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 Gemini's start, this is the sixth 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. Before Jones and Wheeler ever met, the Welsh astrologer Charubel had already published a complete set of 360 degree images in 1898.
For this degree, his book pictures a promiscuous lot of creatures, consisting of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Gemini is the zodiac's first air sign, occupied with contact, exchange, and the quick traffic of information between people. Read this way, the degree is less a fortune than a location: a specific point in Gemini's arc, with its own decan and term layered on top.
