A decan is a subdivision of a zodiac sign used to provide a richer context to each sign’s personalities and traits. In modern astrology, the first decan of any sign is the ruler of the whole sign, while the ruler of the second decan is the ruler of the second decan.
A zodiac sign is divided into three decans, each with a specific planetary ruler, sometimes referred to as the sub-decan. Knowing which decan a planet or other point in your horoscope is in can provide more information about its story and how it may affect your psyche. Every decan must belong to the same Triplicity (element) as the first decan.
To find your decan, you need to know the exact degree of your Sun sign, which can be done by asking an astrologer or using online tools. The decan is where your birthday falls within that 30-degree spread. The first decan starts on the first day the sun moves into that zodiac sign and ends on the 10th/11th day depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in that month.
Each zodiac sign takes up 30 degrees of the zodiac wheel, with the first decan situated within the first 0-10 degrees, the second stretches to 20-29 degrees, and the third from 0-9 degrees to 59 minutes. Decans divide each of the 12 zodiac signs into three segments, each spanning 10 degrees, associated with specific planetary rulers.
In summary, a decan is a subdivision of a zodiac sign used to provide a richer understanding of each sign’s personality and traits. By knowing your decan, you can learn more about your psyche and the impact it has on your life.

What is the decan method?
The Deacon Process involves the use of hydrogen chloride in a blast furnace to produce chlorine and heat. The steam is separated, and the hydrogen chloride is then passed into a distillation column with limestone slaked in water. This produces sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, which is then dried with coke. The acid is converted into chlorine gas, which is then passed through a pressure chamber at atmospheric pressure to produce hydrochloric acid gas.
This process was used in Britain, Germany, and Switzerland. The apparatus consisted of a vertical iron pressure vessel with a U-shaped conduit, containing a nickel catalyst and a solution of caustic soda. The gas space above the caustic soda solution was filled with steam and maintained at about pressure.
What decan was I born in?
Astrology decans are the first ten days of a sign, followed by the second ten days, and the third ten days. Each decan has a unique footprint, with planetary sub-rulers assigned to each sign. These sub-rulers provide additional layers of symbolism to apply to a birth date within the sign. Astrologer Rachel Lang explains that these sub-rulers are the “flavor” of each decan, as they determine the cosmic energies of the degree of that sign.
These sub-rulers can be seen as the ruler of each decan, similar to the chart rulers that govern our natal chart. Understanding your astrology decan can provide insight into your personality and the messages it conveys about you.

What decan Pisces am I?
Pisces, ruled by Neptune, is a planet of imagination and spirituality, characterized by creativity, intuition, and intense emotional intensity. Born within a Pisces decan from February 19 to February 28, those born within this decan will possess the traits of a Pisces. Those born within a Cancer decan from March 1 to March 10, with the Moon as its secondary ruler, will be more sensitive. Those born within a Scorpio decan, with Pluto as its secondary ruler, will be more secretive, mysterious, and calculating.
What is the decan in astrology?
In astrology, a decan is a subdivision of a sign, which is divided into periods of approximately ten days. These periods, known as decans or decanates, cover modifications of individual traits due to minor planetary influences. These ten-day spans are arbitrary to account for the five or sometimes six extra days in the year beyond the 360 days required for the thirty-six decans. Each sign is assigned a triplicity, consisting of three of the four classical elements: air, water, earth, or fire.
These parts are divided into three equal parts of 10 degrees each, known as decans or decanates. Each decan is assigned rulership by the ruling planet and secondary rulership by the decan ruling planet.
How can I find my decan?
The zodiac sign can be determined by the day of birth. The first decan begins on the first day the sun moves into that zodiac sign and ends on the 10th/11th day, depending on the number of days in that month. The next decan starts on the day after the last day of the first decan, and the last decan starts on the day after the last day of the second decan. The sun moves into the next sign after the first decan.
Those born under the first decan have a strong desire to be first in everything, especially winning. They are courageous and determined, with Mars as their ruler and subruler. They are quick to initiate new projects but can lose interest quickly. Exercise is essential for their health, as they may be injury or accident prone.
What age is a decan?
The Raageshwari Volcanic Formation (RVF) is a volcanic complex in the southern part of the Barmer Basin, NW India, located around the Central Basin High. It comprises an initial sequence of acid igneous rocks, called the Agni Member, overlain by a stacked sequence of basaltic lava flows interbedded with subordinate pyroclastic deposits, the Prithvi Member. Seismic data confirms that the RVF has a conical overall geometry and a layered internal structure produced by successive and extensive flows of basalt and ignimbrite, similar to that observed in the main Deccan lava outcrops along the western margin of India.
The RVF is associated with thermal anomalies and thinned continental crust and the presence of a linear low velocity zone at ~100 km depth in the upper mantle region beneath the Barmer and Cambay basins. This is interpreted as the position of the “conduit” through which plume head material passed through the upper mantle before arriving at the base of the Indian lithosphere. The RVF appears to be an early eruption of differentiated ultrabasic magma from a shallow, secondary magma chamber produced by partial crustal melting.
Relative observations suggest that in geothermal power resources and volcanic regions in Earth the mean heat flow is either comparable or greater than the current global mean heat flow of this planet. The critical or minimum heat flow required to sustain geothermal provinces (T 1500C) is at least 90 mWm-2, and the same required to sustain active volcanoes in Earth is at least 100 mWm-2. The volcanism in Venus has declined significantly during the past 300 Ma, suggesting that Earth may lose significant part of its current active volcanoes and geothermal power resources in the next 300-500 Ma if the global mean heat flow in Earth is decreasing at a rate of 5. 76 mW per 100 Ma.
A comprehensive paleomagnetic study on the exposed dykes and basalts from the Shahdol region in the SRB of central India was performed to ascertain the dyke association with these volcanic events. Rock magnetism indicates that magnetite or titano-magnetite is the main remanence carrier mineral in these dykes.

The first decan begins on the first day the sun moves into that zodiac sign and ends on the 10th/11th day, depending on the number of days in that month. The next decan starts on the day after the last day of the first decan, and the last decan starts on the day after the last day of the second decan.

What are the 36 decan stars?
In ancient Egypt, the decans, which were 36 individual stars or constellations, were used to indicate nighttime by their rising and setting at different times of the year.
Which MBTI are Pisces?
Pisces, an INFP and ENFP personality, are often described as dreamers and fit XNFPs to a T. They are feeler types with a compassionate and idealistic nature. INFPs may relate more to the creative inner world of Pisces, while ENFPs may see themselves reflected in their flexibility and camaraderie. Pisces can use empathy to tune into others’ problems and struggle with assertiveness. Astrology has fascinated people for centuries, and while there is no scientific evidence that celestial bodies directly affect us, the overlap between zodiac signs and personality types may help enhance our understanding of personality.
📹 Astrology Decans
Aries: Fire, Ruled by Mars First Decan: 0-10 degrees, ruled by Mars Second Decan: 10-20 degrees, ruled by Sun Third Decan: …
Love you, thank you!! Yesterday when I was talking to my crystals I was like: “More astrology, more spirituality” especially about the degrees, and today after I watched a totally different article (not one of yours, even though I saw your latest article yesterday evening) this old (but very educative) article came up ☺️ love your placements, I think your Virgo rising is making you even more instructive and informative in helping us, your fans 😉
Love you Stormie, love how you cater for other people’s style of learning too! article and “in writing”, think you mentioned a “blog” … awesome work! The article worked great for me; I understand but for others or extra insight I can imagine the blog or writing would be more than appreciated! Much love -Malaquias ♒️❤️
I just want to make sure about something 🙂 If my Venus is in the second decan of Leo (11 degrees), does that mean that she is place in Leo/Leo OR in Leo/Sagitarrius? Is the first sign of the decans always is the first sign of the zodiac (for fire signs in this example) OR is it the sign we are in then the others follow in order of the Zodiac? I hope my question make sense. English is not my first language 😛 Thank you!
Live your article on decan. This was very interesting! Ty. I’m an Aries sun 19 degrees (Leo decan 2 ruled by sun also). I’ve read lots about decan & all info in western astrology is very very interesting to me. I crave the knowledge about myself & my clan. Have a good day. Uve made mine a little bit brighter
hi, i found your article after perusal multiple articles about astrology. and i’m glad i found your website, you have a great way explaining things. I have a question i’d be really happy if you could answer. i recently started getting into astrology and i have read somewhere that if you’re a cancer Sun sign and you were born in the first 10 days you have some traits from Gemini, and if you’re born in the last ten days you have some traits from Leo. and i wanted to know if that is true, does it affect you if you were born in the first or last degrees of a sign. and does it work like that too with planet placements in your chart? i know the degrees affect you in the way you explained, but does the sign after/before yours affect you if you were born in the first or last days? thank you in advance!! x
what about a moon in Sagittarius 10 29″ i’m not sure if it ticked over into the second decan i’m thinking it ticked over to Mars – because that kinda hurts having mars on your moon – and this person seems to hurt – and have a lot of emotional pain – and she has Scorpio rising third decan – so there is the moon out front taking it on the chin – and her PlutoR is at 5 degrees Sagittarius that’s close to her 10 degree moon. i’m a one degree Sagittarius rising – so i’m basically ASC conjunct pluto 4 degrees
Thank you so much for this article! You totally give validation to those of us who feel these energies. This is a controversial issue and many astrologers do not even consider the decans. To me this is ignoring important parts of our personas as we are a complex combination of energies and all things should be considered.
Dear Stormie, Thank you so much for your overly clear explanation. I just have one question (and to whoever knows it and reads this): I don’t know how you can read degrees exactly from your birth chart? Like for example in my sun sign scorpio it says: 0°38 So i’m not sure cause i can’t be 38 degrees right? So what are my degrees so I know in which of those triplicities I’m born and how can I read it? Thank you ! Also I would like to know your opinion on cusp signs, do you think they exist, and maybe you’d ever make a article on those as well?
Cap -sun Saturn sub ruled by Venus sub sub ruled by mercury lol it’ll be nice to have a convo with you – the Chaldeans use the pattern mars Jupiter Saturn moon mercury Venus sun mars etc ….. you look like you have Jupiter or moon on the first house cusp x Thanks for helping me gat this awareness across to people
