The 36 Faces
Decans
Each zodiac sign is divided into three 10-degree segments called decans, each with its own planetary ruler. Compare three traditional systems.
The oldest decan system. Planetary rulers follow the Chaldean order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon — cycling through all 36 decans starting from Mars (Aries 1st decan).
