The third decan of Gemini runs from 20°–30° of the sign, about Jun 11–20. Its ruler in the Chaldean order is The Sun, and its card is the Ten of Swords, which Crowley calls Ruin and the Golden Dawn the Lord of Ruin. The decan lies within the arc of the Queen of Cups (21° Gemini to 20° Cancer). Its two angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are Lauviah and Caliel.
