Three of Wands ~ Perseus ~
Astrologic harmonic/mode - Trine
Constellation - Perseus
Decanate - 3rd Aries
Ruler of decan - Jupiter
Perseus - Acrisius had one daughter, called Danae, an oracle had told Acrisius that one day his daugter would bring into the world a son by whose hands he would perish. Acrisius thereupon had a chamber of bronze built underground and locked Danae in it with her nurse. But Zeus, who had been attracted by the girl's charms, found a way to enter the chamber in the form of a shower of gold and frequently visited Danae. The result was a birth of a son, Perseus. Acrisius was terrified when he learned of this miraculous birth and shut up both mother and child in a chest which he cast into the sea. Tossed by the waves, the chest was finally carried to the island of Seriphus where a fisherman, Dictys, brother of King Polydectes, caught it in his nets.
Athene guided Perseus on his expedition against he Gorgons. As the hero dared not look into the terrifying face of the Medusa she guided is arms so that he could strike the monster. In gratitude Perseus gave Athene the Gorgon's head which she placed on her shield.
