Rubeus
Rubeus (Red) — only Air is active; Fire, Water and Earth are at rest. It stands for passion, anger, and corruption.
Structure of the figure
Latin name: Rubeus. Traditional ruler: Mars.
| Line | Points | Element of the line |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | two | Fire |
| 2 | one | Air |
| 3 | two | Water |
| 4 | two | Earth |
Active (single-point) lines: 1 of 4. The more there are, the more mobile the figure: a single point means an active element, a double point a resting one.
Meaning
An unfavorable figure: anger, conflict, lies, a spoiled affair. Rubeus is Albus turned upside down, and tradition contrasts the two as murky and clear.
A positive reading is possible only where passion or destruction is needed: a dispute, tearing down the old, a break.
In questions about love and money
In love — a quarrel, jealousy, passion with a destructive edge, infidelity. In money — deception, a loss due to conflict, a spoiled deal. Timing — fast and rough.
