In 1925, working with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler in Balboa Park, San Diego, Marc Edmund Jones drew all 360 of these degree cards blind and recorded her impressions on the spot. His book appeared in 1953. What most readers now quote, however, is Dane Rudhyar's 1973 reinterpretation from An Astrological Mandala, a text still protected by copyright and therefore not reproduced on this page.
Counting from Gemini's start, this is the third degree, placing it in the sign's first decan. Its decan is ruled by Jupiter rather than Mercury, which colors the degree with something Gemini does not supply on its own. The narrower term division belongs to Mercury, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. A picture for this degree also survives from 1898, from Charubel's own independent series, published a generation before Jones's. He recorded a tremendous Corinthian pillar, with a large amount of earth, buildings and rocky ramparts resting on it, and which appears to be the only support of the massive superstructure. Gemini is the zodiac's first air sign, occupied with contact, exchange, and the quick traffic of information between people. Taken together, the position, the decan, and the old image give this degree a specific character within Gemini rather than a generic one.
