For natal chart reading, I use the Whole Sign House System-the most ancient one-not Placidus. However, the charts I uploaded are in Placidus House Calculation System. It can be confusing, mind you.
I use the meaning of the degrees as additional information for the natal chart reading.
So, letās look at some real-life examples of the meaning of the 18th degree in astrology.
Please note that these examples are very brief interpretations. To fully understand a certain planetary position, one must check every detail of it.
The 18th degree according to Stojanovic’s theory is an “evil degree”, the “degree of misfortune”, of something mean, and also the “degree of disease”. And arguably this degree has the worst reputation and is feared the most. However, there are many real-life examples that it could carry better manifestations too.
Ascendant at the 18th degree

Ascendant in a nutshell is the physical body, the appearance of the native, and it is also directly connected to the path of the native walks in this lifetime.
If the Ascendant falls ta the 18th degree, that gives additional information about either the look or the path of the native that it has some Virgo elements/qualities.
If you want to see a literal manifestation of the 18th degree, take a look at Sir Lewis Hamiltonās natal chart. He is a Scorpio Ascendant and here you can read more about his outstanding natal chart and life.
So, the 18th degree, the Virgo degree carries the agenda of Virgo. As the Ascendant is the appearance, and Virgo is the perfectionist, he always looks flawless, clean, or even perfect. You will never see any imperfection in his appearance. However, he is often criticized for his unique style. Virgo is to criticize or be criticized. Also, his whole life rotates around his work, strict daily routine, diet, working out, resting enough, etc. That is also the Virgo domain.
In a similar vein, Virgo is all about service, helping those who are below the social ladder. His life purpose or one of his main goals is to help black kids get into motorsports which is still white and male-dominated.
Sun at 18th degree in the natal chart
SunĀ in the natal chart shows how the native manifests his/herĀ solar qualities, such asĀ shining bright like the sun, having a center stage position, achievements, ego, and confidence. Therefore, the Sun is considered to be the main career indicator.Ā
The late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh had his Ascendant, Sun, and Saturn at the 18th degree.
On a side note, for those who are afraid of the negative manifestation of the 18th degree, here is such a great example that it can manifest beautifully.
In a nutshell, his life as the husband of the late Queen Elizabeth II, his life was all about serving the country, his royal duties were to be of service. Service is the main Virgo degree. He lived 99 years in good health, had four children, many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and had a more than 70-year-long marriage.
The late Duke of Edinburgh’s Ascendant was at the 18th degree in Leo. His life path is connected to service as a royal, Leo symbolizes the kings and queens. His Ascendant ruler, the Sun- career indicator- was at 18th degree, in Gemini in the 11th house. Again, another indicator of selfless service.
Venus at the 18th degree in the natal chart
What does it mean to have Venus at the 18th degree?
Venus in the female chart talks about the feminine energy of the person, how she feels feminine, and how she values herself. The way she bonds with loved ones, she gets attached, the way she shows affection, what she spends money on, her style and fashion preference, and all the other Venusian domains.
Any Zodiac Sign Venus falls in, it gives Venus its own filter or flavor so to speak. However, Venus at the Virgo Degree has additional Virgo qualities. For example, the person might be a clean freak or loves and finds pleasure in organizing, planning, or being of service to others. Or she has the other fundamental Virgo character traits, such as having attention to detail, being critical, and aiming for perfection.
Venus in the male chart shows the wife of the man, and how they meet too. The wife carries the fundamental Virgo qualities and/or they meet in Virgo-ruled circumstances. For example at work, at the health care center, or hospital.
Moon at 18th degree in the natal chart
What does it mean to have the Moon at the 18th degree in the natal chart?
Moon is the significator of the mother and/or primary caretaker of the person. When the Moon is at the 18th degree in any Zodiac Sign, it has additional Gemini qualitie as the 18th degree is the Virgo degree. In other words, the mother of the native might be literally a Virgo-born woman, or she has Virgo qualities. She is a detail-oriented, great planner, and organized person who loves cleanliness and order. Or she has debt, or health issues, or food allergy.
Besides being the significator of the mother, Moon shows the ideal home environment of the person too. If it is located at the 18th degree the person has a clean, well-organized, and tidy home. Or as Virgo rules work and the Moon is the home, the person might work from home.
