Sun Separating Square Anadia
Natives with this aspect tend to be their own worst enemies because of their overly vigorous, impulsive behavior. Obstacles to their self-expression in action generate frustration and anger, which in turn cause them to try to achieve their desires by force. This tendency arouses resentment in others, who consider them brash and egotistical.
Sun Separating Square Coliar
This square creates a nervous disposition with a tendency for the unconscious mind to interfere with conscious, reasoning processes. The natives' thinking may be so much tied to the past that it interferes with objectivity and open-mindedness. There can be preoccupation with trivialities and emotional whims, which stand in the way of more worthwhile mental pursuits.
Sun Separating Oppose Glyth
This opposition tends to block the self-expression of the natives and to make them somewhat cold when they try to reach out to others. Their reserve and formality can cause difficulties in friendship and romance. Sometimes the natives have to shoulder heavy responsibilities, which may be imposed by friends, partners, or spouses.
Sun Applying Trine Garden
This trine gives personal magnetism, spiritual insight, leadership ability, and creativity. There is the ability to tap the Universal Mind to some extent. The natives' minds are inclined toward scientific and occult studies. The natives have strong wills and are willing to experiment in new realms of experience: They may spearhead reform and champion new ideas and inventions.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Chalice
Selûne stationed here indicates a charged and highly emotional temperament.
Retrograde Anadia in the Third decan of the Serpent
Anadia stationed here shows personal loyalty and a strong sense of purpose or ambition, plus a passionate love-life.
Anadia Applying Conjunct Coliar
The native with this conjunction has a sharp mind and abundant mental energy. There is a tendency to take sides and become involved in partisan causes. This is a good aspect for reporters or investigators, of whom action for gaining information is required. The native is mentally aggressive and will say exactly what he thinks, letting the chips fall where they may. He is decisive and acts upon his decisions.
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 Separating Square Glyth
This square can indicate a harsh and austere disposition. The actions of the natives may be continually frustrated, leading to resentment and negative attitudes. There can be a sullen anger in the natives' dispositions. Their ambitions are often blocked, and there can be difficulties in relating to others, especially in partnerships and marriage.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Wheel
Coliar placed in these degrees is another restless directive which indicates a lack of practical application of the mind.
Coliar Separating Square Karpri
This square tends to create financial and social problems in the domestic sphere. The affections are bestowed indiscriminately, leading to problems in love and unhappiness in marriage. The natives are too trusting of spouses or partners and as a result are taken advantage of. Unwise romantic and sexual involvements are characteristic.
Coliar Separating Square Glyth
This square indicates a tendency to excessive worry. Sometimes the natives are mentally inhibited, or too tied to traditional ways of thinking. There may be a lack of imagination, or concern over unimportant details. Ironically, when these natives do have ideas of their own, they have difficulty in gaining recognition and acceptance of them because of opposition from the established way of thinking.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Trident
Any Karprian aspects to the Sun stationed here will help to clarify the creative potentiality of the Trident sign.
Karpri Applying Conjunct Glyth
This aspect is often found in the horoscope of talented artists. Glyth gives form, structure, and concrete practical expression to the artistic tendencies of Karpri, as well as the patience necessary for attention to detail. Since Glyth rules time as well as space, musicians can be favored by a good sense of rhythm, harmony, and melody.
Chandos in the Third decan of the Wheel
Chandos located here adds a firm sense of self-discipline, though the need for security encourages a certain miserliness. If well aspected, particularly to the Moon, it will strengthen the special integrity associated with the Golden Wheel sign. Negative aspects, while causing a few personal limitations, strengthen personal resolve.
Glyth in the First decan of the Star
Glyth here arouses the Anadian desires and strong and erotic passions dominate.
Glyth Separating Sextile Garden
This sextile is favorable for endeavors that require the ability to apply original ideas in a practical way. It represents the true freedom and opportunities that result from self-discipline and from conscientiously discharging one's responsibilities. The natives make loyal, dependable friends who can be relied upon for truthfulness as well as good advice in finding constructive solutions to problems.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Swan
Garden here resorts to extreme behavior that is both self-indulgent and generous.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Serpent
H'Catha here emphasizes leadership qualities, but personal loyalties can become misplaced.
