The wording that circulates for this cycle of 360 degree symbols traces to a 1925 session in Balboa Park, San Diego, where Marc Edmund Jones worked with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler, drawing 360 blank cards in random order while she described what came to her for each one. Jones published the results in 1953. The phrasing now most widely read is not his; it is Dane Rudhyar's, who reworked the material into his own interpretive language for An Astrological Mandala in 1973, and that 1973 text remains under copyright, so it is not reproduced here. It falls in the second decan of Libra (degrees 11 to 20), and is Libra's fifteenth degree. Its decan is ruled by Saturn rather than Venus, which colors the degree with something Libra does not supply on its own.
The narrower term division belongs to Jupiter, a still finer layer of rulership laid across the sign and decan. This degree also carries an image from a different and earlier tradition. Charubel, writing in 1898, described a fat pig lying down. As a cardinal air sign, Libra initiates through relationship, weighing one position against another before committing. Taken together, the position, the decan, and the old image give this degree a specific character within Libra rather than a generic one.
