Your Sun Sign Degree
What Is a Zodiac Sign Degree?
Every zodiac sign spans 30 degrees of the celestial sky, forming a 360° astrological circle.
For example:
- Aries covers 0°–29° Aries,
- Taurus covers 0°–29° Taurus,
- Gemini covers 0°–29° Gemini, and so on.
Your Sun sign degree tells you where exactly the Sun was within its zodiac sign at the time of your birth.
It’s like zooming into your Sun sign with a telescope — instead of just knowing you’re a Leo, you learn you’re a Leo at 5°, which carries a specific flavor of energy.
Why Zodiac Degrees Matter in Astrology
Degrees may seem like small details, but they hold deep symbolic meaning. Each degree can fine-tune your astrological interpretation.
Here’s why your Sun’s exact degree matters:
1. Refines Your Personality Traits
A 2° Leo and a 27° Leo are both Leos — but their expression differs.
Early degrees (0°–9°) are raw and strong, middle degrees (10°–19°) are mature and balanced, while late degrees (20°–29°) are wise and refined.
2. Reveals Cusp Energies
If your Sun lies at 29° or 0°, you may have “cusp” energy — showing traits from two neighboring signs.
For instance, 29° Pisces may carry both Piscean empathy and Aries drive.
3. Improves Predictive Accuracy
In timing astrology (like transits and progressions), exact degrees help astrologers know when planetary influences will activate specific areas of your life.
4. Adds Symbolic Depth
Each degree also aligns with a Sabian Symbol a poetic image representing the spiritual message behind that point in the zodiac.
