THE ASPECTS 81

Critical Degrees:

The following table shows certain degrees of the Zodiac which are designated as “critical degrees.” When a planet is within an orb of three degrees of any of these points, it will be found to exercise a much stronger influence in the life than otherwise. This influence will tend to increase the strength of an exaltation, and also to offset the weakness resulting from a planet being in its fall or detriment. It will also increase the strength of aspects to that planet.
