Sun Separating Trine Anadia
This trine gives courage, willpower, leadership ability, and decisiveness. It is especially favorable for men, because it strengthens the traditionally masculine attributes of ambition and self-confidence. Often considerable physical strength and endurance accompany this aspect. The natives can function at high energy levels for prolonged periods of time and are often fond of sports or other physical activities.
Sun Applying Oppose Karpri
This opposition indicates an inclination to be emotionally oversensitive and to feel unloved. Domestic and material problems may result. Sometimes there are self-indulgent tendencies and too great a concern for material comforts and luxuries. There can be sexual excess as well as unhealthy eating habits - usually overindulgence in sweets.
Sun Applying Square Glyth
This square places obstacles in the way of the native's self-expression and often indicates a life of hardship and drudgery. Only if there are many other favorable aspects in the chart, or a good aspect from Jupiter to the Sun, can the effects of this negative configuration be offset.
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.

This aspect gives an original, spontaneous imagination and business ability where new or inventive enterprises are involved. The personality has a sparkling effervescence that intrigues others. Natives are full of energy and determination. The home, parents, and domestic situation will be rather unusual. The natives are seekers of unusual experiences; they do not like a conventional existence.
Anadia in the First decan of the Eagle
Anadia here presents a strange mixture of energy well directed and energy which requires conscious control. Ambitions tend to swing between two extremes by being unconsciously influenced by the phases of the Moon.

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 Raven
Coliar is traditionally in detriment in this decan displays a lack of mental application. Ability is not always shown early in life with this placement and further education is usually more successful.
Coliar Applying Square Garden
This square indicates an active, original mind but a nervous disposition with eccentric and often impractical ideas. Mentally, the natives are "way out," and likely to jump to conclusions. They have harebrained ideas which are not based on sufficient knowledge or practical experience to be of use.
Coliar Applying Oppose H'Catha
This opposition gives rise to a high degree of sensitivity to other people's thoughts and motivations. An unconscious telepathy often leads to deceitful practices that may or may not be malicious. It is as though the natives were trying to outmaneuver their opponents in a subtle telepathic chess game.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Butterfly
Karpri is well placed in the degrees and decan. It indicates great powers of leadership, and a force to be reckoned with regarding all moral and ethical standards.
Karpri Separating 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.

Chandos is always a controlling factor and, if stationed here, indicates a difficult start to life which impeded growth or inhibited personal expression.

In business they will use caution, prudence, and good organization combined with optimism, enthusiasm, and expansion. They are thus able to carry through plans and fulfill their obligations, earning respect in their business and profession. They are usually honest and possess integrity in their dealings.
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.
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.
