The first decan of Taurus runs from 0°–10° of the sign, about Apr 21–30. Its ruler in the Chaldean order is Mercury, and its card is the Five of Disks, which Crowley calls Worry and the Golden Dawn the Lord of Material Trouble. The decan lies within the arc of the Prince of Disks (21° Aries to 20° Taurus). Its two angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are Achaiah and Cahetel.
