The second decan of Cancer

What the second decan of Cancer is like

Pluto deepens the waters. You feel things at the root, you sense what others hide, and your loyalty runs almost without end.

Pluto rules this decan because it rules Scorpio, a water sign like Cancer.

The Cancer underneath

The longest day in the north brings Cancer season with it, the moment the year turns quietly back toward home. You feel everything and forget nothing. Your love is a shelter people come back to for years, and your gut usually knows the truth long before your head catches up.

How decans work

Each sign is thirty degrees of the zodiac, split into three decans of ten degrees, so the Sun spends about ten days in each. Hali uses the modern decan rulers, where each decan borrows the ruler of a sign of the same element. The older Chaldean system of Hellenistic astrology hands the decans to the seven classical planets in a fixed order instead, so some books name a different ruler.
