Karmic Degree: Find Your Soul Planet

The Anaretic or Karmic degree, known as the 29th degree of a sign, is a crucial astrological aspect. Each of your planets lies in a specific zodiac sign and degree (°), and if any of them are placed within the 29th, then you know where a major part of your mission is. Take a look at your birth chart. Are there any such placements? If yes, congratulations! You’ve just discovered your soul planet or planets. And we’ve broken them down for you. Continue reading to find out what each one means:

Why Is The 29th Degree Important?

Because it is the last one prior to switching signs. The entire zodiac wheel contains 360° and is composed of 12 houses which symbolize 12 zodiac signs. Each of these houses contains 30°. And each of your placements is within a 0-29 degree range. So… the range of 29°00’00” to 29°59’59” is the last journey a planet travels through prior to moving onto the next house. Thus, making it a major turning point for you, in this lifetime.

What To Do If You Have A 29th Degree Planet?

You are to place more emphasis and focus on the area where this placement manifests itself to you. It is an expertise you’ve practiced and gained experience in previous incarnations, but haven’t concluded yet. It’s like you passed 35 out of the 40 exams for your business degree, and left the last 5 for this incarnation.

A 29 degree placement indicates that you have the possibility to graduate this lifetime, with a degree of mastery in the corresponding area. It is like the final exams prior to receiving your diploma or certification.

What you’ve almost mastered, and yet haven’t fully completed. Why it is known as both karmic and dharmic. The energy is intense and based on the awakening you receive in this lifetime, you’ll either graduate or restart. The veil between the two is actually very thin, and in reality, only takes an epiphany in the moment, to switch from one to the other. It is your consciousness which will make the difference here.

Anaretic Degrees By Planet – Karmic Lessons

Sun 29°

You are to focus further on individuation and your sense of Self. A potentially conflictual relationship with a father figure may have caused instability in who you believe you are and who you actually are. Make sure you spend enough time in no-communion with your father figure, so you may come to realize what it is that makes you an individual, outside of who you’ve been programmed to be. Discovering what genius was placed within you and how it can be further anchored within your personality. Most likely you’re meant to be a leader, at the front of the group.

Moon 29°

You have mastered the emotional world in previous lifetimes, and yet there’s still an inability to properly see emotions for what they are. Potentially an overly attached or distant mother figure may still be blocking your true state of feeling. Same as with the fatherly figure in the 29 degrees of the Sun, make sure you’ve spent a period of time where there is no contact or little contact with your mother figure. This is done out of respect for her sovereignty, so you may be able to hand back to her, her emotions, and then properly be able to see your own emotions. If you have your Moon at the anaretic degree, you are to further listen to your intuition and trust your instincts more. This lifetime you are to fully trust yourself and act prior to receiving external validation or approval. You are an alchemist. You just don’t know it yet.

Mercury 29°

You have become a specialist in the higher realms of mind, is what this placement signifies. It is very possible you spent many lifetimes seeking knowledge and cultivating your intellect, but you haven’t yet completed the entire lesson. Perhaps it is now the time to share what you’ve accumulated with the world? Wisdom often comes as we teach one another. Spend time journaling, freestyle writing to yourself (automatic writing), and see what thoughts and ideas you want to express. You have the potential of a sage. Think of Socrates.

Venus 29°

With Venus in the anaretic degree, your dharma/karma lies within your relationships. Romantic, friendly, work-related, all sorts of situations where other humans are in connection to you. You might be prone to loneliness as you haven’t fully grasped the important karmic lessons of boundaries yet. But this energy is actually the opposite. It is about the expansion of one’s relationships, but with the proper boundaries. Knowing where you begin and end, and where the other person does so as well. You’ve mastered empathy, now it’s time to optimize its efficiency. Learning when to give and when to close down. Neither is right or wrong, both can be very impactful for the other person. It is about what feels right in the moment, and acting upon it.

Mars in 29°

This one indicates a very strong personality developed over dozens of previous incarnations, but an inability to yet fully assert yourself in the world….
