It actually refers to a planet or body positioned anywhere from 29☀0’00” to 29★9’59”.


NOTE: While the 29th Degree is a term used by astrologers (it’s also known as the Anaretic degree), technically it’s the 30th degree. The 0 and 29 degrees are more crisis-oriented points, especially in predictive work. Many astrologers consider 0 and 29 degrees of any sign critical degrees as well. If a natal planet is found in a critical degree, that planet is thought to be emphasized and to assume more power in the life of the native due to its placement. These are considered sensitive, and sometimes strengthening, points.
