What are the 36 Decans of the zodiac signs?

Decans are basically separated into three divisions of 10 degrees and each sign has 3 Decans, the littlest sub-divisions of the zodiac signs. In crystal gazing, a decan is the development of a sign. To offer more full understanding of the Zodiac Hints, old celestial prophets partitioned each Sign into times of roughly ten days.
