The Zodiac Man appeared most frequently in calendars, devotional books of hours, treatises on philosophy, medicine and in Medieval Astrology. The concept of the Zodiac Man dates to the Hellenistic period and appears in Manilius's Astronomica. The Zodiac Man was used in medieval medicine to determine the correct time for surgery, medication, bloodletting, and other procedures. Attributed to Ptolemy, the foremost rule was to avoid interfering with a body part when the Moon could be found by transit in its corresponding sign.

The 36 decans or faces from the Brihat Jataka.

The Decans of Sagittarius ♐️

Similar to the Decans or faces from Agrippa and Picatrix ~ the Vedic Astrology book, The Brihat Jataka, illustrates 3 decans of 10 degrees each in the signs of the Zodiac. Note that they are ruled by triplicity lords rather then the Chaldean order.

Whereas the Face images from the Picatrix illustrate talismanic magic; these decans are closer to Tarot and divination. What I have found successful is utilizing them as an additional factor of significations in Horary/ Divination questions and also for reading the Birth Chart.

The dates noted correspond to the time of year the Sun travels through that decan and segment of the zodiac in a tropical chart.

1st Decan Ruled by Jupiter

Date: Nov 23 - Dec 2

Tarot Correspondence: 8 of Wands ~ Swiftness

“A man with a human upper body and horse’s lower body. He carries a long bow stretched tight. He lives in a hermatge and protects the sages and occult articles.

2nd Decan  Ruled by Mars

Date: Dec 3 - 12

Tarot Correspondence: 9 of wands ~ Strength

“A woman whose color is like gold is sitting in a yogic one and picking up gems from the ocean of deep wisdom and secrets.”

3rd Decan  Ruled by Sun

Date: 13 -22

Tarot Correspondence: 10 of Wands ~ Oppression

“A man with a long beard with golden skin, wearing a deer skin denoting overcoming distraction, is seated in a yogic state with a staff of personal power in his hand.”
