dharma pda (320-640 Cancer), Artha pda (640-1000 Cancer), Kma pda (1000-1320 Cancer), and Moka pda (1000-1320 Cancer) (1320-1640 Cancer). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer at 5 degrees. This denotes “deep” exaltation in the core of the Dharma pda of Pushya Nakshatra in the sign of Cancer, which explains Jupiter’s exaltation degree astronomically. When Jupiter is in Cancer (which represents the heart), and is influenced by Bhaspati (the Gods’ teacher), and is driven toward righteous behavior (Dharma pda), Jupiter is operating in 100 percent exaltation, in terms of all Jupiter represents.
How can you tell if you’ll be wealthy based on astrology?
The Sun and Jupiter are wealth indicators. So, in order to be affluent, both Jupiter and the Sun must be well placed in the horoscope.
Gajkesari Yoga, which combines the Moon and Jupiter, is a prosperous yoga that makes a person rich and affluent if he possesses it. The presence of the Moon and Venus in the 5th house also signifies that the person will be affluent.
According to vedic astrology, if Mars is in the 4th house, the Sun is in the 5th house, or Jupiter is in the 11th or 5th house, revenues will come from ancestral possessions, crops, or construction.
If Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon are all in Cancer for a Cancer rashi native, he will become extremely wealthy via his work and divine grace.
If Jupiter, Venus, Moon, Mercury or Sun, Rahu, Mars, Saturn are in the quadrant or trinal houses, the native will become extremely wealthy during the dasas of Rahu/Mercury/Saturn/Venus.
Jupiter in Cancer, Sagittarius, or Pisces, with the 5th lord in the 10th house, implies that the person becomes wealthy through his or her children.
