crimsoncurrentWeak or Powerful Degrees?
Pat Geisler analyses the weakening influence of a planet at the 29th degree in the Plain Vanilla Astrologer. This critical degree, according to the author, could indicate health issues, financial difficulties, mental instability, being unmarried (Sun), poor parenting skills, hampered emotional development, childbearing difficulties (Moon), losing interest in sex, actively disliking music (Venus), and so on.
What I think it means is that such people have major shifts that happen in their lifetimes in the areas ruled by those planets in those last degrees. I think the 29th degree always points to an element of difficulty. The 29th degree is a degree of being “worn out” or sometimes shows a planet there lacking in ability to manifest smoothly. It can show difficulties in functioning in the normal way. There can be dramatic climbs to the top and sudden falls. It’s as if the 29th degree is the straw of the old and the individual looks forward to the new sign and planets which often express something new from the oncoming sign far more openly than the previous one. Let’s start with the Sun. In a man’s chart it is his identity, his career and his health. The 29th degree shows at some point there will be a major decision which will alter his career path. It will not be merely a new job but a whole new direction and an actual change of career. It may also imply poor decision making. Or poor timing. It’s a good idea to think of the beginning of the sign as the strongest area of it – or the place where its qualities manifest the most purely. Any planet at the 29th degree in my opinion acts weakly in terms of the sign’s qualities and presents the chart with a fuzzy image of that area of life or the people it represents. Example: Women with Suns in 29 degrees plus minutes often marry men who mean well but who are – in some way – somewhat ineffectual. They may have trouble keeping a good job, or their parenting skills are non existent, or they are born followers, or too passive, or have emotional problems or something. Maybe they just can’t manage money and screw up the budget until you take it away from them, but they lack something noticeably. I mentioned that women with the Sun in the 29th degree may have passive or ineffectual husbands. I used those terms as examples of possible problems – not the only ones. I would not have wanted the man Rose Kennedy married no matter how rich and powerful he was – he was apparently not a very nice man and made her life miserable, according to stories written about him. Her Sun was in 29 degrees…There are a surprising number of famous people with 29 degree Suns. Actress Goldie Hawn’s “husband” isn’t legit. She and Kurt Russel have yet to formalize a life situation of many years that leaves all their grown children technically bastards. And yes, I know – it’s fashionable nowadays to have children out of wedlock, but who doesn’t love who enough in these deals?”
