In this discussion related to cusps(and related to everything what Dave just said about cusps and signs),maybe it is the right moment to say something about decans.How do they fit into all this?
Basicly,each sign has three decans,and each decan contains 10 degrees.It is said that first decans of any sign,are places where influence of any of those signs is the strongest(Example-In first 10 degrees of sign Virgo,the influence of that sign is be the strongest.Next two decans are ruled by next two signs ruled by the same element.In this case in the second decan will be rulled by Capricorn,and the third decan will be ruled by sign Taurus.).
How true this is?
Now we really have a lot of details,but at the same time,a position of any planet or personal point in a chart can be modified(to better or worse),depending on a position in decans.
According to this rule,the first decan of any sign is the place where the purity of that sign is the most intense.This can show us the connection with houses,where cusps(and first degrees)of any house is the place where signs or planets have the strongest influence(Example-ascedant,the cusp of first house).
