A Fixed Star

Counting from Pisces's start, this is the tenth degree, placing it in the sign's first decan. Its decan is ruled by Saturn rather than Jupiter, which colors the degree with something Pisces does not supply on its own. The narrower term division belongs to Venus, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. As the final sign, Pisces gathers what came before it and lets the edges between things blur. There is an independent image for this degree from 1898, decades before the Sabian set existed. Charubel's book puts it this way: a fixed star.

A transcendental Sun. It sheds a halo of supernal glory on the ascendant. Marc Edmund Jones drew this degree, with the other 359, from a shuffled deck in 1925, working with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler in Balboa Park, San Diego. His own book was not published until 1953. The version most often repeated since, though, is Dane Rudhyar's 1973 restatement in An Astrological Mandala, copyrighted material that this page does not reproduce. None of this is meant as prophecy; it is a way of describing where, precisely, this degree sits inside Pisces's larger pattern. Element and quality carry through every degree of Pisces: it is a mutable water sign, and this degree inherits that basic temperament even as the decan and term add their own note.
