That mystical 18th and 22nd degree in the natal chart
Do you or your loved ones have planets in the 18th and 22nd degrees in the natal chart? Have you ever wondered if the degrees add special meaning to the natal chart or not?
It just doesn’t make sense that Venus in the first degree of Scorpio would manifest in the same way as Venus in the last degree of Scorpio. (Decans and the terms indicate a slightly different manifestation, though. )
The 18th and 22nd degrees share a terrible reputation. However, no one should be worried. They have more positive manifestations than bad ones.
The world-famous Serbian Astrologer Nikola Stojanovic came up with the “Degree theory.” He did research on the 18th and 22nd degrees for the first time. And he figured out that every degree has a special meaning.
In other words, when you read your natal chart, you should add the meaning of a particular degree.
Let’s say your Ascendant is at the 5th degree of Taurus. It means even if you have no planet in Leo and nothing in the 5th house (Leo analogy), you still carry some Leo qualities.
Why? Because the 5th degree is the Leo degree, as Leo is the 5th sign from Aries. If your Ascendant in Taurus is at the 6th degree, you would have Virgo qualities because the 6th degree is the Virgo degree.
I hope you get the logic of how the degrees work. Here you can find out more about each of the degrees and their meanings.
Why the 18th and 22nd degrees are significant?
The 18th degree is a Virgo degree, but it plays out differently than the 6th degree, which is also the Virgo degree. 18th degree can indicate a bad fortune or severe health issues according to Nikola Stojanovic’s degree theory. He used to consider that the “evil degree”, or the “mean degree”.
The secrets and meaning of the 18th-degree+ examples
As the Zodiac Sign Virgo has a fair share of great qualities and character traits, according to my personal research the 18th degree, the so-called evil degree most of the time carries the Virgo qualities. Such as being knit-picking, and the ability to pay attention to details. Or might indicate an occupation that Virgo rules, such as being a nutritionist, a doctor of some sort, or giving service to others.

The 22nd degree is the Capricorn degree. However, it is different than the 10th degree, which is also the Capricorn degree. The 22nd degree can indicate that a native’s loved one passed/passed away. And the native carries the grief for such a long time. (For example, in the chart of Prince Harry.) The worst-case scenario, as Nikola said could indicate to kill or to be killed.

More to read: The positive manifestation of the 22nd degree
The 18th and 22nd degrees occurred during worldly events.
One of my research results is a repeating pattern in the chart of events that shakes the whole world. (Not only do people have an astrological chart, but events as well.)
This repeating pattern is that when something happens that affects millions of people, at least two planets are either in the 18th or 22nd degree.
According to Nikola’s theory, the 18th degree is an “evil degree,” while the 22nd can be deadly/fatal. These repeating patterns show up in the charts of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, the Chornobyl explosion, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004.
These are fascinating “astrological explorations” and the late Nikola Stojanovic really did a great groundwork on his degree theory. However, the fast-moving planets reach these two particular degrees every month. And thankfully such disastrous events are quite rare. Still, should not be ignored or be taken lightheartedly because those events aforementioned events happened when planets were at the 18th and 22nd degree.

Having the 18th and the 22nd degree in the natal chart
If you happen to have one of the 18th or 22nd degrees in your natal chart, I ask you kindly not to worry about them. I just mentioned the worst possible scenarios, but they can indicate much more positive things, and most of the time, they manifest on a higher/more positive level.
The 18th degree can indicate Virgo qualities to that particular planet, or house cusp, which is there.
So, for example, if you have the Moon in the 18th degree, you might have a mother (Moon) who has Virgo qualities. Such as she is critical and knit-picking, or very good at details, or she is a doctor, a nutritionist, etc.

Sun at the 18th degree + Examples
If you have planets or house cusps at the 22nd degree it might add Capricorn qualities to your planets. For example, if your Sun is in the 22nd degree, you don’t have to worry if your father (Sun) dies early or will be killed. It can indicate a father who has Capricorn qualities, such as being hard-working, or emotionally cold and distant, or you personally might be a workaholic (Capricorn quality).
Here you can find more info about the Positive Manifestations of the 22nd degree.
Conclusion
The purpose of astrology is not to scare you for sure. Instead providing you with guidance, understanding, and remedies if needed. The 18th and 22nd degrees in the natal chart can bring stunning results, not just bad fortune, mind you.
Do you have them in your natal chart? If yes, how do they play out in your life? Please, share it in the comments below; I’m really curious about your experiences! Cheers, Niki

Hi Niki,
You did a great job explaining these often sensationalized degrees in a way that even those with a basic understanding of astrology can appreciate.
I was just wondering if you had any insight on how Venus in Aquarius at 22° and Mercury in Aquarius at 18° could impact someone’s life trajectory? I have a lot of trines in my chart and yet my Leo moon is badly aspected with my Aquarius stellium in the 8th house (consisting of 6 planets in total including my Pisces sun). I have a very air-heavy chart, with my 19 degree Gemini rising acting as the centerpiece.
Thanks so much for your hard work and your ever-insightful observations!

Amy says
My Ascendant is in Aquarius on the 18th degree and I have the worst life of anyone I’ve ever known – so I think there is something to the reputation. It’s a 9 – in numerology, that is also the worst, which is also my life path number. 22, on the other hand, is a master number which may be why there are some positive aspects to this degree.

My ascendant is 18 degrees 🙁 and my moon is 22 degree.
Lex says
Me too! 18 degree Aries rising and 22 degree Taurus moon.
Carima says
My sun (father) is at 18 degrees: I had a very abusive father, mentally and physically, and my moon (mother) is at 22 degrees: she was a very cold and distant. On top of that, my moon is in Aries, ruled by Mars, so my relationship with my mother was very difficult and full of conflicts. My sun is in Gemini, so communication with my father under the influence of the 18th degree was nearly impossible as he was verbally very negative and belittling towards me.
Incredibly accurate! Astrology helped me better understand and accept certain things that happened in my life, so that I longer think like a victim. It is a process that really helped me transform and let go of what was and the cool thing is it shows you your possible trajectory, your life path and its lessons. It also shows you that no matter what, you still have the choice out of all the lessons to become a perfect version of what you can become!
Astroniki says
Hi Carima,
Thank you for sharing your story! I really appreciate it and we all can learn from it! A precious piece of information.
Soon, in June there will be a solar eclipse on your Sun, I hope it will bring something amazing for you in regards to your career or life goals!
With all my love and hope, Niki
Lucie says
Greetings Nikola,
I personally have 22 degrees in Capricorn Chiron and I´m kinda worried since Chiron is pretty heavy aspect even with his massive healing qualities. I also heard that 25 degrees in Leo is pretty feared aspect (I´ve got this placement in ascendent)
I wondered – if it wouldn´t bother you- what you think of both of these degrees? I only recently tapped into degrees so I could use a few guidance points.
Thank you and I apologize in advance of my poor English.

brianna says
i have my sun in pisces at the 18th degree what does this mean

Hi Brianna, you can add the keywords that I listed for the 18th degree, which are Virgo analogy. Such as working a lot, be of service, helping others, health etc. 🙂
Christopher Hernandez says

Natasha says
Thanks for this!
I love Nikola’s work and I’m still learning how to fully interpret it.
What’s your take on 0 degrees Leo Sun?
Astroniki says
Hi Natasha, omg that is a triple whammy! Leo qualities 3 times. Which house it is located in btw? Sun is the primary career indicator and our true mission in life. So something to do with a leadership position, center-stage role, being in the public eye, etc. But it all depends on which house falls under the sign of Leo in your natal chart. Add the house’s domains to the keywords above. This is so exciting!!! Love, Niki
Anni says
Hi, my sun is also at 0 degrees Leo on the cusp, it’s located in the 10th house in cancer though, so it also rules my 11th
Astroniki says
Hey Anni,
omg that super strong Sun takes good care of the 11th house domains. Happy for you!
You can make your dreams and wishes happen. 🙂
With love, Niki
Kelly says
Haha not me reading this with my natal Saturn in my Capricorn 8th house at 22 degrees, along with my natal Mars, Uranus, and Neptune also in my Cap 8th house 😅
Really interesting, though!
Ana says
Hello there.
Just to let you know, the accuracy of this is scary.
I have Mars at 18° Gemini. Conjunct my Sun. So… male figures, emphasised, for sure.
And so far, I’ve had two boyfriends, both with Sun in the 22nd degree. One Taurus, one Scorpio. Exactly opposite each other.
The Taurus one had Sun conjunct Chiron, next to fixed star Algol. His father committed suicide, a gun shot to the head.
The Scorpio one has Sun conjunct Jupiter, in the 12th house, and he too lost his father. Don’t know how, tho, he never speaks about it (12th house Sun people! -_-)
The degrees are scary, is all I can say….
Ana says
Oh, and plus, the Scorpio one also has an aspect of Sun-Chiron, but instead of conjunct, is opposite the Sun.
So, both their fathers had a Chiron theme in their lives.
Astroniki says
Hey Ana, thank you for sharing your experince! With love, Niki
Angela says
I have 22 AC in Gemini, 22 Neptune in Sag. And 22 moon in cancer. (2nd house). Regarding my moon – my mom is Capricorn!
Lisbeth says
my venus is in virgo in the 18 degree. i don’t have any severe health issues that i know of though.
Astroniki says
Hi Lisbeth,
good news, happy to hear that! That’s a double whammy Virgo Venus. Just be super kind to yourself, and love yourself.
I believe to be a happy woman, one should master fulfil their Venus. My No 1. remedy for Virgo Venus is to have a beauty (Venus) routine (Virgo).
If you have more questions about your Virgo Venus, I’m always one mail away.
Kind regads, Niki
Ssj says
Hello I have Virgo Venus at 18degrees in 4th house Gemini ascendant conjunction with 29.55ketu south node.
Also mars 18degreea at 7th house.
jess says
my sun (libra) and moon (virgo) are in the 18th degree and it’s really freaking me out cause apparently i’m either connected to satan or will have a really bad illness and i don’t know how to handle this information
Astroniki says
Hi Jess,
please do no freak out. 18th degree doesn’t necessarily mean that the native will manifest the lowest possible-or the most negative scenario. Most of the time the native manifests at the 18th degree Virgo qualities. The fact that you are worried when you are reading this post, is the textbook manifestation of Virgo because Virgo rules worrying. I would recommend you to focus on the positive qualities of Virgo, which is helping others, being a clean-freak, having pets, eating clean, etc.
The purpose of astrology is not to scare anyone. You are definitely not doomed.
All the best, Niki
mlle says
Hello, can you tell me something more about my pretty important “18 & 22” conjuction? My Ascendent is at 18th of Scorpio and I have Neptun at 22th of Scorpio in the first house, conjunct my Ascendent. Looks like eing pretty heavy? How can I use this Energy in possitive afirmative way? Thx. 🙂
Astroniki says
Dear Mlle,
smart question indeed! First of all, aim to manifest the Scprio ascendant energy on the highest possible level, and the Neptune energy as well. I assume you are familiar with that, if not you can find articles on the psychology of Socprio and Neptune on my website.
Once you master your Neptune, miracles will happen.
About those degrees. Well, I always say develop some nice Virgo and Capricorn qualities (18th and 22nd degree) in order to manifest them on the highest possible level.
Hope I could help,
Kind reagrds, Niki
Allie says
Hi could you please tell me more about how I can use my Neptune (Aquarius 12 house) and my Jupiter (Scorpio 9th house ) in a positive way ? I would really appreciate it since their both in the 18th degree .
Sabrina says
Omg so I was trying to figure out what the degrees in my chart mean and I looked up my sun degree. This would be Gemini rising in the 1st house at the 22degree . This paragraph shook me hella Because my dad was a Capricorn and he passed away back in 2019 . Weird lol
Astroniki says
Hey Sabrina,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Unfortunately, the more negative manifestation of the 22nd degree is to lose someone, and Sun represents the father (or father figure) in the chart. But him being a Capricorn is also a literal manifestation of the 22nd degree. Thank you for your comment!
Wishing you all the best, Niki
Lexi Jackson says
In 2022, I have my solar return ascending at Libra at the 22nd degree which natally is my 4th house…should I be worried about my family in particular my mother?
Lexi says
She’s also a Capricorn sun.
Astroniki says
Hey Lexi Jackson,
NO. For something really bad to happen I always use the 3 indication rule. Which is the native needs to have 3 different indicator in the chart, by transits, progression or profection to something life-alerting to happen.
To be frank, I only use Solar return chart for profection to see, which house (area of life) is being activated.
with all my love, Niki
Lexi says

Maria says
I’m a virgo ascendant with 22.1 degrees. But i also have my second house in libra with 22.7 degrees. My forth house in Sagittarius at 22.8 degrees, my 7th house in Pisces at 22.1 degrees, my 8th house in Aries at 22.7 degrees and my midheaven in Gemini at 22.8 degrees. I have six placements with 22nd degrees and everytime i looked it up online it always said “to kill or be killed” often related as a placement of violence. So, it was nice to read about it since another perspective. Thank you!
Astroniki says
Dear Maria,
Can you identify with those energies?
Are you 100% sure that your time of birth is accurate? You know one or two minutes difference can indicate a 1 degree difference in the natal chart.
With all my hope and love, Niki
rahul says
omg how has life been like for you so far? i have four 22 degree placements, my mars in leo, venus in virgo, 4th house taurus and scorpio midheaven 9th house too. my mars square pluto as well. i dont want to kill anyone omg pls help 🙁 24/09/1998 16:09GMT.
Marissa says
I have an 18 degree Cancer sun in my 12th house and I think it shows because I’m an extreme perfectionist— especially in terms of being as kind as i can, so I’m hypercritical of any mistakes I make.
Astroniki says
Hey Marissa,
being a perfectionist can be super beneficial and you can achieve a lot with that. 🙂
Other positive manifestation of Virgo energy is being organised, eating healthy, maintaining a clean environment and helping others.
With all my love,
Niki
hollie says
i’m soooooooooo scared I have two 18 degrees in Mars and Jupiter
Astroniki says
Hey Hollie,
Do not be scared! Just develop more Virgo qualities on those areas of life, which are affected by Mars and Jupiter. Be super organised!
With all my hope and love, Niki
Sanjana Kashyap says
same im really scared i have 4 22 degrees. Capricorn in my third house, pisces in my 5th house, cancer in my 9th house, and virgo in my 11th house yall am i gonna die??
Nadin says
I have my Mars in Capricorn on the 22th degree in the 5th house. For some time I’ve been reading warning comments regarding this but I would like to have another explanation rather than traggedy in my family or with my kids. This frightens me.
Astroniki says
Hey Nadin,
Firstly, Mars in Capricorn is one of the greatest positions of all, especially if you have a night chart.
The 22nd degree is the Capricorn degree. Work in a Capricorn way, workout as a Capricorn would do, or do some typical Capricorn sports such as hiking.
For a more in-depth interpretation of your Mars in Capricorn, one must know which house is affected and the aspects. And whether you have a day or a night chart.
With all my love, Niki
Nadin says
Hmmm, I will try. However this advice can be difficuld to follow with my Sun and Mercury in Geminy.
About the placement: Mars is in my 5th house, and I was born before noon. I have only one aspect with Mars: Mars sextile Jupiter. What does this mean I should be carefull about?
jazmine says
hey i have an aquarius moon in 18 degrees what can that mean for me?
Amanda says
Hi, thanks for this info!! I have cap Neptune 22’59°, Pisces Saturn 22’51°, Virgo rising 18’50°. My Virgo is also conjucting my Saturn. I had an organ transplant so I’m hoping the health part is over with but do you know what the rest could indicate ?
Astroniki says
Hey Amanda,
Hope you are doing well health wise! As you said you have a Virgo Ascendant, hopefully the busy Aquarius house (now 4 planets are in Aquarius), which is your 6th house, brings you healing!
Neptune is your 7th house co-ruler in the 5th house, in Capricorn according to whole sign house system. It can indicate double Capricorn-like lovers/partners. Btw having Saturn in the 7th house also an indicator for a partner who has Capricorn character traits, again double Capricorn because 22nd degree is the Capricorn degree. Without seeing your chart I really do hope for you that the Saturn in the 7th house bring a long marriage. 🙂
With all my love, Niki
Elyse says
Great post! Now I’m so nervous lol! I have Uranus and Neptune both at the 18th degree, in the fourth house-Capricorn. Does it make a difference if they are outer planets? How would this manifest?
Astroniki says
Hey Elyse,
Smart question! Outer planets have an effect on our personality too.
In your case, Neptune and Uranus in the 4th house could manifest the most positive way if you either work from home or have a super organized and clean home.
With all my love, Niki
Nicole says
Hi, I also have Neptune in the 18th degrees, but it’s in Aquarius & the 11th house. I also have Leo sun in the 6th house at 25 degrees. Which I also heard it terrible. Along with Saturn in Leo, apparently that’s a really bad placement too. If it helps I also have Virgo in Chiron and Mars. All of this has made me very stressed and I feel like I am doomed. I am very worried that I am crazy, please help!!
Sherry says
I have Venus in Scorpio 22 9H. I also have mars 22 Virgo 7H
I have a question about getting the accuracy of those degrees. If Venus is 22.01 does that count as 22 degree or 23? Because I have Saturn at 21.40, so would that count as 22??
Additional question I have a synastry with someone who’s Jupiter is conjunct Sado and it’s conjunct my Venus at 22. Thoughts on that??
Thanks
Astroniki says
Hey Sherry,
Your Venus at 22.01 degrees counts as the 22nd degree and 1st minute. Your Saturn is at 21st degree. The minutes are important for natal chart rectification and for the slow-moving planetary transits.
For an accurate systray reading, more info is needed. In general Jupiter-Venus conjunction in systray is great for all Venus domains- if Venus is the stronger one- but it’s not a deal-breaker.
With all my love, Niki
KDean says
I have 18 degrees in My sun sign is Aquarius in the 9 th house. Also I have 22 degrees in sagittarius in my 6th house. What does that mean ?
Leia says
Hi I’m scared..
I found out I had 22’35’ degrees in my Mercury that I also have cancer in.
So Mercury in 22degrees in cancer.
What does this mean?
I’ve only read “to kill or be killed” and I’m littarly scared..
Astroniki says
Hey Leia,
Mercury is thinking, the lower mind and logic. It can manifest as you are a deep thinker, but also the emotions (Cancer) influence them. Or you measure your words (22nd degree= Capricorn) in communication.
With all m love, Niki
vee says
i’m literally SO scared rn i’m having a panic attack, my cancer moon is at 22 degrees in my 6th house please what does it mean? i’m already a hypochondriac i didn’t need this too 🙁
Astroniki says
Hi Vee,
Please do not worry about that placement. 6th house rules work, work environment, and having the ruler in that house, it means that the Moon will take good care of that house. Channel that soft and gentle Moon energy in your work. 🙂
With all my love, Niki
Jay C says
This was amazingly accurate. My mars is in Scorpio at 22 degrees and I lost my mother months ago-I will carry this pain forever (my moon is in Taurus 0 degrees which is critical). I appreciate your insight!
Astroniki says
Hey Jay C,
Im very sorry for your loss. Keep strong. I really hope life will give you beautiful blessings from now on.
I hope that exalted Moon in Taurus helps a lot in grieving.
Wishing you the very best! With all my love, Niki
Emma says
Ok this is scary. I have my mars in scorpio 22 degrees in 10th house. Does it mean my mom Will get sick? 😱
jd says
i have an aquarius moon in 18 degrees and it’s in the 11th house ): is this good?
Astroniki says
Hey JD,
Any planet in the 11th house is good. It’s one of the best houses of all. Moon there can make you gainful with Moon domains. And the 18th degree has many positive attributes.
One possible scenario: with (18th degree) with friends (Aquarius) at home or introduce the other domains of the Moon and you can be gainful(11th house).It has many possible manifestation though. 🙂
With all my love, Niki
Alyssa says

Fir says
Hi, is it bad that my Mars is in Virgo and it’s 18 degrees? I’m scared as hell!
Astroniki says
Hey Fir,
Do you have a day chart or a night chart? In the night chart, Mars manifests handsomely even in Virgo.
I would advise you anyway to make Mars manifests in your work. Mars in Virgo at the 18th degree is already a double-whammy Virgo energy and Mars there can give the best engineers, business people of all sorts. Mars there makes things happen.
With all my love, Niki
Ray says
I have 18* AC & DC. DC Jupiter in Pisces too so it feels like theres bo point in having jupiter in its home sign. I had so much expectations during my jupiter return & was heart broken when i didnt have any friends yet again when i thought this was the time. Learning about the degree is so depressing. Can you explain more on why & how it could be beneficial?
Berry says
I saw this somewhere and i conducted a research and i just found out that my Venus in Aqua is in 22 degrees.
Astroniki says
Hey Berry,
nice. You are having a Venus return soon. 🙂 Have fun on those days!

Guillermina Love says
Woah I have 22° Scorpio Mars in the 5th house, 18° Capricorn Neptune & Uranus in the 7th and a 22° Pisces MC.
Astroniki says
Hey Guillermina,
wow, that is a strong 5th house! If one has only a good 5th house (house of joy) that is already a good life, right? 🙂 I really do hope you have other great planetary placements.
With love, Niki
Lia says
Hello! This was a nicely written blog. I have Sun in Gemini at 18° conjunct Mercury in Gemini at 18°, with a Capricorn 2nd house at 22 degrees and Cancer 8th house at 22 degrees. I already felt like my whole chart in general was a mess, with so many oppositions, and had not given much thought to degrees before exploring Nikola’s degree theory, and now after stumbling upon it, it has made me so anxious! Makes you think you’re just destined to be a mess.
Astroniki says
Hey Lia,
I have great news for you! In June this year, you will have a solar eclipse on your Sun and Mercury, which will indicate very powerful new beginnings in your life. My other great news for you is that the 18th degree of Gemini is actually very beneficial as it is 2 degrees away from Rigel, the wealth indicator fixed star.
With all my love, Niki
Lia says
Hi Niki! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. That is all so very interesting, I had no idea of fixed stars! Best wishes, Lia x
kenn says
I was freaking myself out! I have placements at 22 degrees ( mercury, jupiter, uranus, and chiron) a lot of the information I’ve found online have mentioned the kill or be killed. do you have any resources I can read that can help me better understand? PLease and thank you!
Astroniki says
Hey there,
do not freak out, please. As I mentioned above there are many possible positive manifestations of those degrees. 🙂 Unfortunately, I don’t know if there are good sources of information online about this topic. I have my study notes and the results of my researches, which I’m planing to share.
with all my love, Niki
Brunna says
That thing has me concerning.
18 degree Lilith first house in Leo
22 north node 3rd house libra
22 part of fortune 10th house taurus
6 Neptune 8th house pieces
What would that be?
Thanks.
Astroniki says
Hey Brunna,
to interpret all of these planetary placements one must see the whole natal chart. I assume you are familiar with reading your chart, just add the basic meanings of those degrees to your interpretation.
With Love, Niki
Kerri Popovich says
Hello,
I have Jupiter in Scorpio at 22 degrees Natalya. My dad was killed when I was 14 and my mother died 29 years ago and I have grieved her ever since. Ihave lost my baby brother when I was 4. I have only my children left.
Deepika says
Hi Niki
I’m a bit worried as my son has 18 degrees Mercury in his first house Gemini and my daughter 22 degrees Jupiter in 12th house Sagittarius. What are your thoughts on this please?
Thank you Deepi 💕
Astroniki says
Hey Deepi,
Well, Mercury in Gemini at the 18th degree is an auspicious placement since it is in weak conjunction with Rigel a wealth indicator fixed star. If mercury is his best planet he can make a nice career/work out of it. And there are tons of Mercurian careers these days..:)
Having Jupiter at the 22nd degree in Saggi in the 12th house can be a great Sagittarius career indicator. Or the native should be isolated if work in those fields. Btw a strong Jupiter in the 12th house gives powerful guardian angels to the native. :))
I hope I could help! With all my love, Niki

I have Saturn at 18 degrees Scorpio in the 8th house and Mars at 22 degrees Capricorn in the 10th.
Life has been pretty painful but the older I get the the more painless it gets.
Astroniki says
Hey Melanie, wishing you all the best! Saturn and the Saturn ruled houses get much better with time. 🙂
Fleur says
i have 18 degrees uranus in the second house what does this mean ahah
Astroniki says
Hey Fleur,
To interpret that planetary position the whole natal chart must be seen. In general Uranus in the 2nd can indicate sudden incomes and sudden expenses. I would suggest adding a basic Virgo quality to your Uranus, which can be ie budgeting. Writing your incomes and expenses meticlously. 🙂 But the aspects, sign positions count a lot too.
With my love, Niki
Clara says
hi there! I have an 18 degree in venus, that is in Gemini, what does that brings to me?
Astroniki says
Hi Clara,
Venus in Gemini can give some excellent skills with the hands that you could possibly make a job out of it. This is a very general interpretation. For a specific reading, more details are needed, such as which house is your Venus located in, what aspects it has.
With all my love, Niki
Jessics says
Hi I have a Gemini Venus 18 degree in the 8th house?
Isabella says
Hi Niki!
I’m super worried bc I just looked through my cousins chart and her Rising sign is in Capricorn at 22 degrees.
Also it seems like her AC falls into 12th house, even though it should always be in 1st as I know.
She also has her moon in Aries at 0 degrees and Neptune in Aquarius at 15 degrees
I’m not that good in understanding all this I just got really worried about 22 degree bc of “kill or to be killed”
Thank you in advance,
Bella
Astroniki says
Hi Bella,
Are you sure that the Asc is accurate? I mean even a 1-2 min difference in the birth time can indicate a different Asc degree. Anyway, interpret it as a double Capricorn energy. And please do not be worried about it. MAybe your cousin has super strong Capricorn energy, which can be good too! 🙂
With all my love, Niki
nicole says
I have both the 22 degree and the 18 degree. My dad is a capricorn rising and my mum a virgo rising haha
Harry lola says
Hey! Love your site!
My Capricorn sun is in the 22nd degree and I’m not going to lie but that is scaring me lol
Astroniki says
Hi, super-strong Capricorn energy! Beneficial to be an authority one day. 🙂 Or just work your a$$ off..
With love, Niki
Ashley says
hii, I recently just found out about these degrees and it’s been making me kinda anxious… I have my Sagittarius mars in the 22º in my 8th house and Gemini Saturn in the 22º in my 2nd house. Should I be worried about that ):?
Astroniki says
Hi Ashley,
Please do not be worried about these degrees. If you can read your own chart, just add more Capricorn attributes to these planets.
With love, Niki
Jamie says
Mars 22 degrees Aries 8th house . With Mercury , Venus an Chiron
Nicole says
Hi there! It’s wonderful reading this blog based on another perspective. I kept seeing the kill or be killed situation which had me feel paranoid but reading your post has made me feel a little better about the 18 and 22 degrees! I have an 18 degree in Taurus Saturn 8th house and 22 degrees in Taurus Mars 9th house. I understand that I have an absence with my father figure as well and I always try to be peaceful but people would often start fights with me or if I were to travel and stay at the place long term, I would encounter the pandemic with xenophobia on Asians due to covid or civil unrest sort of situation (I’m currently in Minneapolis since 2-3 years ago). I struggle with managing my finances as well. I hope this helps and I am definitely in the process of feeling comfortable in places that are not as comfortable as they should. If you have any further interpretation on these placements, I’ll be looking forward to the reply!
Astroniki says
Hey Nicole,
so you have your Saturn and Mars in weak conjunction in Taurus, correct? You can make them manifest handsomely, by considering every step carefully before any action is taken. At work, you can carry great responsibilities and endurance. At a young age, this combination can feel like a limitation (in that specific area of life) but later you can manifest stability with that. Anyway, this aspect has a lot more other meaning while these planets rule 2-2 houses in the natal chart, which can become better with age.
With all my love, Niki
zaria says
this was such an interesting read, what’s your take on my badly aspected 22 degrees Saturn in the 12th house 🙂
Astroniki says
Hi,
in which sign is your Saturn? And which planets are aspecting it? If a friend of Saturn (Venus and Mercury) even that hard aspect can bring great results later. 🙂
With love,Niki
Hannah says
Hi! I’m wondering what it means to have your jupiter libra in the 18° as well as having your saturn cancer in 22°. Does that mean anything bad?
Astroniki says
Hi Hannah,
in which house are they located? And what aspects do they have? In astrology, every detail counts 🙂 btw there is a square aspect between them, which will become easier with time.
With love, Niki
Maggie says
Hi, Niki! I have the exact same as Hannah but also my Jupiter is in my 8th house while Saturn is in 7th. What does this mean?
Astroniki says
Hi Maggie,
Do you have your Jupiter at the 18th degree in 8th house and Saturn in 22nd degree in 7th house? Which signs?
Without having a look on your chart I would say about the 7th house Saturn that it must be a double Saturn influence, depends on the dignity of Saturn. It can have many general interpretations, such as a long-lasting marrige, working together with the spouse, a more mature or older spouse etc.
With love, Niki
mack French says
hi there!
I have gemini in saturn, 11th house, at the 22nd degree. Is there anything I should worry about? One site explained of a family with 22nd degrees being murdered… I am freaking out.
Astroniki says
Hi,
Without knowing more details I would say that when it comes to gains (11th house) you need to introduce Saturn domains or make a career out of your Saturn at the 22nd degree (Capricorn degree=career). Anyway, do not freak out. Focus on the more positive manifestation of that planet.
With love, Niki
hanah says
hi so my moon (taurus)is 22 degree and falls into my 10th house which is stems my aries stellium and my ceres is 22 and my jupiter is 18 degree in gemini which falls into my 11th house which also 11th house is gemini and im kinda freaking out and cried abit but if you can reply ASAP that would help a lot, Thanks ❤️
Astroniki says
Hi Hanah,
Moon in Taurus at the 22nd degree in the 10th house can be awesome! Someday it will manifest handsomely in your career and reputation. (Or maybe it already happened.) Do not freak out about the rest of your chart. If you have a day chart then Jupiter in the 11th house is at its best. Jupiter loves to be in the 11th house..
With all my love,
Niki
Kara says
My Sun is at 22 degrees Scorpio. My Dad was indeed a very hard working Capricorn. He also passed away very sadly and suddenly when I was 24 and he was 65.
Astroniki says
Hi Kara, I’m very sad to hear that! Thank you for your comment!
With all my love and hugs, Niki
Julie says
My moon is in Pisces 22 degrees in my fifth house. Does this affect my children!!!? Scary stuff!! My mother? Me? (my sun, venus, and mercury are in Pisces, too)
Astroniki says
Hi Julie,
interpret your Moon like this: which house does it rule? It carries the agenda of that house to the 5th house. what kind of aspects it has? And take into consideration that nice stellium in Pisces. You are a Pisces through and through, listen to your accurate intuitions, it will help anytime.:)
With all my love, NIki
Aly says
Hello! I just found out about the meaning of these degrees and looking on my natal chart I have an 18° Pluto in Sagittarius which sits on my 22° Midheaven in Scorpio 10th House. There are also 22° on other houses too, is it going to be destructive since it looks quite potent? Thank you so much!
Astroniki says
Hi Aly,
in order to know what these all mean, add Capricorn qualities (22nd degree) to your interpretation.
Btw to know the exact degree of the MC you must have an accurate time of birth. Is your birth chart rectified?
With all my love, Niki
nuja says
hi thank you so much for this article i have pisces venus in 22nd degree in my 7th house squaring pluto in my 4th. i would like to know more how this can play out for me positively? <3
Astroniki says
Hi Nuja,
What does Venus rule in your chart? (I mean where it is coming from? Because it carries the agenda of that house to the 7th house). If you interpret your Venus this way add Capciron qualities to it.
With love, Niki
ToyaJ says
I recently started researching on degrees and it’s relationship to astrology. I’m a bit lost with its interpretation though.
I’m a Leo sun with 22 degrees 44minutes in the 5th house. What does that mean for me?
Astroniki says
Hi Toya,
If your Leo Sun has no bad aspect then it is wonderful! Make a career out of 5th house domains, or be a leader figure in such a field. It must give charisma and a lot of joys for life. What about doing something creative? Or you might have a Leo child who will be a leader figure of sorts. For more specific interpretation I must see the whole chart.
With all my love, Niki
Ela says
I have both my moon in aries at 22 degrees (in my first house!) and saturn in leo at 22 degrees (in the 6th house). I am a little concerned, how can this double 22 degree thing affect me? My mom is somehow distant but its nothing catastrophic. I am sure not a workaholic😅
ela says
also the moon is oppositing sun and mars, trines pluto 😅 a little scary,i also have a 7th house stellium
Astroniki says
Hi Ela,
Does she show any kind of Capricorn traits maybe? 🙂
What about your career? As Saturn being one of the career indicators in the chart..
With all my love, Niki
Hadria says
I have 18° Gemini Moon.
My mother who is a Virgo rising has her Venus conjunct her ascendant in 18°.
Wow.
Luna says
hi Niki! it’s nice to meet you!
I recently discovered that I have a Virgo Venus in the 18th degree. does this happen to have any implications on my love life?
thank you so much!
Astroniki says
Hi Luna,
It surely has. Virgo Venus in a female chart is not a walk in a park at a young age… Until the native learns how to be equal in relationships, learns to accept herself, (stops criticizing herself), develops healthy self-worth, etc. Once the native learns these lessons she is able to maintain a loving romantic relationhsip. Having your Venus in Virgo at the Virgo degree is like a double whammy Virgo energy. The silver lining is that you can really make a work out of it. Anything that connected to women, the beauty industry, and even the financial field.
With all my love, Niki
Tori says
Yikes my Pluto is in Sag 4H 22 degrees. My dad got shot & killed . 😳
Astroniki says
Very sad to hear, I am sorry for your loss. Lots of hugs and love, Niki
Lilly says
Hi Niki I have Pluto in Scorpio 22nd degree 4th house.
And Mercury 18 degree cancer in 12th house . Bit worried, could you let me know what these means?
Seanice says
I have my Midheaven in Gemini at 18 degrees. Is that bad for my long term career? Also, very interesting article!
Astroniki says
Hi Seanice,
I don’t think that would harm your career or reputation. I have that too, my MC is in Capricorn at 18th degree. Without knowing anything about your career, and work what about considering it as to be of service of sorts? Or helping others?
With all my love, Niki
Caitlyn says
How would you interpret Pluto 22° of Scorpio in the 8th house?
Astroniki says
Hi Caitlyn,
Work in the 8th house fields, or channel that energy somehow into your work. (The whole chart should be considered.)
Another possible manifestation as 8th house is transformation and having Pluto there is a double whammy in your life, a lot of transformations happens but having Pluto at the 22nd degree means those transformations happen very slowly, step-by-step not all of a sudden.
Btw with 8th house Pluto it’s great to dive deep in astrology, in occult topics, in pscyhololy. They make those transformations happen easier.
With love, Niki
Abderrezak says
Please help me , what can i do with my situation? I ‘m losing my phd degree and this is my 3rd failure examination i underwent 🙁 ..my midheaven at 18.53 degree .also my 8th house start at 22 aqaurius..please help me to do any remedies.. Pleaaase
Astroniki says
Hi There,
Having difficulties with exams is indicated by the 9th house or the ruler of the 9th house is weak or weakened by other planets. Maybe there is Saturn, which requires repetition wherever it is placed. And titles such as PhD are under the domain of the 11th house. Check your 11th house or its ruler for further information.
I don’t think having the MC at the 18th degree is that bad, I have the same. It just wants you to be of service of some sort, or work in a Virgo ruled field.
Wishing you all the best with the upcoming exam!
With love, Niki
Sadani says
Hi Nikki,
I love your blog, it gives so much insight in simple points.
I just found out that I have 18.45° in my Leo venus in th 11th house. I can’t lie I have been struggling a lot since a young age, with self-esteem and others criticism and sometimes it’s hard to take, still to this (age 17). Do you think it’s an influence of this degree? And do you think it will get better?
Thank you so much again for the blog!!!
Astroniki says
Hi Sadani,
So you have your Venus in Leo at the 18th degree in the 11th house. Well, for self-esteem check your 2nd house, the planets in the 2nd house and also the 2nd house ruling planet. These will give you very accuarte understanding on your self-esteem and also on how can you “work” on it.
However, in female chart Venus represent also the self-esteem and slef-worth. Having your Venus at the Virgo degree, I assume you are way too critical with yourself. And since it is in Leo you want having a stunning look, don’t you?
I beleive the “challenge” with Leo Venus is be mindful of the real values, such as valuing kidness over appearance etc. What do you think? 🙂
With all my love,Niki
Siena says
Im new too astrology and very confused as to how to interpret my birth chart. I have 22 degrees in my third house which is Taurus and in my 9th house which Is scorpio. What does this mean?
Astroniki says
Hi Siena,
I would say firstly make sure that your time of birth is accuarte. Even a 1-2 min difference can indicate a different Ascendant degree and house cusps degrees, mind you. Once you are convinced that your time of birth is accurate you can interpret the house cusps degrees easily.
Having the 3rd house cusps at the 22nd-degree means add Capricorn qualities to the 3rd house interpretations/domains. You can find more info about the 22nd degree in the article above. And do the same with the 9th house too.
With love, Niki
Nicole says
I have a Virgo Venus at 22°. I’m very worried now and was wondering if you have any insight on what this may mean for me?
Astroniki says
Hi Nicole,
Well, Virgo Venus is not a walk in the park especially at a young age unless you channel your Virgo Venus in your work. I have seen many models’ chart and those who in the beauty industry having Virgo Venus.
Having your Venus at the 22nd degree means add Capricorn qualities, which point back to work/vocation/career. Mull over how could you channel that Venus Virgo energy in your work? That would have a beneficial influence on your private life too.
With love, Niki
Nicole says
Hi Niki,
Thank you! It is in my 8th house and I’m not very familiar with what that means. Do you have an idea of how that house placement affects it?
Shainna says
My Mars is in libra at 22 (2nd house) and my north node is in Aquarius at 22 (6 house) Leo south at 22 ( 12th house)…. that’s a lot of 22s.. any insights would be so appreciated you have no idea
Astroniki says
Hi Shainna,
One of the many possible interpretaion can be to spend money (2nd house) quickly (Mars) BUT having Mars at the 22nd degree means you’d better be careful with spendings and spend more slowly (22nd degree, Capricorn analogy). You can read more about the positive manifestation of the 22nd degree here: https://astroniki.com/22nd-degree-in-astrology/
With love, Niki
Rachel says
Hi, I have my sun in Taurus at 22 degrees and also my mars in taurus at 22 degrees both in my 10th house, I’m worried this means something negative about my career or finances or reputation. What would be your interpretation of this?
Astroniki says
Hi Rachel,
First of all, the Sun and Mars together can manifest handsomely, maybe a bit later in life. And having Sun and Mars in the 10th house means you are fairly motivated to achieve worldly success, “tangible success” (Taurus). Adding the meaning of the 22nd degree, you achieve your goals step by step by measuring every step, no fast rise to success (Capricorn).
This is one possible scenario. If you are a Leo ascendant and having the Ascendant lord in the 10th house is already a great indicator for career success. The degrees just add more “meaning” or deeper insight.
With love, Niki
Destiny says
hi! I really hope you’re still responding to these because I recently found out that 22 degrees was “kill or be killed” and I have 4 placements at that degree and it’s scary to me. if you could, can you please explain what these placements mean? thank you so much!!
I have 4 placements at 22 degrees:
my sun in cancer in 5th house
my rising in pieces
aries in my 1st house
Pluto in Sagittarius in 9th house
Astroniki says
Hey Destiny,
Oo these are a lot to interpret without having a look at the whole chart. The most important are your Ascendant and the Sun to interpret. Just add Capricorn qualities (22nd degree) such as hard work, slow progress, achievements, delays, etc.
With love, Niki
Destiny says
hi! I’m relatively new to astrology & really freaking out about the 22 degrees “kill or be killed” thing as I have 4 placements at 22 degrees:
Pluto in Sag, 9H
ASC in Pisces
Sun in Cancer, 5H
Mars in Aries, 1H
Could you please explain what these placements mean?
Nika says
hi Niki, nice to meet you!
i recently got into degrees and i was worrying so much because i have a Gemini Saturn in the 12th house, at 22° (it’s my only aspect in that house, while having True Node in 6° Gemini 11th house); i don’t know how to interpret this… i’d appreciate so much if you could help me out!
thank you so much for your article!
Astroniki says
Hey Nika,
Saturn is one of the career indicators in the chart and having it at the 22nd degree (Capricorn analogy) means you’d better channel that energy in your work. Being placed in the 12th house means your career can be connected to isolated places or far away places or working in solitude. Adding the flavour of Gemini means more than one career path. I hope I could help!
With love, Niki
Anna says
Hello.. my daughter have moon 22”47 in Gemini 12H , I’m scared what does it mean ? And plus I have 22”42 MC Capricorn AND IC cancer . What does it mean ? I’m scared
Nuria says
Ohh nooo I have my Midheaven in Scorpio at 22.37° What does this mean?? My sun is in the 6th (work) and I am a Capricorn rising and I feel Work is the most important thing in my life. Is my career dead ?? Lol XD
Astroniki says
Hey Nuria,
As a Capricorn rising that is absoluety ok to feel that. 🙂 And the Sun in the 6th house shohws many respobsilites and duties.
Having the MC at the 22nd degree wont break or make a career, it just adds a “flavour” if you will to the interpetation of the MC. I wish a ot of succes with your career!
With love, Niki
Ariadna says
Hiii! I have my moon in libra, 2nd house, 22.8 degrees. How could I interpret that? What does that mean?❣️
Astroniki says
Hey Ariadna,
Making money (2nd house) with Moon domains and make it as a career (22nd degree, Capricorn degree). This is one possible positive manifestation. 🙂
WIth love, Niki
Francese says
Hello, what about jupiter and saturn at 22 degrees?
Angel says
Hi niki! I’m super nervous about my chart because I do have my moon in Aries in the 22nd degree and it’s in the second house , I don’t really know if it’s a bad placement in particular but I did see we are having a new moon in Aries next week in the 22nd degree and I don’t know if that will possibly affect me more in that time too
Felice Caven says
I have 22 degrees in my sun (Aquarius) in my 6th house. And 22 degrees in my North Node in Leo in the twelfth house. What does this mean?!?!?!
Lyn says
I have my Uranus in Capricorn at the 22nd degree
Jessica Moore says
Hi nicki! My daughter is a Taurus moon at an 22 degree in the 11th house! You have any insight on that? Thank you!💕
Mony says
I have Venus in Virgo (1st house) at 18.50 degree and Neptune R in Sagittarius (4th house) 22.15 degree. What is the meaning behind that? I also have few houses and ascendant at 8 – Scorpio degree, I heard 8th degree also being critical since it belongs to Scorpio. I`m having health issues half of my life and I`m afraid what my life will be in the future. I`m 39 but can`t live fully because of my health issues. Hopefully some light will shine on my life too.
Lee says
I have the moon 18 degrees in Pisces and was very frightened when someone pointed out that 18 degrees is evil. Your blog article gives me some peace of mind. Thanks. I do have a critical mother and hope that is what it represents.
Will says
So I have my Venus at the 21 degree in the 12th house and my Pluto at the 22nd degree in the 12th house also both are Sagittarius. What does this mean. Also I have my taurus Mars at the 18th degree in the 4th house.
zeynep says
Hey I’m scared now 😢 I have MC in 22° 56′ Taurus and my 4th house starts at 22° Scorpio containing Pluto. Should I be worried 😟 ??
Zeynep says
I have the most beautiful and loving parents. But when I was a baby my father could be killed, had a threat to his life. But luckily that is a long gone threat, so I’m assuming it’s safe now. Am i thinking right ??
Lorraine Miller says
Just discovered this after years of study, very interesting. My Virgo Sun 18 degrees, conj. my Neptune @ 22, with Venus sandwiched in between @ 20, all part of my earth grand trine. My health has always been excellent, but my father died when I had my first Jupiter return.
Miriam says
Hi I’ve always been worried about this especially after finding I have Venus in Cancer at 22 degrees. I’m so worried that means something in regards to my mother’s life. I really hope not. I also have gemini rising at 18 degrees. Which is double mercurial. Not sure if that’s why I suffer from so many headaches.
Cy says
I have 18th degrees Neptune in my 7th house Scorpio. My longterm relationship ended in betrayal. I’m not sure if that’s a correlation. My daughter has 18 degree Saturn in her 2nd house Virgo.
aileen says
thats interesting because I have jupiter in pisces in 18 degrees in 7th house as the SNode and Virgo in 0 as Ascendant, the NN in 1st house. I have double virgo placements first and second house. But I don’t know if this would manifest badly or what it means, jupiter and venus (in 8th) is conjunct (both pisces) . Jupiter in 18th is also * my MC in taurus. And that its in the house of south node makes it interesting bc i am at uni and still dont want to have a relationship till now maybe after finishing😂
Ruchaa says
Hi my sun in Taurus is at 22°47′ in 12th house and reading above the article has made me very anxious.. I’ll turn 22 soon in a month and right now due to pandemic.. I am really worried.. Please help me out in understanding what i need to do?!..
Key says
I have a set of twins with their sun at 22 degrees of Scorpio; their father is a Capricorn. Interesting!!!
Jennifer Kahl says
Ascendant Leo 18°
Sun Sagittarius 22°
Moon Scorpio 22°
Mars Pisces 22°
Jupiter Sagittarius 18°
Lilith Libra 22°
My chart seems to have a repeating pattern 😬
Alyssa says
I have mars in 22 deg 3H scorpio and saturn in 18 deg 8H aries 🙁 kinda scared tbh is this really bad?
Alyssa says
I am however a Virgo rising 😭
Arda says
Hi dear Niki, I’ve read in the comments that any planet in 11th house is good; I have pluto in scorpio at 22 degrees, does that mean I’ll be killed in a massive attack or sth? My sun is Scorpio in 11th house (14 degrees) and my mom’s moon is in scorpio 22 degrees in 11th house. What all these similarities mean? I also have my Chiron in 22 degrees in Leo in 8th house. Seems like all related to death to me 🙁
thanks and have a lovely day.
Arda says
Also my Pluto squares Chiron; and Chiron squares my Sun.
Donna says
Hi Astroniki,
I have enjoyed reading your article and all of the comments.
I would be grateful to learn what your opinion is of my 18 degree conjunction placement. I hope I’ve given you enough information to make an assessment.
I have 1 degree Libra Sun in 12th House; 26 degree Scorpio Ascendant in 1st House; 13 degree Pisces Moon in 5th House.
My 18 degree 14′ 3″ Virgo Mercury (retrograde) and 18 degree 3′ 23″ Virgo Venus are conjunct at 18 degrees Virgo in my 11th House. My MC is 11 degrees Virgo 53′ 10″; Saturn is 23 degrees Virgo 44′ 42″; and South Node is 28 degrees Virgo 23′ 7″. My 18 degree Virgo Mercury/Venus conjunction in my 11th House is opposed by my 13 degree Pisces Moon in my 5th House; Quintiles my 29 degree Scorpio Mars in my 1st House; conjuncts my 23 degree Virgo Saturn in my 11th House; and Squares my 16 degree Sagittarius Chiron in my 2nd House. The Virgo influence has always been strong yet now, thanks to your article, I realize it’s even more powerful than I imagined. I would appreciate your insight as to how I can make the best use of this “influence” for the higher good of all. Best wishes and love to you.
filayda says
my sun, uranus and chiron in 22 degrees sun leo/ uranus aqu /chiron sag what would you think of these settlements? 🙁 sun in 1h, i think this about my death…
kawaiisushi04 says
my dad’s mercury in Cancer is at 22degrees and his jupiter in taurus at 18 degrees.is that bad ????????
Yassine says
Dear Niki,
Thank you for your insights and for sharing your beautiful knowledge, I’m a huge fan of Mr. Nikola and I had the honor to talk to him twice before he passed (he was a legend). I’ve been learning astrology for a while but I’m still quite confused about the degrees. My rising is at 18° of Sagittarius and my Sun is at 0° of Capricorn in the 1st House along with ( Mercury 5°, Venus 12°, Uranus 9°, and Neptune 13°) and my 2nd house Saturn 24°, Moon 25° and North Node 29° and I would love to hear what you have to say about it. Thank you
Taylor says
Hi, I am new here. I just found out about degrees today…and I am freaking out because I realized I have my Venus (7th house) in Scorpio at the 18th degree. I know that the 7th house deals with relationships…does this mean my love life is doomed. How can I turn this into something positive? Thank you so much
Jess says
I have my Venus in Capricorn at 22 degrees….. kind of scared right now lol. Any advice?
khloe says
i have it in mercury and venus. i thought it was a fame indincator because leonardo dicapro has it keke palmer and so mnay others! but then its was called the worst degree in astrology! but i think it has something to do with my cusp because my birth is december 23. lemme know what you think!!
Liza says
Hi Niki!
My venus is in 3rd house at 22 degrees gemini… what could this mean? my sun is in this house as well (sun at 16 degrees conjunct venus, sun conjunct 10H cap.) mercury (2H) semi sextile venus & venus bi quintile neptune cap. (10h) and my moon 12H pisces trine venus..
(sorry, just had to list the aspects for you to get a big picture) pls help!
Olivia says
Hi, great article,
I have the 22nd degree in moon (Pisces), according to some astrologers the moon symbolizes the figure of the mother in life. Unfortunately, my mother passed away and I had a very good relationship with her. I believe that the degree is not due to it is called “deadly”
Astroniki says
Hey Olivia, I am very sorry for your loss! I appreaicte that you you shared it with us. Is your Moon badly aspected by other planets, such as Pluto, satrun or the 12th house ruler?
With all my love, Niki
Lucy says
Hi Nikki,
Thank you for this article. I was having anxiety over the 18th and 22 degree. My Mars is 18 degree in Libra and my boy friend has Venus in Libra 18. Does it mean we are not good for each other? He also has moon in Leo 22 degree in his 9th house. I have Saturn in Libra 22 degree in my 7th house. Could you please give me some advice?
Malaysia says
Thank you for this article it definitely helped soothe my anxiety a bit. However I have Saturn in Aries in my 6th with an 18 degree. Does that basically mean i will have to experience a serious illness?
Justina says
My leo moon is at 22 degrees, ascendant in libra is also 22 what does it mean?
Kelsie says
Hi i’m Kelsie & thank you so much for this article! It was very informative, but I can’t seem to find any information about my 18 degree Taurus Midheaven which is also in the 10th house. If you have an opportunity and can help me with that, it would be great! Thank you!
Casey says
Hello!, I have my sun and mercury in 18th degrees, both capricorn, 3rd house. I also have my moon in gemini 8th house and scorpio ascendant. I’ve always said I attact bad luck,this makes alot of sense.
Armani says
I have Aquarius sun at 18, Jupiter Libra in 18 and Taurus Asc in 18… what does that mean!? Because I don’t want bad fortune in my life I don’t wanna be a failure or I don’t wanna be connected to demonic energy please help me !!!
Belén says
Hi hello um
I have my sun in the 22 degree .. in the 8th in the sign of Aquarius… so… yeah I’m scared.. just bc i have so many planets in this house… mercury, venus, jupiter and more all pretty much in conjunction.. also uranus being my ruler planet there, is overwhelmed seriously
My relationship with my father is so distant yes but we also respect each other so much to the point where absence is so common… if that makes sense.. i dont want to think him dying would make me gain some of inheritance
Astroniki says
Thank you for sharing!

I’ve gotten into astrology lately and I’ve been super nervous about having my moon in Virgo at 22 degrees in the 5th house Sagittarius! As I hear so many conflicting things I can’t help but to worry, being that 22 degrees is a Capricorn degree it makes sense that I have a Capricorn stellium in the 5th house of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. I Google and all I see is negative things about the 22 degree theory, I try to watch my thoughts and not manifest negativity but sis I’m worried per usual 🤦🏾♂️
Tiff says
Also my Moon is in the 2nd house, Virgo.. I just don’t know how to interpret it without thinking negatively
Yogesh says
My Capricorn sun is 18 degrees. Is it a bad thing ? People say it is the degree of strife ???
JoAnn says
Hello…thanks for a very interesting article. I am trying to understand a transit going on now with the new moon in Cancer @ 18 degrees. This transit conjuncts my natal Uranus 18 deg in Cancer in the 7th house and opposes my Chiron in Capricorn @ 18 deg. Can you give me an interpretation of this position. thank you
Claire says
Hi Niki,
Does this 18/22 degree apply to just the planets of the chart or it can also apply to the house cusps? I have 22 degree Cancer Ascendent and that applies to my Capricorn 7th house cusp but none of my planets have the 18/22 degree. What difference does the degree on the planets and house cusps make?
Rahul says
Hi!!!

venus in virgo is at 22.07′ (VIII house),
4h in taurus at 22.44′,

Pluto is also in midheaven! I’m so sad, me and my mom have been so stressed over this, we wake up with a heavy heart everyday. I’ve experience so much trauma so far, nothing bad bad cos im still here haha, but its got me so worried, why do i have so many 22 degree placements? who knows, but what could they mean/what do I do? kinda want to book a one way flight to become a monk lol 🙁
Angela says
I am really curious about this bc after the tragic event I went through with my kids dad that was battling an addiction and became violent it has inspired me to learn about my chart, his chart, and our kids charts. Him and I both have 22 degree in our 3H. I am a Leo sun, Libra moon, Gemini rising. I have my sun in 22 degrees in Leo as well as my north node in this house. He is a Libra sun, Libra moon, and Libra rising. He has Uranus in 22 degrees in Sagittarius. If I had been knowledgeable about our chart before this violent tragic incident I’m wondering if this event could of been prevented?!?!?
Monica says
Hello!
I have just discovered Nikola Stojanovic – famous astrologer from Belgrade/Serbia. Sadly he passed away, so I can no longer ask him about my natal chart. Maybe you could help me with some advice.
I have:
Sun in Saggittarius 18 degrees
Uranus in Saggittarius 22 degrees
North Node in Aries 18 degrees
What does that mean!?
My ascendant is Virgo 19 degrees
Gina says
I have my libra jupiter in the tenth house at the 18th degree. My libra Jupiter also appears to be my chart ruler. what does this mean for me? i’m kinda scared
Caley Kilmartin says
I know you said not to be concerned but I just found out that my Uranus is 22 in Capricorn (3rd house) and my Jupiter is at 18 in Scorpio (1st house). My Jupiter also sextile my Uranus.
The 22 degree rings true to me because my father is emotionally cold and distant as well as a workaholic. My brother (3rd house siblings) also had a serious brain illness and almost died at a very young age.
What I am concerned about is my Jupiter at 18 in Scorpio (1st house). Since Jupiter is the planet of luck and 18 brings bad fortune and 1st house is to self, I feel like I am walking down an eminent path of self destruction? Or illness? Or maybe I am an unlucky person? I cant seem to find a silver lining here… Help!
Gisel Preciado says
Hi! I’m getting into astrology and have a 22nd degree in Venus in Leo in my 1H. Do you think I could hear your take on this?
8th house bender says
8th house sun in Taurus 22.31 degrees – my dad died when I was 4 years old.
8th House Bender says
8th house sun in Taurus 22.31 degrees sextile mars and minor hard aspect to pluto – My dad died when I was 4. When I was a kid(middle school) I was convinced I was going to be murdered at some point in my life.
Tiffany says
Moon in the second house at 22 degrees… I’ve been studying astrology but not quite sure how it applies to me and don’t want to conjure up any negativity in my life. Is that a bad placement.
CJ says
Hi Nikki,
I’m trying to solve a cryptic poem.
I actually made progress with the info above- the 22nd degree in regards to world events.
Thanks for the info.
Iva says
Hi Niki,
Thank you so much for your comforting words and explanation.
Once I heard what Nikola said about 18 degree I was confused because of the placement in my chart.
I do not think that my 18 degree is “evil”… however, I do not understand how to work with it, because it is in 11th house.
So, I would appreciate a lot your answer, at least to tell me how to understand position… to connect the “dots” – Thanks!
18 degree Mercury XI house, II house Virgo without planets.
Astroniki says
Hi Iva,
Start interpreting that planetary placement with having the money house ruler (2nd house) in the 11th house, auspicious position for gains and finances in general. And the 18th degree (all the Virgo analogy) use as additional information. How could you “use” it in your job? Or how could you apply it for your finances, investments?
With love, Niki
Iva says
Hi Niki,
Thank you so so much!!!
To be honest, I was thinking about how to use that energy but your questions prompted me to think about how to use it in my business, which is mostly online and involves a large number of people. Evenmore, my MC cusp is in Aries in 9th house, and I’m still trying to figure out how to make more money 😉
Wish you all the best!
Thanks once again!
love, Iva
Mindymore says
Hi, today i read about the 18degree, rare diseases, illness with no cures,…
i have Moon in Scorpio 18°03’ – 9th house
I have a rare muscle disease that makes me slowly an invalid, because it’s rare nobody can tell me more about the specific course it will go, and diabetes type 1, (also incurable), no astrologer could ever tell me something about my health situation. Maybe here?
ThankYou
Krissye says
Hi
My daughter has Jupiter and Venus at 22 degree in Capricorn 8th house, conjuct Moon 25 degree. Are these planets bring then positive if 22 degree?
She has Uranus 18 degree Pisces in 10th house (conjuct my Sun at 17 degree).
She fights a lot with all of us-mostly with me (she is a teenager). She has Sun, Mars Mercury conjuct in Sagittarius.
What is your take on these placements?
Thanks!
Elizabeth says
This is interesting. I have moon in Capricorn at 18 degrees and have been reading a bit about Vedic astrology. They say the placement of Jupiter here is debilitated and that Capricorn represents the husband if you are female. My marriage to a Virgo moon (moon is used in Vedic) who is also a Virgo Ascendant has been an unqualified DISASTER. If I told you the details you would be completely horrified. So, seems pretty accurate to me? Do you do readings? 😅
LifePath13 says
Thank you Niki… I was actually blown away by the accuracy here… I have Mars in Aries 22° in my 5th house(romances, relationships), which is already Aries 8°. My ex, who so far has been my only real love experience in life passed away 6yrs ago. I have literally grieved him every year since, to the point of depression and weight loss, isolation, etc. I’ve been single every since. He was also an Aries Sun… So my Neptune in Capricorn 18° placement in my 2nd H(Sag 27°) is a bit concerning… I’ve been warned abt it relating to lung health issues. I used to have severe asthma as a child, but not sure if that has relevance in my future. *sigh The blessings still be abundant. Gratitude to the creator. Love and healing to everyone with these placements
Laura says
Is there any significance to
my Gemini moon being at 18°
my daughter’s Gemini rising at 18°
my son’s Gemini 12th house at 18°
their dads Gemini 4th house at 18°
Joseph Burns says
Sun in Pisces at 18
Ascendant in Virgo at 6
& Im miserable
Phoenix the Elder says
I have an 18-Degree Scorpio Rising, and yes, its a very difficult placement as the Serbian has said, but it’s also the special Degree of Magic in the Rising Sign which is its positive side. Traditional Magicians know that the 18th degree is special too. I made a vow when I was young, never to practice magic or paganism this lifetime and I was very intuitive about this.
I have Pluto in Virgo conjunct the Midheaven and as the Chart Ruler, its been a benefactor and has saved me from many death quite often as a dreamer (last level of a shaman) and exorcist. It didn’t help that my North Node conj Jupiter/Neptune is in Scorpio in the 12th house. I have seen all of the mystery and all the things hidden that are dark, and also some great benefits of my life being saved from the darkness in my journey of self-healing in very intense ways. It’s as if shadow people and people up to no good, appeared out of nowhere, so I could pay all my karma, and its for lifetimes; which has been my life’s goal when it became apparent that this type of life was not going to stop.
Everyone I have met this lifetime, who has knocked on my Ascendant Doorway, I have had to deal with in a very plutonian or scorpionic karmic way. Now that my lifetime (40 years) of paying that debt as an adult is completed (2020) I now I get the Magical qualities of the 18 degrees of Scorpio RIsing. And it is truly magical. I’ve had thousands of mystical experiences that came to me because its my rising sign, and a lifetime of learning important lessons of birth, transformation, death and rebirth. Now i am completed and so looking forward to my life as an elder.
Özge says
hi, my north node is 18⁰ in capricorn and in my 12th house. Since the north node is in the 12th house, I was wondering what you were doing. Neptune and Uranus are also there
J says
What about both degrees in a natal chart in three different positions? Natal Sagittarius sun at 22 degrees squaring Mars in Pisces 22 degrees, natal Jupiter in Sagittarius at 18 degrees. Capricorn mom died young, no relationship with Virgo father (Saturn in 4th house in Gemini opp. Scorpio moon). Extreme difficulty and grief dominant throughout life despite immense effort to function better within it.
Amy says
My Ascendant is in Aquarius on the 18th degree and I have the worst life of anyone I’ve ever known – so I think there is something to the reputation. It’s a 9 – in numerology, that is also the worst, which is also my life path number. 22, on the other hand, is a master number which may be why there are some positive aspects to this degree.
Emrys Truong says
I have both lol….grand trine Mercury at 18 degrees Capricorn 2nd house trine Jupiter at 22 degrees Taurus 6th house trine MC Virgo.
Rachel Dockery says
Hi, I’m new to all this but I have Uranus in my own sign of Lubra at 22° And Chiron in Virgo at 18°. Plus both me and my twin have 29° placements, mine being Neptune in Scorpio.
He died last year, he was murdered. We had separated. The pull is incredibly strong and its like nothing has changed. I doubt it ever will. I am no longer grieving for him as such but the connection. It is by far the strangest and saddest thing I’ve ever experienced .
Kris says
Hello what about 18 degrees IC 4th house and 22 degree Sun in Capricorn 7th house?
Thank You
tian says
I have my sun, ascendant, and 7th house in 22 degrees – all in scorpio aside from my taurus rising. My dad did die when I was a kid!
void says
hi! I just found this article and I am curious. I have natal Sun in Libra 22° (6th house) squared by Neptune in Capricorn 22° (10th house). The sun is also squared by Uranus in Capricorn, but this one is in 26°. What I would like to know is if you have any insight to give on this situation going on here, considering this article.
Some additional information regarding my sun is that it is squared by my moon in Cancer 23° (4th house).
I also have Sun conjunct North Node and squared by MC.
I think that it can be considered for my Jupiter in Saggitarius (8th house) 13° to be sextiling my sun, but it might be a minor aspect, it doesn’t show up sometimes in charts.
Just like this one, I have easier placements in my Natal chart, my Sun just gets a lot of challenge I guess 😅 don’t want to paint a doomed fate for my chart here aha
idil says
i have 12th house pluto with 22 degrees in my chart what can this means? also my sun trine to my pluto, my moon trine to my pluto,my mc sextile to my pluto,my north node trine to my pluto but my venus square to my pluto i’m scared to be kill or killed.
Astrology Girlie says
ALL DOCTORS AND ASTRONAUTS HAVE 18 AND 22 DEGREES IN THEIR CHARTS!!! It is not a bad thing at all!!!
Phoenix says
I have an 18-Degree Scorpio Rising with a Pluto in Virgo at 1-degree conjunct the 28 Leo Midheaven. Pluto has been my benefactor and lifesaver and has saved me from death quite a few times because it’s Trine the Ascendant. It has also brought deadly wrath to those who have tried to hurt me. Everything that knocks on my door in life is that 18-degree front door and it’s a fated training as a shaman and exorcist. So definitely yes it’s bad luck, attracts the dark, and can bring death (when the rising is in Scorpio). But it also teaches one to overcome all fears.
Astroniki says
Thank you for sharing your precious experience!
All the best, Niki
Elles says
Great website with interesting content! 🙂
I wonder if someone has a Venus on 17°45 degrees, is it considered as the 17th degree ?
Astroniki says
Hi Elles, Yes it is still the 17th degree.
Love, Niki
Vicky says
I have my sun in 22 degrees aries. My father was Gemini 6 degree had aphrodite in 18 degrees cancer and Zeus 23 degrees cancer and Neptune 29 degrees virgus. He died 1999 into six months from cancer. His sudden death was the reason to study astrology 22 years already especially medical astrology. I would like to thank you especially for this information. You are a treasure.
Astroniki says
Thank you Vicky for sharing your precious experience! And thank you for your kind words, it made my day!
