It falls in the first decan of Aries (degrees 1 to 10), and is Aries's seventh degree. Its decan is ruled by Mars, Aries's own planet, reinforcing rather than complicating the sign's usual character. The narrower term division belongs to Venus, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. As the first fire sign, Aries favors the direct move over the considered one, a readiness to act that has not yet learned patience.
A picture for this degree also survives from 1898, from Charubel's own independent series, published a generation before Jones's. He recorded a large forest of big oaks; no underwood; all is clear beneath; hence a spacious vista presents itself, affording plenty of scope for wandering. 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 Aries's broader arc.
