Menkar
Menkar
Menkar, the jaw of the Sea-Monster Cetus, is of the nature of Saturn. It marks being swallowed by something larger than oneself, inherited burdens, illness, or the pull of the collective, and the call to rise from it on behalf of a cause greater than the personal. It rewards those who carry a collective weight with purpose.
