A Place of Amusement with Music, Dancing, and Singing

Counting from Aries's start, this is the twenty second degree, placing it in the sign's third decan. Its decan is ruled by Venus rather than Mars, which colors the degree with something Aries does not supply on its own. The narrower term division belongs to Mars, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. Aries opens the zodiac with unmediated initiative, action taken before it has been talked over or shaped by circumstance.

Charubel, the pen name of the Welsh astrologer John Thomas, catalogued an image for every degree in 1898. His entry for this one describes a place of amusement with music, dancing, and singing on the programme. A very large ball-room. 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. None of this is meant as prophecy; it is a way of describing where, precisely, this degree sits inside Aries's larger pattern. Element and quality carry through every degree of Aries: it is a cardinal fire sign, and this degree inherits that basic temperament even as the decan and term add their own note.
