The Three Decans of Cancer

The first decan of Cancer is ruled by Venus.

A sociable and amiable disposition, generous character, kind and attractive nature; many friends; supporters among women of position; good social standing, and success in the artistic world. A fondness for pleasure and for personal decoration marks this decan of Cancer.

The second decan of Cancer is ruled by Mercury.

Gives a strong imaginative intellect; makes a clever writer, a lover of travel and learning; renders the native loquacious and sometimes a tattler, and confers wealth or fame by the use of the pen, but the native makes enemies by too free use of the tongue.

The third decan of Cancer is ruled by Moon.

Love of romance travelling, adventure, and mystical subjects. Gives public recognition and a certain popularity, honourable or otherwise, according to the position of the Moon at birth; gives many sea voyages and constant changes in life, patronage of women, and acquisition of property.
