Diphda

Diphda

Diphda (Deneb Kaitos), the tail of the Sea-Monster, is of the nature of Saturn. It marks forced change, self-restraint tested against compulsion, and the need to discipline impulses that would otherwise turn self-undoing. Met consciously, it teaches mastery; ignored, it brings setbacks that compel the lesson anyway.
