What do the degrees on a birth chart mean?
The zodiac is a circle of 360 degrees split into twelve signs of 30 each, and a planet’s position is written as how far into its sign it is. 14°32′ Taurus means fourteen degrees and thirty-two minutes past the start of Taurus. The number matters because aspects are measured from it: two planets at the same degree of different signs are in a precise relationship, whatever their signs.
