This point of the zodiac carries an older picture than the one generally quoted. John Thomas, the Welsh minister who wrote as Charubel, published a complete run of degree images in 1898, well before Marc Edmund Jones sat with the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler in Balboa Park in 1925. For this degree Charubel described everything as green, every object a dull, uniform green, and everything in motion at once, a picture of restless growth rather than a fixed scene, which sits comfortably with Aries as a sign defined by movement rather than by settled form.
Charubel worked entirely apart from the older, planet based systems still attached to this degree as facts: Vettius Valens, writing around 175, gave it Mars as the ruler of its ten degree face, and Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos gives it Jupiter as the ruler of its narrower bound, neither writer picturing anything, only assigning rulership. The first complete set of individual degree pictures survives whole in 1494, in Johannes Angelus's Astrolabium Planum, a Latin work safely out of copyright, though modern English translations of it are not. Charubel's English set came next and independently, and the Sabian material that followed him in 1925, now read through Dane Rudhyar's 1973 recasting, is a third, later and separate tradition again. In practice, a degree this precisely defined is used mainly to time events through progressions or to note two charts sharing the same exact point, a modern layer over the antique decan and bound system.
