Each sign is composed of 30 degrees of ecliptic longitude. You were born on one of these days or "degrees." Altogether, 360 astrological degrees complete the circle of ecliptic longitude. However, some degrees have a greater impact, i.e., for instance, the four cardinal points known as equinoxes and solstices! Other degrees represent points of intense elemental concentration, etc.

All consulting astrologers need to ascertain what degrees give an intensified expression of a natal planet situated at that point. Knowing your degrees helps to fine-tune your interpretations. Judith covers the cardinal and midseason points, "critical" degrees, "anaretic" degrees, late water sign degrees, the traditional "duads," exaltation degrees, discusses various interpretive degree systems, and more!

SENSITIVE AND SENSITIZED DEGREES

Some folks have sensitive nerves, others experience sensitive knees, or hearing, etc. Sometimes astrologers speak of “sensitive degrees”, or describe a time when natal, or transiting planets tenanting a sensitive degree as becoming somehow “sensitized”. What does all this mean, and how does it work?

India’s Ayurvedic Medicine, China’s TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Homeopathy and Naturopathy. However, only erudite scholars have even heard of “Astrologo-Physick”, the major traditional medical system of pre-industrial Europe. This seems incredible, considering how this system was in fact, a major arm of the European, university sanctioned medical system until approximately 1700. Think: “astrology, herbs, plus patient examination”.

So what does Astrologo-Physick mean, anyway?
