The twenty-two letters 22

The thirty-six decans 36
Every zodiac sign divides into three faces of ten degrees. Each face has a Chaldean ruler, and
each face is a small tarot card — which is why the two of wands means Mars in Aries and
nothing else.
Each segment is one face; the numeral is the small card's number in its suit. Click a face to open it.
0-10° Two of Wands ruled by Mars The first push of the year: force without hesitation. 10-20° Three of Wands ruled by Sun Established courage; the leader who is already leading. 10-20° Six of Pentacles ruled by Moon Generosity with what has been earned; the giver and the receiver. 0-10° Eight of Swords ruled by Jupiter Interference by a would-be helper; the short cut that lengthens the road. 20-30° Ten of Swords ruled by Sun The end of a mental struggle; ruin completed, and the dawn after. 20-30° Four of Cups ruled by Moon The luxury that becomes a stuckness; pleasure taken too far. 0-10° Two of Swords ruled by Moon Balance held with effort; the blindfold and the crossed swords. 10-20° Three of Swords ruled by Saturn Sorrow in the middle of the balance; the heartbreak of the third decan. 0-10° Five of Cups ruled by Mars Disappointment in what was sought; the cup that is not what it promised. 10-20° Six of Cups ruled by Sun Pleasure after the loss; the memory that returns as a gift. 20-30° Seven of Cups ruled by Venus Illusion in desire; the many cups that are all the same. 10-20° Nine of Wands ruled by Moon Strength in reserve; the guardian who has not yet acted. 0-10° Five of Swords ruled by Venus Defeat in the contest; the selfishness at the end of the fight. 10-20° Nine of Cups ruled by Jupiter Happiness in the small and the earned; the wish granted by good living. 20-30° Ten of Cups ruled by Mars Contentment of the household; the promise kept. The sixteen sub-elements 16
Each court card is one element inside another: the king of wands is fire of fire, the queen is
water of fire. Read down a column for the element in play, across a row for the suit.
