I have Mercury and Saturn at critical degrees. The article goes on to detail how each planet or angle might express itself. They are your true points of touch with the depths of your own humanity. Generally, your critical planets and angles reveal not only where you fume, but also where your greatest potentials lie. The real significance of these critical moments in life is often properly understood only in retrospect over a period of months after the event. The situation calls for a transcendence – moving up to a new level of grasp and control. Then, within a few weeks of the time that the progression is exact, a crisis occurs. Except for the progressed moon, whose effect is much weaker, there is usually a preceding month or so of personal limitation and frustration. This strength is especially apparent when a planet or angle comes to conjunction with a critical degree by secondary (day-for-a-year) progression. There is an obstinate struggle here against hampering and isolating circumstances – usually self-created – and also a great reserve of fortitude and strength. These degrees are neither benefic nor malefic: they deny external satisfaction, but increase self-reliance. By denying satisfaction in external circumstances, natives are forced back upon their own resources: they have to find satisfaction within themselves. I thought we could check if it applies to us.Ĭritical degrees show a cosmic restraint: natives will experience obstruction and frustration here (depending on the planet involved) until they learn to surrender their own will in this particular area of life.
I've just found an excellent article which goes into much more depth and how each planet or angle might be affected if it falls on a critical degree. 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." For example, cafeastrology says just this - "These are considered sensitive, and sometimes strengthening, points. The info on their significance has been minimal. 0, 13, and 26 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn)Ĩ-9 and 21-22 degrees of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) andĤ and 17 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).
