The first decan of Pisces

What the first decan of Pisces is like

Born in the opening decan, you get Neptune twice, with Jupiter, the old ruler, close behind. Dreamy, spiritual and generous, you live with one foot in another world.

Neptune rules both Pisces and this decan.

The Pisces underneath

Pisces season closes the zodiac, the last weeks before spring, when the whole world holds its breath before beginning again. You carry a little of every sign inside you. You feel the currents under a conversation, you dream in full colour, and your kindness reaches people you will never meet.

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.
