Let’s talk degrees: Part 1

(Note: This post doesn’t explain degrees, it simply tells you a way to use them. Also, you must use the equal house system for this to work.)

Calculating true degrees: Say your sun was in 24 degrees, 4th house, and your 4th house started at 27 degrees. Since each house is 30 degrees, you need to make the house degrees into 30 (ex. 27+3=30). You then take away the number you added to the house degrees from the suns degrees to create the new house degrees (ex. 24-3=21). Now, you add the sun degrees and the new house degrees together (ex. 21+24=45). If the new degree is more than 29, take away thirty to find true degree. Otherwise, keep it the same.

What they mean:

0: (Straightforwardness) This one means that the planet isn’t very complex and it’s fairly straightforward. In other words, any planet in 0 degrees isn’t going to have any twists and turns for you. However, this could be bad, as if you struggle in that area in life, it probably won’t get any better for you. Having no planets in this degree means that you are complex and have many personalities. This degree isn’t ruled by any sign and just strengthens the sign of the planet.

1: (Physical strength) Here’s a positive degree. This placement shows straightforwardness and strength, especially in physical fields such as sports. I’ve never really seen any negative traits in any planets in the 1st degree. Having no planets in 1st degrees means that you may not be the most athletic. This degree is ruled by Aries.

2: (Power and perfection) This is a very positive placement for any planet. In fact, any planet in the 2nd degree in the 2nd degree will make the person be almost perfect in that field of life. People with their AC, DC, MC or IC in the 2nd degree tend to do great things. Having no planets in this degree means that you might not make the most impact on the world. This degree is ruled by Taurus.

3: (Communication) This degree is associated with communication and talking to people. Any planets in the 3rd degree tend to be fields that you talk about a lot. Having no planets in this degree means that you don’t have a very active social life. This degree is typically neutral and is ruled by the sign Gemini.

4: (Home and family) This degree is all about what you call your home. Any planets in this sign are parts of your memories that you still feel deeply. Planets in this degree can also give hints about your childhood. Having no planets in this degree means that your childhood was typical. This degree can be good or bad, depending on the planets that are in it, and is ruled by Cancer.

5: (Fun) This degree is a very FUN (get it? get it?) to have in your chart, as any planets in the 5th degree show something that you have a lot of fun with. This is probably one of the best degrees. Having no planets in this degree means you may be a more serious person. This degree is ruled by the Leo.

6: (Health) Any planets in this degree can indicate something about your health. If you have a planet in the 6th degree, figure out what sign rules that planet, as that can show the area that you may have health problems in. Having no planets in this degree means you are fairly healthy. This degree is typically bad and is ruled by the sign Virgo.

7: (Psychic related things) This is one of my favorite degrees, as it rules all things psychic. Any planet in this degree is automatically mystical and having many planets in this degree may mean you have a very strong intuition. Having no planets in this degree may mean you don’t care much for mystical stuff. This degree is typically neutral and is ruled by Libra.

8: (Justice, mysteries and possibly crime) This degree is an interesting one. I don’t even know how to describe it, because of how crazy it is, but I’ll try. Basically, any planet in the 8th degree is a mystery to you. Having no planets in this degree means your life will be fairly straightforward. You’ll have lots of twists and turns in those areas. This degree is very bad and is ruled by Scorpio.

9: (Travel) This degree is basically travel and new places. Having planets in this degree may mean you have to explore those areas of life. Having no planets in this degree means that your life may not have that many adventures. This degree can be good or bad and is ruled by Sagittarius.

Part 2 is on its way! Thanks for reading!

The VIIth Degree

There is nothing in the world that pleases me more as a “music theory nerd” than a book with a good and reasonable message. Introducing to you, Arnold Schoenberg’s ‘Theory of Harmony’, is what I would call the Holy Bible for us musicians. The book contains everything you need to know about theory. But its the great philosophy of Schoenberg which amazes me the most. Just the way he has written the book will give you “the chills”! But I’m the person to force my opinions on people :) so you gotta read it and makeup your own opinions. Here is a small excerpt from the book. Maybe I’ll posed more from it later:

The passing tone is nothing else but a ‘Manier’ as it was fixed in the notation. As the notation always lags behind the sound (not only in melody, perhaps even much moron rhythm, where, with the compulsion of the bar line, the written symbols are often hardly even approximately correct), so the notation of these ornaments is often course also imperfect if judged by the sounds (composers surely) imagined. It can be understood, however, as one of the simplifications the human intellect must create if it is to deal with the material. The supposition prevails here, too, then the system that simplified the object was stake to be the system inherent in that object itself and we can safely assume that our traditional treatment of dissonance, although originally based on a correct intuition, nevertheless proceeded more to develop the system of simplification than really to reach an understanding of the nature of dissonance. Perhaps I fall into the same error if I retain here this same manner of handling dissonance; but I can cite two considerations in my favor: first, I gave the instructions necessary for complying with the system, but not (as I have often emphasized) as rules, nor as aesthetics; and the second consideration is that our present-day ear has been educated not only by the conditions of nature imposed on it, but also by those produced by the system, which has become a second nature. At present we can hardly , or just gradually escape the effects of this artificial, cultural product; and reflection on nature may have value for the theory of knowledge without being thereby necessarily capable of bearing immediate artistic fruits. It is certain that this path, too, will be taken again sooner or later, the path that leads to new secrets of nature. It is certain that the old system has to be got out of the way. The line of thought I have presented here can perhaps see as a means to that end.
