In general terms, the decans serve to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the same sign. The passage of the Sun through each house of the zodiac, which lasts 30 days, is divided into three periods and according to the date of birth.

This division generates different characteristics in the personality of people with the same sun sign. This happens since each decan is directly influenced by other signs of the same element.

In that case, a Cancer person will also be influenced by Scorpio or Pisces depending on the date they were born. Learn more about how division works below.

Thus, it is possible to state that these influences correspond to the other signs of the same element and their respective ruling planets, which will add new characteristics to the personality of the natives.

A person’s decan is defined by their date of birth. Therefore, someone born on the 24th of June, for example, belongs to the first decan of the sign of Cancer. Therefore, the person is directly influenced by the sign itself and also by the Moon, its ruling planet.

The same pattern can be applied for any other sign and for any other date of birth. However, the divisions of the decans need to be observed as some may be longer or shorter than ten days.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. The passage of the Sun through it takes place between March 21 and April 20. The decans, in turn, are divided as follows: March 21st to March 30th (first decan); April 1st to April 10th (second decan); and April 11th to April 20th (third decan).
