#first decan

View On WordPress

I'm not a big fan of decans, I use them only for sun signs. Anyway, decans play a secondary role, I mean first it's sign, then house, aspects, sign dispositor and only then decans. So how you see they're deeply different just using the steps above. In the future I'll try to post something about decans. The most important thing in astrology is to not lose yourself in details and forget about understanding the big picture. Nuances are interesting, to discover and to learn, but never lose yourself in them.

I’m a 1st Decan Libra.

Ruled by Mars. The Sun drives through the constellations of the Herdsman, the Ship, the Virgin, the Cross, and the Crown. Scorpio is a sign that’s often type-cast as the bad one, so it’s not surprising that the decan ruled by the planet of war does contains a few malefics. This decan is a sharp and powerful weapon, but that doesn’t mean that it will do harm. The only sharp instrument here is the spear shaft; none of sidereal Scorpio actually falls here. The Agony & The Ecstasy. The dark edge to this decan comes from carrying the weight of the crucifix, of one having to bear the responsibility of psychic or prophetic ability, the knowing beforehand. The constellation of Crux is listed as having an ability for divination and 2 of these people’s stars reside here. Being able to tap into other dimensions (and into people’s minds) gives one power that can be used for good or for evil. but with Scorpio decan 1, it’s either black magic or white magic - they simply do not do grey. The typical Scorpio magnetism comes from its ruler, sexy Mars and Bootes the herdsman, working close to the earth and driving those beasts forward. These people can survive anything. They’re very driven, but they come in unannounced and glide to the top silently.

Ruled by Saturn and Jupiter, the sun glides like a gondola through this decan. It’s easy to get enchanted by this otherworldly zone of Aquarius, Pegasus, the Swan, the Southern fish, and the Sculptor. It’s the home of dreaminess and rose-colored glasses. It’s also a very psychic area with 6 prophetic stars residing here. These people represent the muses, fairytales, and the Bohemian Dream. This zone is an artist’s dream, where one can catch the muses and write inspiring music, art, and poetry. Here one can absorb, blend into the landscape and be receptive to the flow of inspiration from the collective. But oh so sensitive, there can be the problem of feeling other people’s pain 24/7. These are great empaths, who are prone to self-medication when they take on too much of other peoples woes. There can be major problems with alcohol, drugs, sex addiction, gambling, or other kinds of addiction. These people are visionaries, but it’s all highly theoretical and actually following through on anything ever at all and having the drive to sell themselves and their product may be a problem. Dreamy Pisces always has problems to take logical steps to make their visions reality and so they mostly stay in the background and never even get noticed. Very often, Pisces decan 1 thinks that the mirages in their head actually are real, except that no one else can see them. There are very few beastly stars in Pisces decan 1, making them innocent and naive in a childlike way, and often hurt by the world. When this happens, they retreat back into themselves all the way and live in their head or in some far off place, away from everyone. The animals in this constellation are hardly wild and all the stars on them are placed above the waist, so there is something longingly sexual but chaste about them. They just might be the world’s worst flirts.

Ruled by Jupiter and Saturn, it ascends through the constellations of the Archer, the Telescope, the Shield, and the Serpent. This decan is dominated by the constellation Sagittarius, the archer, so these people aim high and shoot to kill. They combine the ambition and authority of Capricorn with Sagittarian enthusiasm and zeal. They have a strong, honorable work ethic and are religiously dedicated to whatever path they chose in life. It’s all very serious with them, even though the comedians among them work hard to get a laugh. They can be ruthless, walking over dead bodies, and get right to the heart of the matter. They’re not “chatty” but can deliver one-liners that completely disarm their opponents and hit the spot. At work or at home, their speeches are likely to utterly convince those around them. They often were the BLACK SHEEP of the family, and now want to prove to the world that they are worthy. They almost always have some kind of eye problem, and most will need glasses. Capricorn Decan 1 usually has an exact “vision” of their future and will set long-term goals for everything from careers to relationships. Stamina and tireless work are their life. In personal relationships, especially love relationships, they may appear cold, emotionally distant, and preoccupied or “absent” most of the time.

First decan Pisces born between February 19 and February 29 (0˚-10˚) are ruled by Neptune and Jupiter. As a first decan their sub-ruling planet is also Neptune, making them double the Pisces. This means that any Pisces traits they possess are intensified. They are deeply emotional, sensitive, and spiritual. They have wild imaginations but are lacking the motivation to put their creativity to good use. On the downside their escapism, impracticalities and self-pity are also enhanced. Most people forget that Jupiter is also a main ruling planet of Pisces, but it brings good luck to help the impractical Pisces when they’ve made a regrettable decision based on desire rather than necessity. Despite being most forgettable, Jupiter is what keeps Pisces on track and provides them with the boost they need to turn dreams into realities.
