The meaning of the 21st degree in astrology
According to the late Serbian astrologer Nikola Stojanovic’s research, the meaning of the 21st degree in astrology is that it carries all the domains of the Zodiac Sign Sagittarius. The 9th degree too is the Sagittarius degree.
The main domains of the Zodiac Sign Sagittarius are study, high education, philosophy, foreign matters, travel, good fortune, abundance, religion, morals, teaching, preaching, and being optimistic.

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, let’s look at some real-life examples of the meaning of the 21st 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.
Moon at 21st degree in the natal chart
The Moon symbolizes the mother, the ideal home environment, and also the inner dialogue of the native.
If the Moon falls at the 21st degree in the natal chart, it means that the mother of the native had Sagittarius qualities, such as whether well-educated, a teacher, or a charitable person. (Sagittarius has many other domains, though. )
Or another possible scenario is that the native feels at home or finds a home in a foreign country as Sagittarius rules foreign countries.
For example, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex (I’m not sure if he can still use this title) has his Moon at the 21st degree in Taurus. His mother, the late Princess of Wales was a Sagittarius rising, and she is known for her charitable and jovial personality.
Also, he relocated overseas and left the royal family to build his life with his wife in the USA.
The Moon rules his 7th house, the spouse. And his spouse is a foreigner, also a Sagittarius analog. She is basically from a different continent than him.
(On a side note, his Ascendant-descendant axis is at the 11th degree, the Aquarius degree, which means separation from the first spouse. Also, I’m curious about how the Uranus transit in the next few years will manifest for him. Because transit Uranus will conjunct his Moon, the 7th house lord, and it is a strong indicator for divorce.)
Venus at the 21st degree in the natal chart
Venus in the male chart represents the wife beside the 7th house and its ruler- in the natal chart. If Venus is at the 21st degree either the wife has Sagittarius character traits, such as a foreigner, well-educated, well-traveled, etc., or they meet in a Sagittarius-ruled environment, such as tennis court, academic environment, University, or in a foreign country etc.
Emmanuel Macron the French president has his Venus at the 21st degree. He has married his teacher. Again, a teacher is also a Sagittarius domain.
Ascendant at the 21st degree in the natal chart
The first house cusp aka the Ascendant is the most important part of the natal chart. It talks about the path of life of the person, destiny, personality, body, appearance, health, new beginnings, and more!
What does it mean Ascendant is at the 21st degree?
The 21st degree carries all the Sagittarius qualities, character traits, and domains. It influences the native’s personality in a way that he/she has Sagittarius character traits too. Such as being overly optimistic, exaggerating things, and loving to travel, study, or be with people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world.
The path of life or destiny might be connected to living or studying in a foreign country, or being a teacher of some sort, and education plays a major role in a person”s life.
Sun at 21st degree in the natal chart | Sun at Sagittarius Degree
What does it mean to have the Sun at the 21st degree?
As Sun doesn’t only influence the personality of the native it is the main career significator. The house and Zodiac Sign placement of the Sun tell in what kind of circumstances and occupation the person can shine bright like the Sun, and that is the personal kingdom, so to speak. The degree gives additional meaning/information to that.
In other words, the occupation is connected to Sagittarius domains. Such as the work requires higher education, a university degree, traveling long distances, or it has a foreign element. Or the work is connected to teaching, advising, and guiding.
Do you have planets or house cusp at the 21st degree in your natal chart? How does it manifest in your life? Please share your experiences, so we all can learn from them. Thank you, Niki

Hello, when reading the Venus 21 degrees I wish it wasn’t specifically just for men in a male chart but for women too. I would like to know what it means for females and where that corresponds/ what it means in our charts as well. I find it quite unfair that it doesn’t explain that! Thanks.
