According to most websites I am a 1st decan Virgo, but the dates vary and one of them says I am a 2nd decan Virgo. What are the correct dates—

Does the sun sign decan go by dates and the risng decan go by degrees? Just checking as if this is correct, then I am 2nd decan scorpio rising.

Thank You!

Where did you get the info from prringleo? Why does everyone have different cut off dates? Does the year make a difference?

....There are so many astrology theories out here....

lol Aren't there?

First decan = first 10 days

Second decan = second ten days

Third decan = last ten days of your sign.

The sun spends about 30 days in a sign. I don't think the year matters either.

Exactly! Prringleo's chart puts me a 2nd decan. Purrrfect's 10 day approach puts me a 1st decan. The 1st decan describes me better. But why are there different scales on this?

Different scales for every astrologers opinion. In the end it's really what YOU can relate to, right?

In my opinion I don't really place much emphasis on decans or cusps. Both can be quite confusing.
