Definition and details for sign:
Sign is an informal unit of angle measurement used in astrology. Astrologers divide the Sun's annual path through the sky (Zodiac) into 12 parts called signs and each sign corresponds one of the classic twelve constellations through which the Sun passes. So 1 sign is equal to 1/12 circle, or 30 degrees.
Definition and details for dekan:
Dekan is a unit of angle measurement equal to 10 deg, or 1/36 circle. This unit was used by ancient Egyptians, which divided the circle of the Zodiac into 36 divisions. These divisions was called by the Greeks as dekans. The unit is still used sometimes in astrology, where one dekan equals 1/3 sign.
