THE SEVENTEENTH DEGREE
Of all the degree numbers that planets can be in, the 17th degree of each sign is, I feel, one of the most unusual. According to Kabbalah the number 17 is ruled by Venus, and so the 17th degree of each sign is its Venus degree.
It seems to me that the 17th degree of a sign is on a quest for value – that is, is trying to find out the value of the sign its in. 17 has a feeling of never being satisfied with the surface. It is always looking deeper, and even when it finds something deeper it is always feeling there is something deeper yet to find. What 17 is looking for is the Spiritual Light hidden in each sign.
- Venus’ Influence:
In Kabbalah, the number 17 is linked to Venus, which governs values, beauty, and relationships. This association suggests that the 17th degree of any sign will be concerned with understanding what is truly valuable within that sign’s domain. - Deeper Exploration:
Unlike the superficial or surface-level understanding of a sign, the 17th degree seeks to delve into its core meaning and essence. It’s not satisfied with just knowing the basic characteristics but strives to uncover the deeper spiritual truths hidden within. - Unsatisfied Curiosity:
This degree is characterized by a sense of perpetual curiosity, always feeling that there is more to learn and understand. It may struggle with feeling complete or satisfied with surface-level knowledge, constantly pushing for deeper insights. - Spiritual Light:
The ultimate goal of the 17th degree is to discover the “Spiritual Light” within the sign, suggesting a quest for higher understanding and enlightenment related to the sign’s qualities.
