Drekkana / Dreshkana / Decante
In Vedic Astrology it is referred as Drekkana /Dreshkana
(mostly Drekkana) and is 1/3 of a sign equal to 10 degrees:
there are three Drekkana in each sign. Drekkana holds an
important position in divisional charts. Various ancient and
classical texts have mentioned different methods of calculating
Drekkana. Generally known Drekkana (D3) are as follows:1. Parashara Drekkana
2. Jagannath Drekkana
3. Somanath Drekkana
4. Privritti-traya Drekkana
lazy, back biter and ill-behaved. But if all three (among Sun,
Moon and Ascendant) rises in benefic Decante (and their lord of
Decante are also powerful) then native would be blessed,
intelligent, soft spoken and successful.
Authors Note
I generally use Parashara Drekkana only and therefore have
not elaborated on the other three Drekkanas. Those interested
in Jagannath Drekkana, Somnath Drekkana and Privritti-traya
Drekkana may do their own research.
