An Extensive Plain on Which a Dense Fog Hangs, but the Fog

It falls in the first decan of Pisces (degrees 1 to 10), and is Pisces's seventh degree. Its decan is ruled by Saturn rather than Jupiter, which colors the degree with something Pisces 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. Pisces closes the zodiac as mutable water, willing to dissolve a boundary that Scorpio would have defended.

A separate nineteenth century source gives this degree its own picture. Charubel's 1898 sequence, unconnected to the later Sabian material, records an extensive plain on which a dense fog hangs, but the fog is low and there is sunshine above. This degree is part of the set Marc Edmund Jones recorded in 1925 with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler, in Balboa Park, San Diego, all 360 cards drawn blind and in random order. Jones published the images in 1953.

The interpretation now in wide circulation, though, is Dane Rudhyar's from 1973, not Jones's own text, and Rudhyar's wording stays under copyright and off this page. The value of a degree like this is less in prediction than in placement, a way of locating a moment precisely inside Pisces's broader arc. Element and quality carry through every degree of Pisces: it is a mutable water sign, and this degree inherits that basic temperament even as the decan and term add their own note.
