Your decan will depend on when you were born during your zodiac sign’s solar season. Because each zodiac sign accounts for only 28 days, these decans will be approximations of dates depending on the shifting degrees. Each zodiac sign takes up 30 degrees of the zodiac wheel, with the first decan is situated within the first 0-10 degrees, the second stretches over 11-20 degrees and the third encompasses 21-30 degrees respectively.

On the zodiac wheel, there are 360 degrees that represent the sky, which is then divided into twelve sections, each governed by one of the 12 zodiac signs you’re probably familiar with. In astrology, decans refer to the subdivisions within each zodiac sign, broken up by degrees. Did you know that there are three different types of each zodiac sign? In astrology, they say Gemini’s can be two-faced, Tauruses are more stubborn than a drain clog and Virgo’s are so nit-picky that their behavior alone will drive you mad! But have you ever been the subject of these “one size fits all” descriptions of your own sign and felt misunderstood? That’s because there are actually three different versions of each zodiac sign, with each third known as a “decan”.
