Marc Edmund Jones assembled this degree, along with the other 359, from a 1925 sitting with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler in Balboa Park, San Diego, drawing all the cards at random so nothing could be anticipated. His 1953 book set the images down for the first time. The interpretive language read today, however, belongs to Dane Rudhyar's 1973 An Astrological Mandala, still in copyright, and it is not quoted on this page.
Counting from Taurus's start, this is the sixth degree, placing it in the sign's first decan. Its decan is ruled by Venus, Taurus's own planet, reinforcing rather than complicating the sign's usual character. The term ruler here is also Venus, so the finer division agrees with the decan rather than adding a separate voice. There is an independent image for this degree from 1898, decades before the Sabian set existed. Charubel's book puts it this way: a large elliptical figure on the ground, and a man standing upright within.
Taurus follows Aries by slowing the pace down into something that can be held, built and kept. Read this way, the degree is less a fortune than a location: a specific point in Taurus's arc, with its own decan and term layered on top. Element and quality carry through every degree of Taurus: it is a fixed earth sign, and this degree inherits that basic temperament even as the decan and term add their own note.
