Episode 91: Anaretic Degrees

If a planet is found in the final degree of any sign, it’s considered anaretic. That means the sign would need to be in 29 degrees or 30 degrees of a sign. By the way, astrologers say 29 but it’s really the 30th degree – after all we start on 0 degrees, not 1 degree.

In some texts, this is also called the Fate Degree – it indicates the planets at this degree have reached a critical point – and there may be important issues to deal with. It’s also considered accidentally weak because it’s the “end of a cycle.” Therefore, the energy can feel urgent as if something needs to be done.

The affairs ruled by a planet in an anaretic degree become amplified, especially when a transiting planet or eclipse hit that planet. When that happens, you may feel anxious or urgent to deal with the issues associated with that planet. You defo don’t want to ignore it – because that can add an extra layer of frustration to the issue. That being said, decision-making may be hard when a transit hits the planet in the anaretic degree.
