Use

Siblings and co-borns, courage, and the description of the body. The third drekkana of a sign is also used in the classical descriptions of a person's appearance.

Meaning

D3 divides each sign into three parts of ten degrees, and each part is a whole sign: the first drekkana of a sign is the sign itself, the second the fifth from it, the third the ninth. It is the varga of brothers and sisters, of the courage that siblings share, and of the body's build.
