Critical Degrees

"As helpless as baby kittens are, when a stranger approaches they hiss and spit and kick up a fuss, and make a fine show of bravery. Human beings are rather frail creatures too, with great pretensions. Behind all their hissing and spitting they possess a sheer gumption which is peculiarly human and is most noticeable in moments of stress and harassment.  In the horoscope it is shown by the critical degrees.
 The critical degrees are points spaced 12°51’ apart, beginning at 0° Q (See table of critical degrees).  This is a division of the zodiac by 28, which is symbolically the moon’s orbital period:  the critical degrees are “lunar” in the sense that this area of life is never stable – there is always some question or problem about it.   Any natal planet or horoscope angle that lies within an orb of one degree of any of these points is considered to be critical. Where you find a critical planet or angle in the chart, you find a good deal of hissing and spitting in the life."

    "My research of the Zodiac degrees has shown that the 22nd degree of any of the Zodiac signs was often active with the assassins or the killed. Let us see what the practice says:

    In the horoscope of India (1 January 1877, at midnight, LMT, 77E13, 28N40) there is the Moon (woman) in the 10th house (power, ruler) at the 22nd degree of Cancer. This means that a woman ruler (the Moon in the 10th house) will be assassinated (22°). And indeed, Indira Ghandi the Prime Minister of India was assassinated by the Sics who were her bodyguards."
