Astrology Decans

Each sign holds 30° of the zodiac that can be split into three distinct 10° sections called decans (or decantes). Knowing which decans points are in opens the door to deeper understanding of their energies.

Sagittarius Decan Rulers

Chaldean Decans

Chaldean rulers are based on the Golden Dawn system of correspondences which uses only "old planets" (prior to the discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto).

Mars rules both the 1st and last decan of the zodiac. Rulers are assigned to the 36 decans in this order:
Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter.

adobe mission uses Chaldean rulers in its sign icons as they are used often in the tarot community.

Triplicity Decans

Triplicity decan rulers (used often by astrologers) are assigned by giving the first decan the same ruler as the sign. The second and third decan rulers are the rulers of the next 2 signs that share its triplicity (element). In this way, all signs sharing an element have the same 3 decan rulers, just shifted.

adobe mission does not use triplicity decan rulers in its sign iconography.

Sabian Symbols

Symbols channeled by Elsie Wheeler with astrologer Marc Edmond Jones.

Artwork for each Sabian by Ruby Fumizki.

Scenes and levels attributed to Dane Rudhyar.

Expression names attributed to James Burgess.

When working with Sabian Symbols, you need to know both the degree and minute of your point. Then round UP. For example:

Venus is at 0°4' of Aquarius which has the Sabian for Aquarius 1

Sun is at 16°48' of Sag which has the Sabian for Sagittarius 17

Ascendant is at 29°13' of Taurus which has the Sabian for Taurus 30

The I Ching

I Ching hexagram-astrological correspondences derived from Fu Xi's seasonal-based arrangement.

This same order is used by Human Design and Gate Keys practitioners.

Knowing which hexagram AND line is associated with a point gives you two hexagrams to study!

The hexagrams associated with this sign are shown below and when clicked the image will show each hexagram's line change detail.

I like to study point's individual hexagram, then study its specific line (your Human Design chart will give you this), then study its evolved/changed hexagram pair (if that line changes from yin to yang or vice versa, a new hexagram is formed).

There are so many ways to work with the I Ching and this association is just one such way.

Sagittarius is packed. In addition to the above, it holds natal Vesta (6°), Juno (7°), and Lilith (9°).

Fun fact: ERIN star point (yes, you can look your name up in the LONG list of other fixed stars/asteroids/various chart points on astro.com and you might find a match!) also sits in Taurus nearly conjunct my Ascendant at 24°21′. In the launch transit chart, the ERIN star sits conjunct my natal Sun at 17°24′ Sagittarius!

Coincidence? No, synchronicity.
