Each sign is comprised of three decans. Chaldean Decans. Each decan is assigned a ruling planet in Chaldean order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. As the ruler of Aries, Mars is assigned to the first decan of Aries; the Sun, second decan of Aries; Venus, the third decan of Aries, etc., This is the most common system of decans used in the Greco-Roman and Medieval period. Order of Signs. Manilius associates each decan with signs, not planets. He begins by assigning the first decan of Aries to Aries; the second decan of Aries to Taurus, the third decan of Aries to Gemini, etc., and continues in the order of signs. His decan system appears idiosyncratic and no other astrologer appears to have used it. Hindu Decans (Varahamihira). This method associates the three signs of each triplicity to a single sign. To Aries is assigned the fiery triplicity: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. To Taurus is assigned the earthy triplicity: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. To Gemini is assigned the airy triplicity: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. To Cancer is assigned the watery triplicity: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
