Not all Geminis are alike! Not all Capricorns are alike, either! Let’s dig in on ELEMENTAL DECANS — where every sign has 3 totally different (degree-based/date-based) vibes.

If you’ve ever felt like you are NOT LIKE other people of the same zodiac sign, this Chart Harmony exploration of elemental decans will validate everything your gut was already telling you. (Don’t you LOVE IT when that happens?)

Here’s a handy PDF to go with this livestream exploration of the elemental decans (no opt-in required; you’re welcome).

The simple Chart Harmony formula is: “The planet is the WHAT, the sign is the HOW, and the house is the WHERE.” The decans flavor that HOW part of things, as each set of 10 degrees around the chartwheel has another ruler along with the sign’s ruler. They work together to flavor how the HOW is done.

The most straightforward way to look at the decans is via the Sun’s trip around your natal chartwheel. Notice how the general woo weather feels slightly different, decan to decan. As your Chart Harmony confidence deepens, explore the moves of other planets through the decans. Notice the rulership nuance too!

In addition to the differences in each sign that are due to shifts in decan rulership, there’s also the MISSION of each decan to keep in mind.

The first decan represents a quest for discovery.
The second decan focuses on a quest for understanding.
And the third decan is where we find planets and placements that are on a quest for mastery.

Try to layer on these shifts in meaning as you’re playing with the various element-based shifts of rulership for all 36 decans!
