The third decan of Cancer runs from 20°–30° of the sign, about Jul 12–21. Its ruler in the Chaldean order is The Moon, and its card is the Four of Cups, which Crowley calls Luxury and the Golden Dawn the Lord of Blended Pleasure. The decan lies within the arc of the Prince of Wands (21° Cancer to 20° Leo). Its two angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are Melahel and Hahuiah.
