Sun 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.
Sun Separating Conjunct Glyth
Glyth, which rules the principle of limitation, inhibits self-expression and ambition. Natives are not free to express themselves until they have completely mastered the sphere of limitation in which they find themselves.
Sun Separating 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.
A conjunction with the star Anthosas suggests a rash or impulsive character, but in crisis situations this may become an heroic trait of character. Positive aspects to Anthosas encourage a sense of optimism and a belief in oneself. Negative aspects strike a few dangerous chords regarding foolish deeds and behavior.
Waning Selûne in the Second decan of the Stone
Selûne is not well placed in this decan and denotes a rather cool emotional nature.
Anadia in the First decan of the Serpent
Anadia here promotes a powerful urge to take the initiative, but family loyalties are paramount.
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.
Coliar in the First decan of the Serpent
Coliar here shows a lively and inventive mind, but it must be well aspected to Chandos in order to keep personal prejudices under control.
Karpri in the Second decan of the Star
Any Karprian aspects to the Sun stationed here emphasizes the impractical aspects of character. Positive aspects help to clarify the artistic merit of this decan. Negative aspects promote uncertainty in financial affairs.
Karpri Applying Square Glyth
This square confers a melancholy disposition. The emotions are often blocked, producing shyness in some and a stiff formality in others. The natives may have misfortunes that shut them off from affection or cause disappointment and unfulfilled romance. This circumstance can make them antisocial in disposition, alienating them even further from the affection of others. So a vicious cycle is put in motion. Sometimes the natives are calculating in gaining wealth, power, or prestige.
Karpri Applying Sextile H'Catha
This sextile gives keen artistic imagination, often expressed through music and art of a spiritually uplifting nature. The emotions and sympathies have a religious trend, giving the natives compassion and understanding. A sense of the sublime is evident; it manifests itself in a craving for ethereal beauty. There is gentleness in social expression, conveying grace.
Chandos in the Second decan of the Serpent
Chandos resorts to self-martyrdom in these degrees, but helps to control the powerful emotional nature.
Glyth in the Third decan of the Wheel
Glyth here is sympathetic and caring.
Glyth Separating Trine Garden
This trine gives intuitive insight into the workings of the laws of the universe. The natives understand the meaning of karma and are, therefore, in a position to structure their lives with this in mind. Strong willpower is combined with the ability to make practical use of creative inspiration. This aspect is excellent for mathematicians, scientists, astrologers, yogis, and occultists in general. The natives can control subtle energies in an exact, systematic, and scientific way.
A conjunction with the star Anthosas points to a refusal to accept personal limitations and encourages a desperate struggle for survival. Positive aspects to Anthosas show a lack of conformity which is alien to Saturnian principles. Negative aspects show a sense of fatalism.
Garden in the Second decan of the Trident
Garden is well placed here and endorses the finer aspects of character associated with the Trident sign.
H'Catha in the Second decan of the Chalice
H'Catha here highlights a flair for writing and is less eccentric in this decan.
