The Degrees

​"We all boil at different degrees."  Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you did not know already the natal chart is a 360 degree circle.  That circle is divided into 12 sections of 30 degrees a piece.  Each section is associated with one of the twelve zodiac signs.  (Go to the natal chart page to learn more about your natal chart degrees) When I first started to study the degrees I came apon these definitions.  They were very interesting read.  This was how people used the degrees in older times.  Just take a look at the following information down below.  These were two types of different types of definition of each one of those degrees.  I found this website in the very early stages of my astrological journey, and still use this information to this day.  This website will explain in more detail who are the Sabian and Kozminsky individuals.  The website also has more information on other topics.  Like many other astrological websites this site offers chart readings.  It is your decision if you would like to try his readings.  I did not get my chart done by this site, so I do not have any information in regards to the quality of material in a chart reading.  
The following information will bring you to www.cornerstoneastrology.com website.  

Coaches Warning...
Be aware that some astrologers use 0 degrees, while others use 30 degrees.  When I do peoples charts I use 0 degrees to 29 degrees, do to the particular program that I use on the computer.  The following information does not, and uses 1 degree to 30 degree.  This is just part of the variations of interpretation within the astrological community.  It will be up to you to determine what you prefer.

Another thing to beware of before you go into the following readings about degrees and their definitions, know that degrees that are close together can have similar effects.  So take the followinh definitions with a grain of salt.  This is just to give you a start at how degrees have been used.  And just understand that the degrees start to become a major peice of knowledge when you begin to get more involved in astrology.  Just knowing where your degree is for your sun or moon is a great place to start.  This will give you better information for when you start to learn how to locate current planetary transits especially the moon.  The closer the planets are to a natal planets degree the more work can be done on your self.   On average I use anything within 3 degrees of any one of my natal placements including the acesendant.

Coaches Advice...
This was a great site to find in the beginning of my astrological journey.  Remember to keep an open mind when reading new material.  I also want to remind you that these are two different variation of what the degrees mean.  Use your own judgement in determining what is truth for you.  Remember these are from many years past.  They were based on ancient knowledge and understanding up to that time period.  But this is great place to start and just something to open your mind up to.  And do not stress over some of the negative tones.  A lot of astrology is changing now so having an open mind to change is very necessary, especially because there is still always a little truth in everything.

Jodi's Views...

Degrees I believe make a difference.  Especially when you start to get more into astrology.  Since this site is geared towards the beginner I will not go into too much detail about the degrees.  What I would recommend to a beginner is to pay attention to the planets position during retrograde periods, especially when the retrograde starts, (To learn more about retrograde please visit the retrograde section) as well as the New and Full moons.  If you have had your natal chart done you can see if these particular moments match any of your natal planet positions within your chart, what I mean is, do the degrees match up.  If they do match up or come close to a natal planet position then that is a good sign you may experience some type of event.  Become aware that each degree is a representation of a part of who you are.  When a planet is located on a certain degree, that part of the personality is being activated within us.  As you begin to recognize the degree placement of the current planetary movements and become more familiar with your own personal planetary placement, within your natal chart, you may recognize parts of your personality that are either working well for you or need more work.  

Coaches Advice...
If you learn more about the planets and the houses you can have a better idea of what type of situations may occur as well as what what area of your life they will occur in during periods like this, (To learn more about planets and the houses  please visit the planets and houses sections).
