Meaning:
The third decan of Gemini reaches a peak of inner and outer polarization, ultimately resolving in a stable unity born from the surrender or end of one opposing force. This decan signifies a decisive moment—one twin must fall, and a final choice must be made. This decan represents the process of thoroughly examining an issue before making a decision. At this critical juncture, where two opposing forces have reached their peak, they can no longer coexist. There is a death of duality and therefore the aiming for unity again. This decan is about judgment and decision, wherein a number of possibilities are sacrificed, allowing for the realization of one specific outcome.
Decanic Rulerships: The Sun
The Sun in the third decan of Gemini brings an abundance of possibilities, talents, and interests. Those born under this influence must gradually refine their choices, determining which paths to follow and which to abandon. While deliberate choices promote greater self-awareness and create a principled approach to life, indecision and living in bad faith results in ruin. This decan does not indicate a tragic conclusion, but a decisive moment—one that becomes a sacred and necessary sacrifice, opening the path to profound transformation.
Myths:
This decan is associated with myths about ultimate choices and the necessity of endings.
