What this decan emphasizes

The practical optimist: ambition grows when it is connected to a larger possibility.

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