Dubhe
Descendant Conjunct Dubhe
Dubhe is the Great Bear's pointer, a star of raw protective power and primal strength. On the Descendant it shapes what you draw toward you in partnership: strong, guarding companions, relationships fierce in their loyalty, and open adversaries who do not back down. The strength can shelter you or overwhelm you, so read this star with the houses your Descendant governs and the rest of the chart.
