Second Decan Aries, Tarot Three Fire
Second Decan Aries, Three Fire, Three Wands, Virtue
Second decan Aries Tarot Three Fire, Three of Wands, and each of the other minor arcana cards, numbered Three, exhibit characteristics ascribed to Binah, the third sephirah of the QBL Tree of Life.
Planetary Correspondence
Binah corresponds to Saturn in the planetary realm. The influence of Saturn is reflected in the minor arcana cards with a numerical value of “Three”, and this influence is colored by their respective elemental suit: fire, water, air, and earth.
Saturn embodies qualities such as construction, reliability, patience, tradition, and stability in Astrology. These qualities contribute to the coherence and solidification of projects and concepts.
Saturn represents the concept of time, and this is highlighted in the card’s ability to bestow expertise through steady and disciplined growth. As time passes, understanding deepens, emphasizing the significance of the sephiroth, Binah.
The second decan Aries corresponding with Thee of Fire indicates education through repetition with mind time, introspection, and awareness of the autobiographical self. The appearance of a timeline and the ability to observe oneself in history is consciousness.
Astrological Decan Allocation
The allocation of Sun in Aries to Three of Fire reinforces the Binah Saturn quality of Three. It takes the dynamic qualities of Aries, initiated by Mars Two of Fire, and creates a cohesive current.
The impulsive drive represented by Two of Fire, Mars in Aries, has evolved in Three of Fire, through the Binah Saturn influence, to become stable and constructive.
The second decan of Aries, Three of Fire, attributes the Sun in Aries and holds the title of Virtue.
Virtue entails consciously educating oneself, which is accomplished through discipline, repetition, mindful reflection, and self-awareness of personal history, over a period of time.
It is doing the right thing for one’s self with high standards of behavior.
Three Fire is to be aware, a quality of mind time, introspection in conjunction with the autobiographical self, not just duration time, which is habits, but the appearance of self history within that timeline.
This awareness of being conscious of our actions manifests the concept of karma, a quality also appropriate for Saturn.
The card is understanding where we want to go with virtuous intent, and having the confidence towards achieving it.
All the cards have a positive and negative aspect and in the case of Three of Fire, the positive aspect represents a constructive energy, leading to great accomplishments.
In contradiction to this is the card’s negative nature of oppression, tyrannical rule arising from its appearance of outliving its usefulness.
See Perfected Work, the Four of Fire, that should be the objective of this card Three Fire.
The Three of Fire appearing in a tarot reading indicates consolidation, as diverse elements come together to form a focused dynamic objective that individuals will manifest in Perfected Work, represented by the Four of Fire.
Personality Type
The personality type associated with this decan is Queen of Fire. Her qualities are those suited to receive and translate the specific ancestral or inner voice of this decan in the event one has difficulty resolving the conundrum of the appearance of Three Fire.
Bicameral Signature
In our failure to understand what a card is saying, we should allow ourselves to be driven back on our ancestral inner voice for resolution.
In this example, Three of Fire, the major arcana cards Emperor and Sun, corresponding to Aries and Sun, are the specific signature voice of this decan. This voice will be transmitted through the personality type represented by the Queen of Fire.
