A second, older picture also exists for this degree. Charubel, the pen name of the Welsh minister and astrologer John Thomas, gave nearly every one of the 360 degrees an image in 1898, decades before Marc Edmund Jones and the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler produced the material now generally read through Dane Rudhyar's 1973 restatement in 1925. For this degree Charubel gave only one word, a stile, one of the shortest entries in his book, a picture of a small, deliberate step built to cross a boundary rather than to remove it. That picture is independent of, and older than, the technical facts already recorded here.
Vettius Valens, writing in Greek around 175, divided each sign into three planetary faces, and this degree opens Taurus's third decan, ruled by Saturn rather than by Venus, while Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos keeps this degree under Jupiter's bound still, the finer division not yet matching the decan above it. Neither system pictured anything, only ruled it. The first complete run of individual degree pictures for all 360 points survives whole in 1494, in Johannes Angelus's Latin Astrolabium Planum, safely public domain though never freely translated into English. Practically, a degree fixed this closely is mostly used to time events through progressions or to note charts sharing it in synastry.
