It falls in the first decan of Scorpio (degrees 1 to 10), and is Scorpio's fourth degree. Its decan is ruled by Mars, Scorpio's own planet, reinforcing rather than complicating the sign's usual character. The term ruler here is also Mars, so the finer division agrees with the decan rather than adding a separate voice. Scorpio is fixed water, intensity held under pressure rather than let out, concerned with what lies beneath a surface.
Charubel, the pen name of the Welsh astrologer John Thomas, catalogued an image for every degree in 1898. His entry for this one describes the double triangle. This is one of the 360 degree images that Marc Edmund Jones obtained in 1925 by drawing blank cards, shuffled at random, while the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler described her impressions in Balboa Park, San Diego. Jones's own account followed in 1953, but the version generally read today is Dane Rudhyar's, published in 1973 as An Astrological Mandala; that later text is under copyright until 2069 and is withheld from this page rather than quoted. None of this is meant as prophecy; it is a way of describing where, precisely, this degree sits inside Scorpio's larger pattern. Element and quality carry through every degree of Scorpio: it is a fixed water sign, and this degree inherits that basic temperament even as the decan and term add their own note.
