Seems to me that if a planet "is in a term or not", it is also in a sign or not.

Hi greybeard,

Some of the Greek astrologers consider a planet weak until it reaches 4 deg (0-29) then strongest at 14 deg and then its strength fades as it reaches the end of the sign.

That logic isn't applied to decans or terms. If Mars is the decan or term, then the impact of Mars on a planet in a decan or term of Mars is the same for every degree of the term/decan. That just seems inconsistent to me.
