Sun Applying Square Garden
This square indicates a propensity for erratic behavior, eccentricity, and unwise action. The natives have originality, but often their ideas are impractical, or else they do not possess sufficient perseverance, training, experience, and discipline to carry them out.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Wheel
Selûne stationed here indicates that all the positive and negative lunar traits are accentuated and it activates the need for personal security operating in this sign.
Selûne Applying Square Anadia
This square indicates an emotionally volatile nature - the natives easily become upset and lose their temper. Their tendency to take things too personally leads to emotional outbursts. They are sometimes too independent for their own good. They want to make their own way in life and resent interference. They have domestic problems and disagreements with their parents. All this can have an adverse effect on their professional standing, reputation, and ambitions.
Selûne Separating Conjunct Karpri
This aspect indicates a highly emotional response to beauty and harmony which is often manifested in artistic ability. Women will reveal creativity in choosing clothing and preparing food. Their talent for decorating will produce beautiful environments. They have a great deal of charm in dealing with other women.
This conjunction confers sensitivity, tact, and the tendency to be affectionate, and natives find success in romance and courtship unless other factors in the horoscope militate against it. Their sensitivity to others makes them good diplomats.
Retrograde Anadia in the Third decan of the Eagle
Anadia here enjoys the power of positive direction, but must beware of exhaustive ambitions.
Anadia Separating Square Karpri
This square causes emotional problems, especially in romance and relationships with the opposite sex. Sometimes there is a tendency to use members of the opposite sex or to be used by them for purely sexual gratification. The natives may lack good taste or refinement in their social conduct. Unbridled passion can cause them great harm.
Anadia Applying Sextile H'Catha
This sextile gives a superphysical energy that can be used for healing or occult work. Sometimes there are clairvoyant faculties or strong personal magnetism. The natives are skilled in carrying out endeavors in secret or behind the scenes, thus bypassing obstacles and opposition. This aspect favors strategists, especially those who plan military maneuvers. It also favors performing artists such as dancers and actors, who must use their bodies in subtle, imaginative ways.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Swan
Coliar, when located here, is actively engaged. The mind is both versatile and intellectually oriented. There is a natural writing talent directed toward research and critical appraisals.
Coliar Separating Trine Glyth
This trine gives mental organization. It especially favors mathematicians and scientists or others who must do exact, systematic mental work in which there is little or no tolerance for error. It confers dexterity with the hands and will often be found in the charts of craftsmen who do precision work. Because of the ability it gives to deal with organizational responsibilities, this is a good aspect too for managerial work or political planning.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Wheel
Karpri in these degrees provides practical inspiration and intuition, especially if well aspected to Glyth. A conjunction with Glyth points to conflicting personal values with Karpri, the champion of non-material profit, ultimately gaining victory as Glyth is at detriment in the Cancer degrees. Negative aspects are inclined to encourage a form of paranoia when faced with too much opposition.
Chandos in the Third decan of the Eagle
Chandos here provides a sense of perseverance which is perhaps one of the strongest personal characteristics.
Chandos Applying Trine Glyth
This trine is an excellent indication of a generally responsible person with common sense, honesty, and integrity. It confers business, financial, and managerial abilities. The natives are provident, farsighted, and capable of coordinating large-scale tasks that carry with them heavy obligations. The tine favors a career in politics or public life. These natives make excellent executives and government officials. They have a good public reputation.
Chandos Applying Square Garden
This square has impulsive excess as its primary fault. Natives are impractical and idealistic, putting all their energy behind a cause, only to abandon it suddenly. They tend to go overboard and embark on all sorts of ill-defined , grandiose schemes. This aspect does not favor speculation, because some unforeseen turn of events is likely to nullify the expense and effort. Many people have lost fortunes under its influence.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Chalice
Glyth stationed here promotes passions and jealousies, and problems in personal relationships could be a most relevant aspect in the chart.
A conjunction with the star Esmel indicates the struggle or "trial" of the earthbound soul - an impartial witness who reserves judgment. Positive aspects to Esmel encourage recognition of human frailties or personal limitations. Negative aspects show a complete indifference to human suffering.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Wheel
Garden in this decan is a real bonus. It indicates a generous and charitable nature enforced with a strong sense of responsibility and resourcefulness.
H'Catha in the Second decan of the Raven
H'Catha is at fall in this decan which aggravates adverse H'Cathaian traits, and the decan encourages extreme forms of reckless behavior.
