The Anaretic Degree

In this episode Venus & Vesta look at what the 29 degree point means and why it is so intense.  This ‘anaretic’ forces the themes of the sign and brings about the crisis so we learn the lesson - the last chance salon for a karmic download.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Pluto and Saturn are about to change signs at 29 degrees of their respective signs –Capricorn and Aquarius. This is a phenomenal thing, it’s called the anaretic degree because it has to force a crisis. Pluto has been at 29 degrees Capricorn since the 11th February and Saturn has joined it in Aquarius in the last week. Once a month the Moon goes ‘void of course’ at the end of each sign. If all the other planets were in the first two decerns (0-10 and 10-20, nothing at 30 degrees) the Moon will go void of course after 20 degrees because there are no other aspects to make. It’s a gap between the last planet and the end of the sign, it means we’re open to anything, freestyling, like hang-gliding – sailing in there without any cosmic interference from the planets. The 0 degree is enthusiastic and positive, the naïve ingénue. It has a flavour of a klaxon that wants to bring about all these things for me to learn, like opening a new book: where should I start? Do I write my name at the top? All these new, clean pages are ready for you to go and be creative with, it’s a lovely place to be. The Virgo Full Moon on 7th is at the same time as Saturn moving into Pisces, flavouring Saturn’s 2.5 year journey through Pisces. It will bring about an air of purity. Virgo won’t be bullied into doing what’s not right, it will do the right thing. It’s a good time to do your creative work, make yourself a checklist and don’t get distracted. BEST MOMENTS ‘Pluto rules toxicity and chemicals and we can see many explosions bringing our attention to contamination and the environment.’‘Saturn is oppressive and Aquarius is ‘the people’ and freedom, so we see where these energies are forcing lock downs or institutionalised lifestyles.’‘Uranus’s energising influence on the Virgo Full Moon will bring a new level of consciousness, it’s like a beam of enlightenment and energy that might be slightly chaotic but it will be able to take it as a steadying influence.’‘Our supply chain of oil and gas is being sabotaged… I wonder why? Pluto is the king of self-sabotage.’ ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
