Part 3: Degrees in astrology

Not a lot of people know that there are degrees in astrology, especially if it's someone who just started learning it. On the other side a lot of people tend to struggle with remembering all of the degrees. Here is how I managed to remember all of them along with some observations of specific degrees or things that people have said about them. But first knowing what sign corresponds to a specific degree is important. Here is easy way to learn them:

1° - Aries

2° - Taurus

3° - Gemini

4° - Cancer

5° - Leo

6° - Virgo

7° - Libra

8° - Scorpio

9° - Sagittarius

10° - Capricorn

11° - Aquarius

12° - Pisces

13° - Aries

14° - Taurus

15° - Gemini

16° - Cancer

17° - Leo

18° - Virgo

19° - Libra

20° - Scorpio

21° - Sagittarius

22° - Capricorn

23° - Aquarius

24° - Pisces

25° - Aries

26° - Taurus

27° - Gemini

28° - Cancer

29° - Leo

Something we see is that from 1° to 12° it corresponds to the zodiac signs in order and from 13° to 24° it repeats in the same original order and then it starts to repeat again from Aries aka the 25th degrees. These degrees give the qualities of the specific sign to the planet/house they are on, they add more to it. There is also the 0°. This one shows the purestaw energy/form of the sign/planet it is on, something new.

Interesting observations/things people have noticed about degrees:

- People who have the 5°, 17° and/or 29° are more likely to be well known for something and famous because it's a Leo degree.

- People with the 28th degree are likely to make a household name for themselves.

- 2° in a natal chart can be indicator of artistic talent in the chart.

- the 22nd degree is known as the kill or be killed degree. Of course it doesn't mean that you will necessarily be killed or something like that. It's a Capricorn degree.

- ascendant(aka rising sign, especially Taurus risings) that is on a Leo degree (5°, 17° and 29°) tend to have big and fluffy hair. It's a similar situation with the sun and moon signs. 5° being short term while 29° being long term fame.

- another indicator of artistic talent can be having moon on 2°.

- the 11th degree can indicate internet/online fame, it can be similar to the 29th degree.

- people who have Venus in a Leo or Capricorn degree tend to be attracted to people who have achieved or want to achieve a lot in their life.

- having Leo or Scorpio degree on the MC can mean that people try to earn your approval when they want to work alongside with you.

- Venus in a Cancer degree can make a person very soft when it comes to relationships, towards their partner no matter what other placements that person has.

- Mercury in Virgo or Pisces degree tend to think a lot but say a little.

- Usually good journalists, writers, teachers have personal planets on 3°, 15° and 27°.

- 9° is a luck/success degree because it corresponds to the sign of Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter.

- People with Pieces degrees tend to be spiritual/good at manifesting things, especially if it's on personal planets.

- Leo degree on your Mercury can make your voice outstanding in some way, people tend to listen to what you have to say, give you attention or in some cases even stage.
