The first decan of Gemini runs from 0°–10° of the sign, about May 21–31. Its ruler in the Chaldean order is Jupiter, and its card is the Eight of Swords, which Crowley calls Interference and the Golden Dawn the Lord of Shortened Force. The decan lies within the arc of the Knight of Swords (21° Taurus to 20° Gemini). Its two angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are Iezalel and Mebahel.
