The signature

What this decan emphasizes

The maker: patient, tactile, and attentive to what deserves to last.

  • The shared sign ruler is Venus.
  • 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.
