- Final Degree Of Sign
I just had a question about a planet being in the final degree of a sign, ie the 30th degree or 29 degrees 0 minutes and higher. The medieval astrologer Guido Bonatti says, "The 30th Consideration is, To observe when a planet that is Significator, or...
- Numbering The Degrees Of The Zodiac
I had a question on my discussion group asking whether one should round off to the nearest degree, when considering the degrees of the Zodiac. Let's talk a bit about the the Zodiac. The Zodiac is a circle, composed, as circles are, of 360 degrees....
- Mars Attacks London, And It Is Not Yet Over For The World.
It really does not take a genius to find the correlations. Look at an aspectarian, and you will see that Mars is very close to North Node at 17 degrees to Aries. Then you have Saturn at 28 degrees Cancer, so Mars is getting close to that awkward 90 degree...

Solstice Points/Antiscia
How to Find the Solstice Point (Antiscia) of a Planet or Point
To find the Antiscion Point or Solstice Point of the Sun in your chart, for example, you would subtract the degrees in longitude of the Sun from 30 degrees and finding the corresponding sign from this list:
Gemini-Cancer
Leo-Taurus
Virgo-Aries
Libra-Pisces
Scorpio-Aquarius
Sagittarius-Capricorn
Leo-Taurus
Virgo-Aries
Libra-Pisces
Scorpio-Aquarius
Sagittarius-Capricorn
My Sun's position is 25 degrees Virgo 21 minutes. I find the Antiscia of my Sun by subtracting 25 degrees 21 minutes from 30 degrees (or 29 degrees 60 minutes) to arrive at 4 degrees 39 minutes. From the list above, we find that the Antiscia of the sign Virgo is always Aries. Therefore my Solstice Sun is 4 degrees Aries 39 minutes.
My Moon's natal position is 28 Pisces 25. To find the Antiscion point, I subtract this degree from 30 degrees, to arrive at 1 degree 35. The Antiscia of the sign Pisces is always Libra, so I arrive at the degree of my Solstice Moon: 1 Libra 35.
