Just a quick update for Part II of the Cancer 1 decan. The most notable manifestation of the Cancer 1 decan has been many sightings of baby animals. During this decan I’ve seen a baby fawn, a family of baby skunks, many, many, baby turkeys, baby rabbits, baby turtles, and a nest full of baby […]
Welcome to the first decan of Cancer, the start of summer here. The Solstice, marking the Sun’s entry to the decan and the start of this Cardinal sign hinge point of the year, was at 10:42 PM EDT last night here, to this is a few hours late. But on the very last day of […]
Not much to update for Part II of the Gemini decan 3 Ruin experience, except I did experience a pretty lousy mental mind-state at one point. Really negative, in a way I haven’t been in a while. Some of the old “not-good-enoughs” cropping up, and some FOMO, and feeling left out of some things. Fears […]
Images and text © 2021-2025 M.M. Meleen. Already here to Gemini decan 3? Gemini decan 2 flew by! The image above is the original line drawing for the Ten of Swords, known as the Lord of Ruin. Cadent or declining decan of Gemini. Gemini is ruled my Mercury; decan 3 is ruled by the Sun; […]
This is the Part II update for the Gemini 2 decan, for the Nine of Swords. The image above does not do the scene justice, but shows just a small section of a large flock of these yellow and black swallowtail butterflies encountered on a bike ride. There were tons of them, all clustered in […]
Our decan walk enters Gemini decan 2, with the Sun’s passage through ten to twenty degrees of Gemini. The tarot card shown above is from Telos Tarot of 777, for the second decan of Gemini, known as the Lord of Cruelty. Crowley’s 777 gives the decan image description as “An eagle headed man, with a […]
We are now most of the way through the Gemini 1 decan, which corresponds to the Eight of Swords, Interference, so some Part II updates on the ways this decan has manifested so far are in order. To recap, Gemini and Eights are Mercury ruled, the Gemini 1 decan is Jupiter ruled. The first few […]
Crowley’s 777, roughly based on the Picatrix description, gives us a great image to work with for Gemini decan 1: “A beautiful woman with her two horses.” TWO: Gemini. HORSES: Jupiter, ruler of the decan. Some inspiration for this illustration was also drawn from Ibn Ezra, who says that the beautiful woman is “standing in […]
This is Part II to the Decan Walk post for the third decan of Taurus and the Seven of Disks, introduced in Part I. As of today we are about 85% through this decan. Though the Seven of Disks is called “Success Unfulfilled” or “Failure,” there have been no real failures to report as of […]
Taurus decan 3, in which warm and loving Venus is frustrated by cold indifferent Saturn…”Phase I, in which Doris gets her oats.” The image described in Crowley’s 777 for Taurus decan 3 is a challenging one: “A swarthy man with white lashes, his body elephantine with long legs; with him, a horse, a stag, and […]
