Dwa-da-Shamsas (Dwads)
Introduction to Zodiac Signs - 4
- written by Philip Graves - 3 Jan 2004
A further subdivision of the decanates with their secondary sign influences as expounded in the first table above is into 2½º portions called Dwa-da-Shamsas or Dwads. The tertiary sign influence of the first dwad in each decan is accorded as for the secondary influence of the decan; then each subsequent dwad takes on a tertiary coloration of the following sign in the zodiac. Thus, for example, the complete dwad listing for Aries is as follows:
Dwad.....|.Sign Influences...............|
0º-2½º...|.Aries-Aries-Aries.............|
2½º-5º...|.Aries-Aries-Taurus............|
5º-7½º...|.Aries-Aries-Gemini............|
7½º-10º..|.Aries-Aries-Cancer............|
10º-12½º.|.Aries-Leo-Leo.................|
12½º-15º.|.Aries-Leo-Virgo...............|
15º-17½º.|.Aries-Leo-Libra...............|
17½º-20º.|.Aries-Leo-Scorpio.............|
20º-22½º.|.Aries-Sagittarius-Sagittarius.|
22½º-25º.|.Aries-Sagittarius-Capricorn...|
25º-27½º.|.Aries-Sagittarius-Aquarius....|
27½º-30º.|.Aries-Sagittarius-Pisces......|
According to Bernice Grebner, the decanate influence shows the purpose of the sign placement for the individual, while the dwad influence shows the conditions influencing the individual, or the means of dealing with problems presented by the placement.
