Hi Kim,
Seems that you used to have the duads listed under one of your topic matters on your main page. I can't find them now. Are they still there? Can you please list them here with the Duads?
Thanks!
Flower

Hi flower,
The decans follow the element. 1st decan of Aries is ruled by Mars, his own turf. The next 10 degrees is the next fire sign, Leo, so is ruled by the Sun. The third is the Sag decan ruled by Jupiter.
The duads are 2.5 degree divisions and follow the signs natural order. 0-2.5 Aries is the Aries-Mars decan. 2.5-5 degrees is the Venus ruled, Taurus duad, ect.
You can also look at the quality which divides the sign into 4 parts signifying the same (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) quality. The first 7.5 degrees of Aries has a cardinal Aries nature. 7.5-15 degrees carries a Cancer cardinal quality. 15-22.5 degrees shows a Libra quality and the last quarter is more like Capricorn.

Hi Flower, Yes, the Dwad chart is with my 'Compatibility' article: www.falconastrology.com/astro_compatibility.htmDecans & DwadsThe ruling planet of each decan adds a nuance of energy to the original sign. Considering these subtle additions can enhance understanding in the search for compatibility. Dwadashamshas, or Dwads, is the Hindu word for division of twelve. Like fractal geometry , this technique divides each sign into twelve equal parts of 2.5 degrees. Here is the chart. I hope this helps. Kim

So following decans for example, If someone has sun in Aries and the sun is located in the Taurus decans, they would be subruled by Venus? Or would it just add more Venusian flavor to the Aries personality?

Hi Everyone, I think it is important to approach these subdivisions of the signs—decans and dwads—with flexibility. As you suggest, Cat, taking note of the ‘sub-ruler’ really helps. If you first get a feeling for the decans, other subdivisions start to make more sense. The first decan, those first 10 degrees of a sign, are pure, 100%, self-ruled energy. The next 10 degrees contain an influence or undercurrent of the next sign in that element (triplicity) and the third has the influence of the next sign-ruler of that triplicity. So, the 1st decan of Aries is full force, straight up Aires-Mars. (Self-directing to the max-initiating, cardinal). The next decan has a Leo-Sun flavour, it’s perhaps more gregarious, with an urge towards participation—and fixity! The third decan has a Sagittarius undercurrent that brings a flexibility (from the mutable nature) and an added optimism (from Jupiter). They are ALL Fire, ALL Aries with these subtle undercurrents. Make sense? Now, the Dwads are read with the same idea in mind. We know that first Decan of Aries is ALL Mars-Aries, but look at the first 2.5 degrees! Supper Aries! The next 2.5 degrees gives that ALL Aries energy a point of grounding. It introduces a tangibility, a sensuality and a stability that the other degrees of this decan don’t possess. So here the energy of Aries is DIRECTED towards more Venus things, like entertainment, socializing and of course, pleasure. The next dwad is then Gemini-Mercury and that suggests a restless curiosity, the All Fire-Aries energy here is directed towards communication and intellectual expressions. When we get to the last 2.5 degrees of the first decan of Aries, we are back to a cardinal sign but now it is water. All that impulse and desire to initiate now has a lunar undercurrent and the feeling world, the inner life takes on a little more meaning. It’s important to see these divisions as archetypal in nature and not get too personal about them—otherwise we start thinking in terms of limitation—like, “Oh, That decan and dwad means you don’t have the magnanimous nature you would have if it was a degree later.” It’s not quite like that—not limiting. These division ADD something, not take it away. Watching the progressed Ascendant go through the Dwads is probably the most instructional as we can see how, every 2.5 years or so (a Saturn sign and progressed Moon cycle BTW) the DIRECTION of our energy shifts slightly. Waterman, with your Sun in the Leo Dwad, I wouldn’t say ‘better function’ because that suggests a lack of function in other dwads and that just isn’t the case. It’s a DIFFERENT undercurrent, one that ADDS a sense of distinction, creativity and generosity—solar principles—to you Sun. Someone with Sun at 0 Cancer isn’t ‘lacking’ these qualities but perhaps more expressive of the pure 100% Cancer energy (especially on the Aries Point!) If you check the sub-rulers of all your planets you might be surprised what themes come up! Kim

Funny Like for example my Venus 18°31' Taurus So the combination is Taurus/ Virgo/ Sagittarius
I like a lot of Virgo Venus women, but that's may be also cause their Venus is most of the time places in my 1st house, on my rising or on my Moon
And i have Venus in the 9th house, so there's another connection with the Sag theme...

So, as my Cancer sun is in the Leo Dwad, could i feel more connected to someone's whose Sun is also in the Leo dwad What strikes me, both Sun & Moon are in the Leo Dwad... oh, will be coïncidence i guess
