1.28 ARIES DECAN
1.28 ARIES: Ruling Planet: Mars
*******************************
First Decan: March 21 – 30. Planets: Mars and Jupiter
Aries, as the fiery head of the zodiac, begins with its own planet, Mars, as the prime influence of the first decan. This means simply that persons born in this period will have the firm, assertive disposition that marks the Martian drive. The influence of Jupiter a carry-over from the previous sign, adds brilliance to the Arian nature; but any trend toward triviality will weaken this. Here is a fearless nature that should guard against becoming too headstrong.
Second Decan: March 31—April 9. Planet: the Sun
Here is an excellent combination, with the Sun supplying generosity, nobility, and leadership to the aggressiveness of the Martian temperament. Negative factors are the only problem. The dignity and magnetic qualities of the Sun may give way to vainglory, if the aggressive Martian nature is allowed to rule.

********************************
To give fuller interpretation to the signs of the zodiac, they have been divided into periods of approximately ten days, called the “decans” or “decantes” which cover modifications of individual traits. These are attributed to minor planetary influences, which temper or blend with the ruling influence of the period. A study of these is therefore helpful in forming the individual horoscope, but they are always to be regard as subordinate to the ruling planet.
