Looking further into decanates and dwadisattvas I'm discovering a whole new layer of chart potential and it's really demystifying my chart and I'm seeing a whole new level of potential with other people's charts as well. I think that not taking decanates into account when interpreting a natal chart is a big mistake. House rulership is very important too. I've run into some problems though, see below.
My chart seems to be ruled by mostly Saturn/Capricorn and the Moon/Cancer. yet looking at the decanates, only Uranus falls into the Capricorn/Capricorn decanate of Capricorn while the Ascendant, Neptune and Saturn all fall into the Taurus decanate. My Mercury in Virgo also falls into the Taurus decanate and my 7th house, signified by Libra is loaded. Mars falls into Capricorn in the 4th house of Cancer but Pluto falls into the 2nd decan of Scorpio, ruled by Pisces, as does my Chiron and Jupiter in Cancer.
Now, if we assume that Neptune is a higher octave of Venus, it would appear that my chart is primarily ruled by that Venusian/Neptunian vibration. My Neptune conjuncts my Ascendant in the 2nd degree of Capricorn ruled by Taurus, making it more of a Venusian/Neptunian energy only shared by the Saturnine/Capricorn energy.
So far I assign a point system for each part of rulership when looking at a chart. Here's a short explanation of dwads, though I didn't use the tables and found it more efficient to find a calculator for them http://www.scribd.com/doc/26698053/Anyara-Astrology
And a quick reference for planetary rulership;

So using my chart as an example
By sign;
Aries: 0
Taurus: 1
Gemini: 0
Cancer: 2
Leo: 2
Virgo: 1
Libra: 0
Scorpio: 1
Sagittarius: 0
Capricorn: 3
Aquarius: 0
Pisces: 0
By decan;
Aries: 1 (Aries decan of Leo, Sun located there)
Taurus: 3
Gemini: 0
Cancer: 0
Leo: 1
Virgo: 0
Libra: 0
Scorpio: 0
Sagittarius: 0

Virgo: 0
Libra: 2

Sagittarius: 0
Capricorn: 0
Aquarius: 1

By house (assuming sign rulership by house);
Aries: 1 (Saturn in the First house)
Taurus: 0 (No planets in the Second)
Gemini: 0 (No planets in the Third... you get the idea)
Cancer: 1
Leo: 0
Virgo: 0
Libra: 4
Scorpio: 1
Sagittarius: 0
Capricorn: 1
Aquarius: 0
Pisces: 2
Totals
Aries: 4
Taurus: 9
Gemini: 2
Cancer: 3
Leo: 4
Virgo: 3
Libra: 6
Scorpio: 3
Sagittarius: 0
Capricorn: 6
Aquarius: 2
Pisces: 7
Ruling Planets (this is where we assign our points based on planetary rulership for the signs, for signs ruled by 2 planets we assign a point to each planet);
Sun (Ruling Leo); 4
Moon (Ruling Cancer); 3
Mercury (Ruling Virgo and Gemini); 5
Venus (Ruling Taurus and Libra); 15
Mars (Ruling Aries); 4
Jupiter (Ruling Sagittarius); 0
Saturn (Ruling Capricorn); 6
Uranus (Ruling Aquarius); 2
Neptune (Ruling Pisces); 7
Pluto (Ruling Scorpio; 3
Now obviously Venus and Mercury have double the potential points here, so in order to solve this I am stuck between wanting to divide the sum total of the points for those planets or finding dual rulership for each sign but then rulership is shared by 2 planets in all instances except Mercury and Venus where rulership is shared by 2 signs. Doing that we get this as a result,
Sun (Ruling Leo); 4
Moon (Ruling Cancer); 3
Mercury (Ruling Virgo and Gemini); 5
Venus (Ruling Taurus and Libra); 15
Mars (Ruling Aries and Scorpio); 7
Jupiter (Ruling Sagittarius and Pisces); 7
Saturn (Ruling Capricorn and Aquarius); 8
Uranus (Ruling Aquarius); 2
Neptune (Ruling Pisces); 7
Pluto (Ruling Scorpio); 3
This leaves my chart ruled by Venus then Saturn...
But this leaves out the Sun, Moon, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and gives the planets with doubles way too many potential points. Something is missing
Anyone want to perhaps correct my train of thought here? There's a missing variable I'm not taking into account, this doesn't make sense in a symmetrical way.
