Selûne Separating Square Garden

Anadia in the Second decan of the Raven

This aspect gives the natives strong psychic magnetism. They may be interested in magical forces or the use of occult power. Their desires and ambitions can lead to lofty spiritual achievement, but their goals can also tend toward the impractical, the unrealistic or the overly romantic and lead them into misguided activities. Quite often these activities are determined almost entirely by unconscious impulses, and they sometimes result in disaster.

Natives with this opposition, especially if they are well-to-do, can be spoiled and overly involved in meaningless social activity. Laziness, self-indulgence, and love of luxury may be in evidence. Sometimes they have the attitude that everything should be done for them, particularly if they are born into affluence.

Chandos in the First decan of the Dragon
Chandos is well placed here and, although certain objectives in life are important, there is a "reasoning" aspect operating which promotes good judgement and the ability to compromise.
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.
