Decans step it up from what you have come to know as astrology that is solely confined to your sun sign. These divisions of the zodiac circle are based on groups of ten degree divisions broken down to three equal parts or decans of 10 degrees each. These decans supplement your astrological sign with more sub-tier elements such as personality traits, enhanced characteristics and difficulties related to your birth date.
What Are Decans?
Astrology sections each zodiac sign into thirty degrees of the whole zodiacal circle. Decans subdivide this area into three sections of equal size for each of which dominates a particular planetary power. It forms mild distinctions within every zodiac sign, though the specific distinctions may not be dramatic.
