Before Jones and Wheeler ever met, the Welsh astrologer Charubel had already published a complete set of 360 degree images in 1898. For this degree, his book pictures a number of quadrangular figures, consisting of straight lines forming an oblong square, with two triangles on the top. It appears to assume the form of a cube. Counting from Gemini's start, this is the fourteenth degree, placing it in the sign's second decan. Its decan is ruled by Mars rather than Mercury, which colors the degree with something Gemini does not supply on its own.
The narrower term division belongs to Venus, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. Every degree in this set, including this one, comes from a single 1925 sitting: Marc Edmund Jones and the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler, in Balboa Park, San Diego, drawing 360 blank cards in random order. Jones's book appeared in 1953, but it is Dane Rudhyar's 1973 reinterpretation, An Astrological Mandala, that is generally quoted today, and its copyrighted wording is withheld from this page. Gemini is the zodiac's first air sign, occupied with contact, exchange, and the quick traffic of information between people. What a degree reading offers here is orientation rather than forecast, a way of naming exactly where in Gemini's cycle a person or moment sits.
