The signature

What this decan emphasizes

The interpreter: feeling becomes language, observation, and protection through understanding.

  • The shared sign ruler is Moon.
  • The sub-ruler Mercury changes the emphasis without replacing the sign itself.
  • Use the decan as a refinement, not a reason to ignore the whole chart.
