Decans in Color
Tracing Symbols of Zodiac Rulership
The previous example of decans, and their sub-rulership over certain Astrological signs' degrees, began with Aries. It's the first sign of the Zodiac & the first month of the Astrological year. Here, the model is presented once again, in a slightly different manner, for easy reference....
The Elements & The Qualities/Types/Modes
For example, the element of Fire boasts three signs:
Each Fire sign is of a different type/mode:
- Aries is cardinal-fire
- Leo is fixed-fire
- Sagittarius is mutable-fire
Glyphs symbolizing various Aspects in common use.
All three mentioned in the text are pictured:
- 120° trine - blue triangle - very easy course
- 90° square - red square - very difficult
- 180° opposition - coral "lazy 8" - challenging

Elements, Qualities & Aspects
- Each element rests at a 120° angle from one another in the zodiac circle. Among the aspects, this is the angle of easiest flow.
- Each quality/mode/type sits at a 90° or 180° angle from one another in the zodiac circle. Among all of the aspects, these are the most difficult angles.
![The 36 Decans are shown on a special horoscope wheel, using color-coding to differentiate the elements and modes of the 12 Zodiac Signs. The innermost ring is similarly color-coded, this time by element, and contains the 144 duads [dwads].](../image/picts/decans-duads2.gif)
The natural order of the signs around the Zodiac circle is counter-clockwise, as numbered on this color-wheel.
