To properly identify the portrait of an astrological sign, it is essential to know its decan. But what is it and how do you determine it? We tell you everything, sign by sign.
Everyone knows his astrological sign. If this makes it possible to better identify his character, his aptitudes and to better apprehend his future, it is possible to refine his exploration thanks to what are called decans. These are none other thanan interval of 10 degrees. Since each zodiac sign is on an axis of 30 degrees, we can deduce that each sign has three decans. Why 30 degrees? Because our sun takes 30 days, neither more nor less, to cross the astrological constellations.
Each decan corresponds to a character trait
Indeed, each decan echoes a very particular profile.
- The first decan concerns people with more entrepreneurial characteristics. We then speak of individuals capable of initiative and inventiveness. This often corresponds to profiles where action is omnipresent in their lives.
- The second decan announces profiles where wisdom is expressed more. They are then distinguished by their vision of life, their ability to take a step back, to take an objective look at existence. They go straight to the point and don’t bother with a thousand questions.
- The third and last decan is the family of those whose creativity is important and whose ability to adapt is obvious. It is said that they are able to better fluidify their relationships with others.
Nothing’s easier. You need simply know your date of birth and see which decan it corresponds to. Below are the three decans of each sign, their corresponding planet and the essential traits of their personality.

The decans of the 12 zodiac signs
Sign, decan and ascendant: the triptych to know yourself better
Thus, astrology allows, when you know your sign and the decan that corresponds to it, to better understand our character, our strengths and our weaknesses. The ascendant also brings knowledge that allows us to further refine our psychological profile. But did you know that you can go even further by calculating, this time, the decan of your ascendant?
For know the decan of your ascendant, you must use the exact time you were born and the city of your birth. Then, you will have to see at what degree is the cusp of your ascendant. For those who don’t know, the cusp is the dividing point between two astrological signs or two houses. Thus you will have the possibility of matching the position in degree of the cusp of your ascendant in correlation with the degrees used to determine the decans as we have exposed them.
For example, a person with an Aries ascendant positioned between 1 and 10 degrees will be from the first decan, between 11 and 20 from the second and between 21 and 30 from the third.
Sound too technical? Rest assured, rare are the astrologers who seek the decan of the ascendants. They prefer, in fact, to develop an astral chart which will be much more complete and in-depth.
