The signature

What this decan emphasizes

The dignified heart: radiance learns to carry responsibility as well as applause.

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