Brief Historical References

• The Egyptians (circa 3000-2000 BCE) divided the night sky into 36 groups of stars called "decans" (from Greek "deka" meaning ten, as each ruled approximately 10 days)
• These decans were primarily used for timekeeping at night
• They were not yet connected to zodiac signs (the 12-sign zodiac came later) or Tarot (which didn't exist)
• When the Babylonian zodiac of 12 signs was adopted in Hellenistic Egypt after 300 BCE, the decans were reorganized to fit within the zodiac framework (3 decans per sign)
• Texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus incorporated these astrological concepts
• Tarot cards originated in 15th century Italy with no initial astrological associations
• The systematic correspondence between the 36 decans and the 36 numbered Minor Arcana cards (2-10 of each suit) was developed much later
• Aleister Crowley further refined this system for his Thoth Tarot deck designed 1938-1943

The Astrological Framework:

• The zodiac wheel divided into 36 decans (10° segments of each sign)
• Each decan corresponds to a specific Minor Arcana card in the Thoth Tarot
• The Sun's journey through these decans creates a natural sequence
• This ancient system dates back to Egyptian astrology and was refined through Hermetic traditions

• Mercury expression within Venus territory - Analysis, communication, and mental processes applied to material concerns
• Brings challenges around material stability, physical wellbeing, and practical concerns
• As we transition from the fiery completion of Aries season, this card shows us how we must ground ourselves in material reality and address practical challenges
• Progression: Moving from fiery completion (Four of Wands) to earthy challenge
• Five disks arranged in an inverted manner symbolizing material instability
• Each disk contains a different geometric shape and color: Pink triangle; Yellow square; Light blue circle; Black eclipse/oval;...
