The zodiac decans are divisions within each zodiac sign that further break down the astrological wheel. Each zodiac sign is divided into three decans, each covering 10 degrees of the 30-degree span of the sign. The term “decan” is derived from the Latin word “decanus,” meaning “ten.”
Each decan is associated with a specific influence and is ruled by a different planet within the same elemental sign. The decans add more nuance to astrological interpretations, allowing for a more detailed and personalized analysis of an individual’s birth chart.

Hieroglyphic Plan, by Hermes, of the Ancient Zodiac – ” The inner circle contains the hieroglyph of Hemphta, the triform and pantamorphic deity. In the six concentric bands surrounding the inner circle are (from within outward): (1) the numbers of the zodiacal houses in figures and also in words; (2) the modern names of the houses; (3) the Greek or the Egyptian names of the Egyptian deities assigned to the houses; (4) the complete figures of these deities; (5) the ancient or the modern zodiacal signs, sometimes both; (6) the number of decans or subdivisions of the Houses. “ – Manly Palmer Hall

This is the preliminary step of the developing all the layers of the light/rainbow body which is expanding the consciousness trough all dimensions of reality and reach ‘EMPREVM’, “The Mind of God” and unify the microcosm with the macrocosm within the HABITACVM DEI, “The House Of God”. The last step in our misteries school is total liberation trough decoding the 72 layers of consciousness, which are 72 Angels of the Name.
