The Decan System
Each zodiac sign spans 30° and is divided into three 10° decans (or faces). Each decan is ruled by a planet, giving three distinct flavors within every sign. The decan ruler is drawn from the same element's triplicity in the Chaldean system: the first decan is ruled by the sign's own ruler, the second by the next in the triplicity, and the third by the next after that.
