THE 29TH ANARETIC DEGREE IN ASTROLOGY

In astrology, the Zodiac is divided into twelve signs, each containing 30 degrees. Among these, certain degrees are considered more significant than others. One such degree is the 29^th, which holds special importance within each sign.

The 29° degree of any sign is commonly referred to as the Fate Degree, that degree that marks a point of heightened focus and intensity for the sign it occupies, as well as for any planets positioned near it.  Astrologers pay particular attention to this degree because it represents the final stretch in a sign before the energies transition to the next sign in the Zodiac.

Some astrologers view the 29^th degree to be a “problem” degree. This is because all the lessons and experiences associated with the current sign are coming to completion. As the sign approaches its end, there is a sense of urgency to resolve any remaining matters. Simultaneously, the arrival of the next sign brings new challenges and opportunities, making this degree a pivotal point of transition in an astrological chart.

Conversely, some astrologers label the 29^th degree as a gift or the degree of mastery. In one sign, the 29^th degree is known as the Millionaire’s Degree, and in another sign is said to bring fame and fortune.

Here are some interesting facts about the Moon at 29° in various signs:

• September 11 attacks occurred when the Moon was at 29° Gemini

• The dwarf planet Ceres was discovered when the Moon was at 29° Cancer

• The Berlin Wall came down when the Moon was at 29° Pisces

For a better understanding of the New Moon Eclipse occurring on September 21, 2025  at 29° Virgo, the themes for that degree in Virgo are: hard work, criticism, giving service and getting served, benevolence, awareness of personal flaws, selectivity, cleanliness, purification, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, organizing, infertility, daily business crises, self-esteem problems due to modesty; loneliness, over-planning, fear of losing control, serving humanity.

These are overarching themes and not every one of them will apply to a single person. Also to be considered is which house 29° Virgo is located in your natal chart. This will better narrow down which of these themes are more likely to affect you.
