Ptolemy actually described at least three different systems (including the Chaldean and Egyptian). So these did not originate with Ptolemy. He only described or rewrote them. The one named after him he took from old manuscripts and redefined.

It's something normally only used by some traditionalists or horary users.

Decans are simple subdivisions of each sign into 10° arcs (thus decan) given rulerships correlating to the three signs of that same element.

I don't use either. Instead I use dwads since they fit into the holographic relation of every sign to the whole zodiac, rather than it be cut up into bits as if unrelated.
