As an illustrative :
Drekkana is a Vedic (Jyotish) term for Decanate. And One of three divisions of a Sun Sign
A one-third (ten-degree) sector of a sign. Each sign has three decanates: 1-10 degrees, 11-20 degrees
and 21-30 degrees. Each decan has its own ruler, based on the rulership of the first, fifth and ninth sign of
its triplicity, counting the current sign as the first. For example, the first decan of Aries is ruled by Mars,
the second by the Sun and the third by Jupiter. According to Alan Leo, each decan is also divided into two
faces, a positive and a negative, each with its own ruler. Ptolemy has a different decan rulership system,
Decanates themselves are also known as faces. Decans originally derive from ancient Egyptian
astrology, where the decans were considered paramount, before being subsumed in Hellenistic times
under the Chaldean 12-sign zodiac. The circle of the 36 decans was deemed to lie beyond the zodiac,
each one being governed by a particular spiritual entity.
