A little bit of help with degrees?

[horneekupcake]

Okay, so I've been trying to work with/understand my own natal chart for the past few years, on and off, since first "accidentally" stumbling across Azazel's Astrology for Zevists page one night when searching for a more detailed/accurate version of astrology than the mainstream b.s. that kept popping up in the usual search(es); only just this year/late last year getting much more serious about learning (real) astrology. And I'm trying to better understand the significance of degrees/fixed stars in placement of natal planets.

My question is this: I know that it says that 13 & 26 degrees of Cardinal signs "give special importance to planets or house cusps OCCUPYING these degrees". But if one has a planet that is not EXACTLY on the degree but is only a few minutes off from being on that degree, does the above mentioned still apply, just to a lesser extent than if it were literally ON that degree??

Thanks in advance!
Ave Zeus/LUCIFER !!!

A planet or house cusp does not need to exactly be on a particular degree to still be affected. A planet or house cusp can be well into the degree and still be affected. For example, a planet can be at 26 degrees 30 minutes and will be affected.

Okay, I was just wanting to make sure I fully understood before I just started assuming things. Now I can work even more thoroughly on my chart. Thanks a lot!
