What did you think about Dwads?

Question

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.

I calculated my horoscope chart from http://www.astrozoom.com and it gives all information about your planets .... hold your mouse over the planet... or sensitive point (AC/DC etc.).... it will open a window with lots of info.... including, the decans and dwads...

if share your knowledge i would be glad. i catch lot of things from the dwads and they are very meaningful.

Answer 1

I LOVE the dwads and use them all the time.

They give an added dimension to astrology that is needed, and helps to explain a lot of behaviors that otherwise remain "mysterious". :-)

Answer 2

planet positions in degree minute and secondse
