What do degrees mean?

Question

In astrology, what do the degrees mean?

Answer 1

A degree is a measurement. Each sign is divided into 30 degrees, from 0 to 29. Depending upon when you were born, each planet is in a particular degree at that moment. Some of the planets change degrees quickly, other move much more slowly. For example, the Moon changes roughly 15 degrees each day, the Sun 1 degree a day, and Pluto maybe 2 degrees a year...

Some astrologers believe that each degree of a sign has a little extra added meaning to it, but it does not radically change the general interpretation.

Answer 2

There are two major types of Astrology practiced today in the Western World: Tropical and Sidereal.

Tropical Astrology assigns the 12 zodiac signs (each consisting of 30 degrees) based on their position in relation to the Spring Equinox, which marks the Astrological New Year and usually falls on March 21. The Equinox represents 0 degrees Aries.


Sidereal Astrology (found mostly in India) assigns positions based on constellations, rather than in relation to the Equinox. It acknowledges the precession* and adjusts the signs of the zodiac accordingly.
At present, Sidereal Astrology is 24 degrees behind Tropical Astrology, so a person born under 23 degrees Libra in Tropical Astrology is born at 29 degrees Virgo in Sidereal Astrology.

* The earth wobbles on its axis, describing a great circle in space once every 26,000 years. The wobble, called precession, continually changes the points at which the celestial equator and the plane of the ecliptic intersect to create equinoxes. The vernal equinox shifts backwards along the ecliptic through one full constellation every 2,166 years (one-twelfth of the time it takes the Earth to complete its wobble.)

The modern notion of astrological ages, such as the Age of Aquarius, is based on the precession of the equinoxes. The constellation that rises with the Sun on the vernal equinox stays the same for more than 2,000 years and gives its name to the age. Thus the Age of Aries was ending about 2,000 years ago, and Pisces was beginning. Pisces now yielded to Aquarius.

Astrologers do not present a unified front when it comes to explanation how astrology works. In general, their explanations fall into two broad categories:

causative,
postulating an actual cause-and-effect relationship between the sky and people's life on earth, and

synchronistic,
postulating that the whole universe is synchronized so that certain celestial occurrences coincide with particular events below, as if earth and stars were different parts in a vast, wind-up watch...

confident and no. i think of a level exhibits which you will learn and assimilate infomation on the chosen concern. a level implies different existence skills too at the same time with time administration, dedication etc. Intelligence isn't in ordinary terms academic, it implies reasoning, emotional intelligence, social skills etc. yet those with levels could be thoroughly idiotic -no longer gaining expertise of from errors, being illogical such immersing a toaster plugged into the mains in water - I truly have considered it! With education, appreciate is a large component I truly have recent in jobs. I by no ability get appreciate from my family contributors - yet I left domicile at sixteen to realize it and that that they had no section in it. It became by way of my grandad who gave me the self appreciate to do what i wanted. KS is thoroughly precise approximately Piaget - yet how do you define intelligence?
