New karma with new adventures are awaiting
The 0 degree in astrology is like when the native -who has a planet or the house cusp there- is standing on a threshold or at the doorstep of a room. The native hasn’t been there, and has no experience there.He/she has to “walk through” that room in the same way that particular planet has to walk though and gain experience in that particular house/Zodiac Sign.
It’s like a blank space, the purest form/energy of that particular sign, or you can even call it the essence of the Zodiac Sign. A brand new beginning with that energy of that sign for the native.A fresh start, new karma, new adventure, clean state.
Since the native is inexperienced in that particular subject of life, he/she is on the quest to gain experience. hence, many events, maybe mistakes are connected to that planet or house cusp that is located at 0 degree.
According to Nicola Stojnaivc’s degree theory, the 0 degree is a double whammy in every sign. It doubles the energy of the sign. Let’s say your moon is in 0 degrees of Taurus. In that case, the Taurus energy is more amplified.
What to do if you have planets or house cusp at the 0 degree in your natal chart?
One must develop in this incarnation of the qualities of that Zodiac Sign. If it’s the Ascendant, then the whole personality is affected; if it’s, let’s say, the Sun, the career is affected.
Add the 0 degrees as an additional meaning when you read your natal chart.
Keywords for 0 degree: focused energy, no experience yet, unfamiliar, purest form of energy of the Zodiac Sign, new adventure and new karma.
