Excerpt from M. Manilii Astronomicon Liber Quartus Every sign is divided into three parts consisting of 10 degrees each, so that the zodiac, with its 360 degrees, contains 36 of them. These 36 parts, beginning with the lt of Aries, are allotted to the dominion of the 12 signs, beginning with Aries himself, in regular succession and triple recurrence, so that each sign dominates three of them, and those three fall at the three angles of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle.
