English term or phrase: face
"Face [in Astrology] the 3d part of a sign, each side being supposed to be divided into 4 faces; each consisting of 10 degrees" - this is an entry in the Dictionarium Britannicum. Would anyone know how "face" is translated into German in this context? I only have a list of terms, so there is no further context.

Thanks in advance,

The current chart is a talisman of the Second Face or Decan of Libra. You can order a silver Second Face of Libra talisman! The 36 decan or faces are of great antiquity and I teach their ancient magic in my Decan/Face Mini-Course and and in my full Astrological Magic Course.

Als Gesicht wird das Dekan in der arabischen Tradition der Astrologie bezeichnet, wie sie von Albohazen erstmals überliefert wurde.

"Dekanat" als Variante zu "Dekan" geht natürlich auch.
