Critical Degrees

• One thing people know very little is that - before Nikola Stojanovic Degree Theory - there are degrees descending from hellenistic astrology which are considered to have a crucial relevance.

• These degrees are called "Critical Degrees" because they can heighten the characteristics of a planet both for better or worse and have heightened power, they can be compared to a planet being retrograde, indicating struggles and hardships, here they are:

⟶ 0° & 29° of all signs

⟶ 13° & 26° of Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

⟶ 8°, 9°, 21° & 22° of Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)

⟶ 4° & 17° of Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)

Planets in These Degrees

[ ⚠ ] everything I'm going to write are POSSIBLE scenarios, it doesn't mean they HAVE to happen. Nothing is set in stone and it all depends on the whole chart.

⟶ Here are some problems and issues the individual can face when having these degrees:

• SUN = affects personality & what the individual wants, the identity may be unstable, problems with authority figures or the father, can have a higher ego and be self-absorbed which can lead to problems, or else people-pleasing with poor sense of self-worth

• MOON = difficulties with facing emotions and expressing feelings, may have problems with the mother or the caretakers, heightened sensibility and intuition.

• MERCURY = challenges about the attention span, focus, may have learning problems such as dyslexia, or else meu excel in school, easily jumps to conclusions, problems may arise in communicating, speaking one's own truth

• VENUS = problems may arise in relationships which can feel unfulfilling or never truly good, trust issues, people pleasing, obsessed with being liked and loved, may also have a troubled relationship with food and their body.

• MARS = problems with anger or dealing with it, impatience, impulsiveness, difficulty setting goals or being too ambitious and bite more than one's can actually chew. May feel aimless or has difficulty deciding. May lack courage and willpower

• JUPITER = struggles to feel lucky, victim behavior or machiavellism, struggles with confidence, god complex, "know it all" vibe, refusing to learn lessons and keep making the same mistakes over and over. Egoism.

• SATURN = problems may arise with grandparents or bosses, tendency to be very strict to themselves and have insane standards, poor balance between work and fun, overworking or procrastination.

• URANUS = heightened sense of freedom, noncommittal, refusing to obey norms, anarchy, highly rebellious tendencies, unstable, recklessness, can't seem to find stability anywhere, always looking for fun and excitement

• NEPTUNE = escapism, problems may arise with drugs, alcohol, medicines, sleep issues, heightened dreams or paranoia, these people find themselves running away instead of facing life, victimism.

• PLUTO = heightened obsession, paranoia, trust issues, depth, problems may arise around sexuality, such as perversion, addiction to sex or being fearful of it.

• ASC = self obsessed, problems with body image, huge consciousness about how they're perceived by others, can lead to struggles with people pleasing or narcissistic behaviour

• MC = struggles finding the right career path, feeling unsuitable for any profession, struggles at the workplace maybe with bosses and those in a higher position than them, problems with authorities.

neptune (rx) sextile pluto (rx)

this is a lovely sextile of the slowest planets. they do not meet up often because their own orbits are so long and pluto's is quite eccentric. and indeed this doesn't quite perfect yet; pluto is not back into capricorn and neptune is retrograding as well. but it is quite close, and it is a friendly meeting between the king of the underworld and the depth and darkness of the deep sea or deep space. so the vibes are not only chthonic but also spiritual and ethereal. it pervades all planes. use this to integrate the different parts of yourself, to do healing, to sleep well, to care for the dead and dying, honor the ancestors or spirit guides, and unify your desires on all levels of being. the influence lasts for several days.

Stellium Notes

3 or more planets in one sign is a stellium

💫 4 or more planets in one sign is extremely rare 🌟

The house it is in matters, and the sign it's in too.

Let's take a deeper look by learning some tools so that you can also check your house rulers and see which house rulers are involved in your stellium. Also let's see which other parts of your life will be influenced, especially looking for house rulers or other significant planets that are retrograde or combust for more insights

Planets too close to the sun; a few degrees behind the sun but still close are considered combust

These things will tell you about events in life and parts of your personality that you may need to put extra effort into, but they are not inherently bad, as some might say due to the unlucky parts of combustions and retrogrades.

How do I identify house rulers, and locate them in the chart?

Well first you need to know the signs and their rulers

♈︎ Aries & ♏︎ Scorpio are ruled by Mars ♂

♉︎ Taurus & ♎︎ Libra ➤ Venus ♀

♊︎ Gemini & ♍︎ Virgo ➤ Mercury ☿

♋︎ Cancer ➤ The Moon ☽

&

♌︎ Leo ➤ The Sun ☉

So say you are an Aries Rising/Ascendant then the house Aries is in would be ruled by Mars. Therefore whatever Mars is being aspected by, and the house it is in, it will also be influencing the Ascendant. That will affect the face, the self, the first impressions and the rest you can always look up what the houses rule over but generally they can be related to the signs and their planet in the same way; starting with Aries as 1st house, Taurus as 2nd etc

however do not misconstrue the sign as the house representative because it is actually ruled also by their ruling Planets, so when you look at 2nd house themes remember that venus is also involved so it's not just about finances, but also the body and and venusian things

Degrees💫

Degrees have also been theorized to be related to zodiac signs, degrees can make significant differences depending on one degree change. This is evident in twin birth charts since they have the same chart but different birth times by only a few moments difference, but its more important in aspects. That being said it is also very important to have your precise birth time, and this has the ability to allow us to see the most influential aspects in your chart especially when viewed with a lower orb. In a stellium where each planet is in the same sign, we can look at the degrees and it can be fun to relate them to their respective zodiac signs... However, keep in mind that it is not a proven practice, and it is a made up theory!

How do the zodiacs relate with degrees?

Well in the degree theory, each of the 0–29 degrees are ruled by a zodiac sign except 0° considered the raw expression of any placement and 29° which is considered an anoretic degree and a completion degree

______________________________________

1° is ruled by Aries ♈︎ degree

2° Taurus ♉︎ degree

3° Gemini ♊︎ degree

4° Cancer ♋︎ degree

And so on…

፨ After 12° (Pisces ♓︎) it repeats with 13° beginning at Aries ♈︎ again ⊰

ᑕᖇITIᑕᗩᒪ ᗪᗴᘜᖇᗴᗴՏ

0 degrees in degree theory is the raw expression of a sign its in and the planet is considered young

29 degree in the degree theory is supposedly a leo degree, a fame degree, and a degree of completion. It is called an anoretic degree and apparently it is found in the charts of the most successful people often. This degree can mean that you are very wise in this aspect of life?

Also, could you go more into depth about 0° signs (specifically sun)? I only hear a lot about how the 29th degree is auspicious.

Yes, of course ! So, these are called critical degrees in astrology.

Planets at the 0 degree of a sign, indicate that you are starting a new beginning with the energy and earthbound day to day life manifestations of the planet. You have completed a cycle of reincarnations and experiences with it, and now you are given a new meaning, a new lifeline in this direction, a clean slate, so to speak, to explore other brand new and fascinating aspects of this planet.

For example, someone with The Sun in 0 degrees of a sign, is incarnated in this life to start all over again in their self expression on a course of a higher level than the previous cycle and lessons. The Sun is the planet of leadership and kingship. Indeed it made up powerful leaders, with totally new and even revolutionary ideas and vision. This can make for a very charismatic leader who is born to be seen. In a number of incarnations, starting from the current one, the person will be exploring a newer stream of their self expression and leadership and social norms of interactions and even be the initiator of such in this life. Maybe in a number of past lives, the person was incarnated in a society where they were forced to hide their light and their creative self expression, and now, here with a 0 degree sun, they are having their first taste of leading, and seeing what an impression this will make.

On the flip side, people with planets on the 0 degree also carry inexperience and unregulated impulse with this planet, which can create extreme manifestations, complications and mistakes, falling down and having to get up quite a few times until we get it right is the motto here. Take for instance having a sun in Leo, the focus to be seen for your creative talents will shine and your charisma will be highlighted, but you run the risk of an ego death, possible challenges with your audience if you go too hard without regulating these sun fuelled impulses. It’s all relative to the sign it’s in.

The 0 degree planet people are like the impatient but idealistic child at the birthday party waiting to blow out the candles, one who can entice others after them, break the status quo, but also create a lot of chaos in that area of life without tested practice. Having planets there is double edged sword, but with planets here it really becomes a prominent area in their life and even make them famous in some way-by being intense, an rule breaker, bringing innovations, unique ideas, exciting and novel experiences, breaking the boundaries, child like enthusiasm, idealism, a level of fame, brilliance or notoriety, rampant but difficult to control energy, many falls and starting over again, dare devil attitude, complications due to rushing or lack of common sense in that regard.

Hope this helps :)

What does it mean if you have to moon placements such as moon in 8th and 9th house?

hello! how are you? ;)

did you mean moon in 8th house last degrees?

if i understood correctly, currently i prefer to see that the placements that are in the last degrees manifest the characteristics of what we call critical degrees.

Critical degrees are placements that are at zero degree (0°) or at the last degree (29°), bringing a sense of urgency, of greater tension in that area. it's as if the person had to deal with a lot of disruptions during their life in that area.

for example:

Critical degrees in Sun: sense of constant search to understand who you are, urgency to demonstrate who you are, and in the end you know who you are, but you have many difficulties to demonstrate this, difficulties to live your essence without facing problems.

Critical degrees in Moon: sense of constant search for emotional security, feeling that you have a home, a inner "hunger" that has not been met yet. knowing what you need, what you want, what you feel, who you are internally, but at the same time not knowing how to demonstrate it or even experience it with yourself. there may be feelings that something is still missing for you to have experiences of emotional completeness, emotional expression of yourself or others towards you.

Critical degrees, generally speaking, mean things that will be experienced and that will feel "unavoidable". it brings urgency of change, redefinition.

today, idon't consider that the placements in the last degrees manifest the next sign/house.

Understanding Degrees and Minutes in Astrology

Many lovers of Astrology may not realize that there is much more to it than zodiac signs and planets. There are many facets of Astrology that go completely unrecognized by the greater majority who may have a basic understanding of how this incredibly detailed divination practice works. In fact, Astrology is boundless! As you probably already know, considering you’re reading this post, there are…

“This fic would be better if—” babe this isn’t your high school English class and my fic isn’t assigned reading. it’s something a stranger wrote on the internet without an explicit request for constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement. you are not grading my smut fic on a rubric (I hope).

if you cannot consume writing without needing to criticize it, that’s a you problem. stop leaving me these kinds of comments — and if you DO: for god’s sake, please make sure you’re actually objectively correct about the criticism you’re leaving.

Slowly leaving the copium phase and getting genuinely curious what even was the intention behind the epilogue?

The manga could've ended with Deku punching Shigaraki into dust and nothing of value would have been lost. Why are we spending 70% of the epilogue on the society rebuilding itself back to status quo? Nothing has changed, no lesson was learned in the war against villains because they were successfully defeated. Pro heroes are alive and well, the hero kids, despite being literal war veterans at 16 years old are all still in the hero course. Now they even have their own fans.

Is it supposed to show how the hero propaganda makes child soldiers and keeps the machine running forever by glorifying the profession and demonizing the villains? Is it supposed to show the heavy burden the heroes will be carrying for the rest of their lives after getting killed the person they set out to save?

Is it supposed to be so dark and hopeless? No one won in this war, no one got what they wanted, none of the saviour trio achieved their goal of saving their villain, with two confirmed dead and one joining them soon. Even the narrative's golden boy Bakugou got his dream of competing with Deku forever taken away from him because Deku doesn't have a quirk anymore. (on that note, what Izuku is even doing in UA still when the manga has spent so much time establishing how impossible heroics are for quirkless people and not giving us even one example of a quirkless hero who did not get OFA).

Why this insistence on making both sides as miserable as possible? For a manga that started as a hopeful story about saving people, giving them hope, that sure is a choice.

Not sure what message we are supposed to take away from this other than a 'Fuck you' from the author to all of his readers.

i miss otaku fm with all my heart and soul and i've been patiently waiting for satoshi kada (leviathan's va) to get back into the studio, and interview everyone all over again. i miss the live drama recordings, the stupidly funny plots, the realistic slip-ups and quirks from each of the cast members. i miss a toast in hell's kitchen and genuinely learning and listening about the talents behind the game, and people's amiable messages and questions towards them in Tell Me!

honestly i'm on my knees begging for a third season where maybe he interviews the vas for thirteen, mephisto and raphael since i haven't seen/heard much from them too in terms of personal messages to fans.

satoshi kada, with his radio, acting and tv experience is such a sweet and soothing personality who brings such warmth to every single project he works on, including obey me. i just wish solmare really really recognized how impactful these podcasts were, no matter long or short, and the abilities of this main cast because goddamit..in such a time where nightbringer is being scrutinized and obey me itself is falling in popularity, absolutely none of the voice actors have forgotten or even brushed aside obey me.

"oh it's because they're working for the game, they'd get fired if they criticized it"

//NB: ik this video is sort of old but i have plenty more proof that the vas still play the game, I thought this was just the best example.//

fuck, most (if not ALL) of the vas play the game??? they get the exact same experience as you and i!! and every boys in the house clip i see them happy to be there together, praising and celebrating the game and just having fun man. it's honestly so touching.

i miss the anime episodes: the ideas shared between the vas and the writers, and every episode seven with the va's analysing their performances and characters makes me laugh till my stomach hurts. you *should* consider how entertaining the anime is; it's obviously rather low budget but you can really tell ( even though this wasn't the obey me universe we know and love) it still kept people on their feet and entertained me like some twisted ao3 crackfic istg. you can tell that the anime was made with fans in mind, and that's where the writers for it really flourished. to this day I still see people talking and sharing screenshots from it..

basically.. let's try not focus on the fact that "obey me is getting worse", let's all look to a future and try and be positive about things, yeah? because behind this silly little demon dating sim are talented writers, artists, coders, ambassadors and fans that have kept the game alive for 5+ years.

i wish obm does flourish more in the future, and the devs focus on creating a game(s) and content that inspire, enlighten and make everyone smile.

please, as a ty, take my silly photos of my favs. I must spread the word..

y’all i work in construction and i was on a ledge 35 feet up being lazy lifting something in a, lets say non-OSHA compliant manner, and i swear right before i started pulling i heard brennan lee mulligan’s voice on the wind saying “are you weakest, do you feel, at the elbow or the shoulder?”

i stopped and went through correct safety procedure so damn quickly. thats what i call divine intervention.

ok but do guys realize how insufferable dorian is gonna be when he and orym finally get their shit together and confess??? SO many pet names, love ballads, constant doting, we're gonna go from crumbs of content to a whole ass wedding cake i can feel it

I think what particularly annoys me with the "zelda was always gameplay before story" is that... it's not true? At least I don't think it's true in the way people mean it.

Zelda games were always kind of integrating story based on the standards of the time. When game stories were in game pamphlets, Zelda's stories was in the pamphlets. ALTTP tried to tell a pretty complicated stories with the limitations of the time. OoT was actively trying to tell an epic, cinematic tale packed with ambiance and expand what 3D could offer that 2D games struggled with. Majora's Mask is deeply character-driven in many, many ways. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are both pretty concerned about their stories, down to the point that some people were bored by TP's cutscenes in particular. Skyward Sword, from what little I have played it, is very very invested in its characters and their journey (and 2D Zeldas have Link's Awakening, Minish Cap... None of them are visual novels, but they are concerned with emotional journeys, character arcs, mysteries about their own world...)

What is true is that the narrative wraps around the mechanics, and not the other way around. The mechanics drive themes, aesthetics, emotional beats and character journeys; and that's great. The world is a puzzle, and the world is delightfully absurd when it needs to be, full of heart when it calls for it, dark and oppressive when it suits the player experience.

That does not mean the games aren't invested in their stories. Even BotW has a pretty complicated story to tell about an entire world rather than one specific tale or legend --all of it at the service of the gameplay, which is exploration and mastery of your environment.

So. Yes, none of the Zelda games are million-words long visual novels that care deeply about consistency and nuance; but stories don't need consistency or deep lore to be meaningful and serve an emotional journey. Again: gameplay is story. The two cannot be so easily parsed from each other.

And Zelda as a franchise obviously care deeply about story, characters and setting (and still does right now --otherwise there wouldn't be a movie), even if it doesn't try to imitate prestige narrative-driven games, which is great and part of why I love this series so much. Doesn't mean it couldn't have done better in the past, it obviously could have, but I feel like pretending that nobody ever cared about story or character is just... false? It's a huge disservice to the devs too. Some of them obviously cared immensely.

The "gameplay above story", at least in the extent to which it is paraded today to defend TotK, mostly, is a really recent development. And I think it's one that deserves to receive some pushback.

The easiest way SJM could have "fixed" the SA storyline from under the mountain when she decided to make feysand endgame in Acomaf is to

Utilize the fact that Rhysand is fae, so for him the concept of consent is foreign and more unclear

Make Rhysand desentitized in regards to SA because of his own SA by Amarantha for 50 years

Make Amarantha be a reason of why Rhysand panically decides to make feyre his plaything, e.g., Him overhearing a conversation beween Amarantha and a noble fae and said fae wanting to "purchase" feyre for his pleasure with Amarantha contemplating it

After this is established, make feyre's trauma be in response to rhysand's actions in utm; let rhysand feel guilty and make him apologize once he understood what he did was wrong; let their sexual encounters not be a cheap plot device but instead have them both figure out what they want in a partner and how they could work through it together, e.g., them touching each other and verbalizing what they like or don't like; or have a scene where they lay on their sides on the bed and have a mirror in front of them so rhysand doesn't feel controlled by feyre and feyre can always see what's happening via the mirror
