Based on the upstream GMT documentation at https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/dev/plot.html#s it should be possible to rotate the symbol by appending +aangle:

+aangle
Force symbols at a fixed angle, +an for line-normal, or +ap for line-parallel [Default].

However, so far this does not work for me (for quoted lines it works to rotate the label by appending +aangle).

Code example:

import pygmt
import numpy as np


size = 5
x = np.array([-size, size])
y = np.array([3, 3])

fig = pygmt.Figure()

fig.basemap(
    region=[-size, size, -size, size],
    projection="X" + str(size*2) + "c",
    frame=True,
)

for i_line in [
        "~d2c:+ss1c",
        "~d2c:+ss1c+a20",
        "qd1c:+ltext",
        "qd1c:+ltext+a20",
        ]:
    fig.plot(
        x=x,
        y=y,
        style=i_line,
        pen="1.25p,black",
    )
    
    fig.text(
        x=0,
        y=y[0]+0.7,
        text=i_line,
        font="10p",
    )
    
    y = y - 2
    
fig.show()
# fig.savefig(fname="decorated_lines_rotated.png")

Output figure:

Likely an upstream bug or a missing feature. Please report to the upstream GMT repository.
