The second decan of Gemini

What the second decan of Gemini is like

Venus softens the wit with charm. You connect people, you sense what a room needs, and your words often carry beauty as well as meaning.

Venus rules this decan because it rules Libra, a air sign like Gemini.

The Gemini underneath

Gemini season comes as the days stretch toward summer and the air is thick with pollen and plans. Your mind moves like light on water, never quite still. You collect people, stories and half finished books, and you have never once been only one thing. Life is too interesting for that.

How decans work

Each sign is thirty degrees of the zodiac, split into three decans of ten degrees, so the Sun spends about ten days in each. Hali uses the modern decan rulers, where each decan borrows the ruler of a sign of the same element. The older Chaldean system of Hellenistic astrology hands the decans to the seven classical planets in a fixed order instead, so some books name a different ruler.
