	Taurus: The Decans
		These divisions are known as the "decans" or "decantes" and cover modifications of individual traits, attributed to minor planetary influences, which temper or blend with the ruling influence of the period.
		It is important that individuals born under the jurisdiction of this Decan be staunch and steady, pushing the strength of Taurus to its fullest capacity.
		The constellation associated with this Decan is Auriga (The Charioteer), a lovely multi-sided grouping which is easy to find in the night sky, due largely to the brightness of its major attribute, Capella the She-Goat Star and her retinue of three little kids.

	History of Constellation and Star Names
		Lists of decans were prepared to determine the hour of the night if the calendar date was known, or to determine the decan if the hour of the night was known.
		Of the 18 decans marking the period from sunset to sunrise 3 were assigned to each interval of twilight.
		The decans were selected for decades of the civil calendar, 3 for each month (of 3 x 10-day weeks), leaving over 5 epagomenal days at the end of the year.

	THE DECANS IN ASTROLOGY
		This was the basis for the later importance of the horoscope (the zodiacal degree on the horizon at birth) and the Ascendant (the zodiacal sign rising at birth) and the houses.
		The notion of the decans as indicating lucky or unlucky lives, along with the Stoic notion of the heavens as being a sort of cosmic body (corresponding to our human bodies), led to the idea that each decan was associated with a certain part of the human body.
		decan of Cancer reads that a native with this decan rising will be reared “richly and of better parents, and he will see the deaths of his brothers; and he will be a public man and he will be held in honor…[and] small in stature, swarthy, his beard thin,” et cetera.

	Virgo: The Decans
		The First Decan of Virgo is also known as the Virgo Decante and the "Week of System Builders." This Decan is the most typical of its native Sign, meaning that individuals born during this period are fast-moving, quick-acting, youthful, versatile and communicative with an especially good command of both the spoken and written word.
		The Second Decan of Virgo is also known as the Capricorn Decante and the "Week of the Enigma." The influence of Saturn (secondary planet governing this Decan) can induce many rather interesting variances to the basic Virgo character primarily ruled by Mercury, but chiefly creates a personal hunger for success in everything these natives do.
		These Third Decan natives may go overboard when it comes to drink and fun, but they will sincerely apologize later for their trespasses and are usually readily forgiven by those around them.

	Decans 'n Duads - Core Meanings in Astrology - JOANNA MILLER - Astrologer
		Decans were a practical innovation, and were originated by Astrologer-Astronomers who were watching the night sky some 4,100 years ago....
		The decans were thought to sit between the circle of the Zodiac and the circle of the Universe, bearing up the one, and looking down upon the other.
		Just as the decanates were developed as a result of the progress of the Earth during its annual trek around the Sun, it's the signs' progressive qualities that we're modifying by observing the decanates.

		The second decan is associated with the next sign of the same element in the natural order of the zodiac.
		To continue the same examples, the third decan of Aries is the Sagittarius decan, and the third decan of Taurus is the Capricorn decan.
		When decans are used at all, the focus is almost always on the sun sign; (for example, the decans of the planets and the other points in a natal chart, with the possible exception of the Moon and the ascendant (rising sign), are usually ignored).

	Decans or Decanates - Planet Rulers
		The decans and rulers are worth investigation and have proven effective in predictive astrology, especially in the progressed horoscope.
		The ruler of the decan of the rising sign in the progressed chart has a great deal of influence over the whole life, for the time in question, particularly if there are any aspects made by that ruler, or if the planet is strong in the natal chart.
		The influence of the decan is often similar to the conjunction.

	World Mysteries - Great Pyramid, Parameter A and the Egyptian Decans, by Andrew Bourmistroff
		The Decans were 36 special bright groups of stars from the sky along the ecliptic.
		And you must understand that below the circle of this body are placed the thirty-six Decans, between the circle of the universe and that of the zodiac, separating the one circle from the other; they bear up, as it were, the circle of the universe, and look down on the circle of the zodiac.
		And subject to the Decans is the constellation called the Bear, which is centrally situated with regard to the zodiac.

		With the remaining stone, 36 figures (called "Celebrants") representing the 36 decans of the zodiac were carved by 1980.
		The original Kemetu (Egyptian) Decans were 10-day periods that were marked by the heliacal rising of 36 stars which the Kemetu observed for their religious and civic calendars.
		Instead, by focusing on each decan the images are a combination of the nature of the stone, the time and circumstance of their execution, and my ideas.

		The concept of decans originated with the ancient Chaldeans when they divided the 360 degree circle of the heavens into 36 equal parts of 10 degrees each, and each part was ruled by a planet or other heavenly body in the sky.
		Each decan of a sign is assigned rulership of the planet ruling the sign and secondary rulership of the planet ruling the decan.
		The decans and their rulers are assigned as follows as based on the concepts of modern Western astrology:-

	Heritage of the Stars - by Deborah Houlding; Chapter 3 - Egyptian Deification of Time & Space
		It is not known exactly when the amalgamation of symbolism took place but the astrological use of decans is shown in the temple of Esna, which has been dated to around 200 BC.
		Under their belief every star represents a god and in their calendrical use of decans, the star that rises at the beginning of the week is considered to be the god or ruler of that week.
		At a very early stage star clocks were produced to identify these weekly rulers - diagrammatic devices that indicated the name of each decan rising on a particular date and at a particular hour of the night.

		The system of decans was originally associated with thirty-six constellations that rose at specified times of the year.
		Like the faces, the decans are even divisions of 10° each, starting with the first point of Aries and terminating at the last point of Pisces.
		Whereas the faces appear to have been indigenous to Arabic astrology, the system of decans is found first in Egyptian and later in Indian astrology (al- Bīrūnī asserts that the decans were a Hindu practice).

	Schmidt: Ancient Jewish Astrology
		It seems that all individuals conceived in the first quadrant (or winter), that is, between the first decan of Capricorn and the third decan of Pisces, have the same division of diurnal and nocturnal decans, in the proportion of eighteen to nine.
		This time it seems that all individuals conceived in the third quadrant (summer), that is, between the first decan of Cancer and the third decan of Virgo, have the same division between diurnal and nocturnal decans, in a proportion of nine to eighteen.
		Of these twenty-seven decans, we already know that A, like all individuals born nine months after conception, possesses what I have called a common, irreducible fund of nine diurnal decans and nine nocturnal decans; or, to use the terms of our document, of nine parts of light and nine parts of darkness.
