Algol
Descendant Conjunct Algol
With the Descendant conjunct Algol, the most intense of the stars, the star's character marks partnership, marriage, and the people you attract: raw, concentrated power and the danger of losing your head over another. The Descendant is the angle of one-to-one relating and open enemies, where a setting star is angular and strong, shaping who you meet across from you. The pull is toward intense, all-or-nothing bonds that must be governed rather than obeyed. Read it together with Algol's full nature and the rest of the chart, since a single star colors but does not dictate.
