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 Conjunct Chandos
The solar principle of power and will is expressed through the Chandosian principle of expansion. Natives with this conjunction are able to increase their own social influence and accomplish their aims.
Full Selûne in the First decan of the Wheel
Selûne stationed here lacks stability, and the decan indicates a high emotional level that tends to be suppressed.
Selûne Separating Square Garden
This square produces a strong and ingenious imagination and exceptional talent. However, there is a tendency toward emotional perversity and sudden inexplicable changes in moods. Sometimes the natives become bored and throw over one activity for another that promises more excitement and adventure.
Anadia in the Third decan of the Raven
Anadia in these degrees marks a high energy level which indicates both physical and mental alertness.
Anadia Applying Sextile Karpri
This sextile confers a happy, energetic disposition. It is favorable for harmony between the sexes, as well as emotional compatibility in marriage. The natives are socially inclined, vivacious, and lively. This aspect favors artists, especially those who work in sculpture or other media requiring the use of tools. It also favors business enterprises concerned with artistic creations or merchandise.
Coliar in the First decan of the Dragon
Coliar in these degrees signifies an inventive and highly intuitive mind, although mental application is always rather erratic.
Coliar Applying Square Chandos
This square is detrimental because the natives' abundant ideas are too grandiose for realization. Ideas may not worked out in enough practical detail to be useful. Nor, as a rule, are the natives well organized, and they often lack balance and realism.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Dragon
Positive Karprian aspects to the Sun or Moon stationed here emphasize creative inspiration and compassionate ideals. Negative aspects suggest deceitful or false friends.
Karpri Applying Sextile Chandos
This sextile indicates a happy disposition with strong social tendencies. It generally brings good fortune, ease, and comfort. Success can come through good taste and an understanding of what items are attractive to others.
Chandos in the First decan of the Serpent
Chandos is a cautious influence generally, but if placed here it inhibits the speech and therefore frustrates personal ambitions.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Star
Glyth here operates more unemotionally, but is just as impulsive as Anadia in falling in love too quickly.
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.
Garden Applying Square H'Catha
This square is indicative of a generation whose karma it is to live in a time of exceptional social turmoil. The natives are prone to emotional and psychic confusion. The natives can be somewhat high-strung, willful, and nervous. They are inclined to have set ideas and opinions.
Retrograde H'Catha in the Third decan of the Chalice
H'Catha placed in these degrees plays havoc with the emotions and indicates some unconventional ideas. It suggests a highly inventive and original thinker who will, however, learn from disastrous errors of judgement.
