If you are scratching your head and wondering why you and a friend share the same star sign and yet are markedly dissimilar in personality traits, the explanation for this could lie in the fact that the both of you belong to different decans or decantes. So what is a decan in astrology?
As you already know, there are twelve star signs with each sign spreading invariably over 30 degrees of the zodiacal circles; and a decan is a 10 degree division, or one-
Hence, there are a total of thirty six decans in all. Each star sign has three decans (1st decan 0˚ to 10˚, 2nd decan 10˚01' to 20˚, 3rd decan 20˚01' to 30˚), and each decan corresponds approximately to ten days of the star sign time period.
Let me use the zodiac sign Aries as an example. Aries starts on 21 March and ends on 19 April, so the first 10 days (21 to 30 March) is the first decan of Aries, the middle 10 days (31 March to 9 April) is the second decan while the final 10 days (10 to 19 April) is the third decan.
With that being said, keep in mind that the dates in astrology can vary from year to year. What’s consistent is the degrees. I would suggest you check your Sun Sign and the degree numbers next to it on your natal chart, if your birthday falls close to a cusp, or the dates mentioned below for each decan.
I recently received an email from a dear reader born on the March 20 1978 (21:48hrs), who is confused over why astrology website A says she is a third decan Pisces while astrology website B tells her she belongs to the first decan of Aries. Well, the Sun entered the constellation of Aries at 18:34hrs on the year she was born; as such, she is 0° 08' in Aries, and a first decan Aries.
Each decan is governed by a planet which has its own special qualities and unique characteristics. The first decan of any sign is ruled only by the planet assigned to that particular sign while the second decan is under the co-
Taking the Fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius as an example, Mars rules the first decan of Aries, the second decan is co-
Let’s say you are born in the first part of the Aries sign. This makes you fall under the “purest” Arian decan category, which means you are very likely to possess all or the most of the personality traits that the star sign dictates – you live by optimism and courage, but are also impulsive, egoistic and quick-
Or perhaps, the sign’s characteristics are more intensified. Those in your network might crown you as Mr or Miss Mighty Fearless of the Century, or feel you are the most unbelievable self-
However, if you are a second decan Aries, you could bear some qualities of a Leo (the next fire sign in the zodiac), meaning that you can be as proud as a lion, and enjoy having all eyes on you. Leos are said to be arrogant, vain, and the biggest attention-
And if you belong to the third decan, you could have certain affinity with Sagittarius (the last sign of the fire element). You are a feisty adventurer that has a tendency to get bored easily, not to mention, absolutely hate being restricted. You thrive on variety, novelty, freedom, knowledge and spirituality.
Therefore by knowing if you were born in the first, second or third decan, you will be able to better understand your own character, strengths as well as weaknesses, and the way in which your decan can change the key or dominant characteristics of your sign of the zodiac.

The first picture shows you what astrological signs belong to the same element group while the second one tells you the four signs that are of the same modality.
