Can somebody explain to me what is a decan and a duad and how they affect the planet and the sign. In simple words.
Is a duad the same a dwad?

For example:
I have Mars Gemini, Aquarius decan and Aries duad.

Decans are 10 degrees of sort of signs within a sign. so if your mars was in 15 degrees scorpio it would be in the Pisces decan (decans are the three signs in order so 1st decan would be the sign planet is in, 2nd and third following, they are all 10 degrees)

duads is basically 30/12 = 2.5 so every 2 degrees and 30 minutes, it moves duad, it starts from 0 in that sign. so again if it was mars in scorpio, the first 2.5 degrees would be ruled by the scorpio duad, then the next 2.5 are teh sag duad, etc

Dwads are similar I THINK (im not sure but i think they are this?). they all start at aries. so the sign is split into 12 2.5 degree segments. the first 2.5 degrees would be aries, next 2.5 taurus etc
