The degrees mentioned below should be perceived with great care, having something on this degree won’t necessary mean that one will die in a violent way, but this overview could help in further study and understanding.
It’s especially prominent when the Ascendant is on one of these degrees.
When the Sun or midheaven is on such degree it also becomes more ‘significant’.
Sometimes it’s within an orb few minutes of one of these degrees (1 degree difference possible)
It’s important to consider the strength, if it’s afflicted the fatal degree could become more prominent.
The natal chart should indicate sudden/violent/unnatural/… death before making any judgements.
