Answer 1

It basically shows where EXACTLY the planet is in the signs, it also helps determine what house the planet is in which is also important, plpus if you really look into it, every degree in every sign has it's own personality

Answer 2

how powerful the influences of those positions will be. The higher, the more impact (depending on the aspects- it might be a good impact or bad)

Answer 3

Hello Anna

The placement of planets in certain degrees of signs reflect a trait of your personality according to sign placement, as well as the area where that trait will be more pronounced whichis indicated by the house it is in.

As one poster mentioned, their are certain critical degrees than a planet can be on which indicate certain important events in life.

The distance in degrees of planets also create good and bad aspects which further reveals if the character or the event, will be of good or bad quality. This depends on the quality of the aspect.

Answer 4

Each sign consists of 30 degrees.  So when you are given the degrees, you know where the planet is within that sign.  The degrees are then used to determine aspects between planets and which house the planets are in in the birth chart.....

Answer 5

The degrees are most important in the horoscope.

In indian astrology there are 16 divisional charts based on divisions made of the house like 1/7th,1/9th , 1/10th, 1/30th and   so on.

there is a simplification made in nadi astrology where all these divisions have been considered and one sign divided into 150 nadis or divisions.

This means that division of 1/5th of 1 degree is made. This give exact timing of events and about family members.

The nadi astrologers in india using nadi astrology are able to not only tell about the living and dead family members but go to the extent of telling their names too.

There are many people born with same horoscope but it is the degree of planets that makes the difference between a great individual and commoner besides providing information on correct timing of event and how that event will transpire and who will be involved in the event.
