Mintaka
Descendant Conjunct Mintaka
Mintaka, a star of Orion's Belt carrying good fortune and a steadying luck, sits on the angle of partnership and the people you draw close. It lends a quiet, durable good fortune to marriage, alliances, and even open conflict, as if the people you meet help hold you straight. Read Mintaka with the whole chart, since a single star colors how you partner but does not dictate the outcome.
