Brief Historical References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

SIX OF DISKS

Second Decan of Taurus (May 1-May 10, 2025)

The Sun is between 10 degrees and 20 degrees in the sign of Taurus.

• On May 1 the Sun enters the second decan of Taurus, corresponding to the Six of Disks in the Thoth Tarot deck—the Lord of Success.
• Moon in Taurus
• Fixed Earth, earthy stability infused with lunar receptivity
• Lunar expression within Venus territory
• Bringing Generosity, balance, prosperity, and material success
• Material struggles transform into abundance and generosity when we embrace the cyclical nature of giving and receiving
• Progression: Moving from material challenge (Five of Disks) to balanced prosperity
• Saturn (discipline) - The foundation of all success begins with structure, boundaries, and disciplined effort
• Jupiter (creativity) - Expansion, growth, and creative vision build upon that foundation
• Venus (passion) - Harmony, beauty, and passion infuse the creative process
• Moon (controlling emotions) - Emotional intelligence and intuitive awareness provide guidance
• Mercury (listening and thinking) - Clear communication and analytical thinking refine the approach
• Mars (action) - Finally, directed action and energy bring it all into manifestation
• This color arrangement creates a visual balance between the cooling, reflective energies (blue) and the warming, active energies (red), with the integrating consciousness (gold) at the center
• The entire color scheme reinforces the card's message that success in the material realm comes from the perfect integration of diverse but complementary energies.

THE QUEEN OF DISKS & THE MOON

Supporting Cards for the Second Decan of Taurus (Six of Disks)

Queen of Disks

• As queen of the earth suit, she represents someone who manages material resources with emotional intelligence and intuitive understanding
• In Crowley's system, the Queen of Disks represents the watery aspect of earth - the emotional and nurturing qualities expressed through material means
• She embodies fertility, abundance, generosity, and practical nurturing
• The goat at her feet represents her mastery over the material realm and her ability to navigate difficult terrain with sure-footedness.
• The staff symbolizes her authority over the earth element.

THE MOON (Major Arcana XVIII)

• The card depicts two jackal-headed Egyptian deities (Anubis figures) standing as guardians on either side of a central path
• At the bottom of the card, is a golden beetle holding a solar disk, against a backdrop of blue and red waves
• In the center is a large yellow-white path leading upward to a full moon disk
• This card represents the realm of illusion, the subconscious, and the path through darkness
• The Moon card represents the need for discernment when navigating the realm of emotions, dreams, and intuitions, where things are not always as they appear
• By acknowledging the temporary nature of physical existence (Memento Mori), we gain perspective that helps us move through the illusions and uncertainties represented by the Moon

DAILY PRACTICE FOR THE SECOND DECAN
