The decans indicate a subsidiary influence. For example, someone born when the
Sun was in the middle of Scorpio will be slightly influenced by the sign Pisces (because
the Sun was in the Pisces decan of Scorpio); although the person will still be Scorpio, the
normal intensity of this sign will be somewhat moderated by Pisces. This modification is
relatively minor and is usually ignored, unless one is examining the subtleties of a particu-
lar chart. When decans are used at all, the focus is almost always the sun sign. For exam-
ple, the decans of the planets and the other points in a natal chart, with the possible
exception of the Moon and the ascendant (rising sign), are usually ignored.Sources:
