A separate, older picture survives for this degree too. 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 the 1925 Balboa Park session between Marc Edmund Jones and the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler that produced the material now generally read through Dane Rudhyar's 1973 restatement. For this degree Charubel gave only one word, a balloon, another of his shortest entries, a single object rising rather than a full scene. That entry sits alongside two older technical facts already carried by this degree.
Vettius Valens, writing in Greek around the year 175, divided each sign into three planetary faces, and this degree stays in the third, ruled by the Sun rather than by Mercury, Gemini's own planet, while Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos now moves this degree into Saturn's bound, the finer division parting further from the decan above it. Neither writer pictured anything, only assigned a ruling planet. The first complete pictorial set for all 360 degrees survives whole in 1494, in Johannes Angelus's Latin Astrolabium Planum, safely public domain but never freely translated into English. In practice, this degree is mostly used to time events through progressions or synastry.
