Sun Applying Square Selûne
The effects of this adverse aspect are not as specific as those of squares from the Sun to the planets. However, the aspect does create a conflict between the conscious will and the unconscious and inherited habit patterns. Self-expression is hampered by these habits, and the disharmony causes them emotional insecurity.
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 Applying Square Chandos
This square often signifies ill-considered extravagance in self-expression. The natives want to accomplish too much too fast, without sufficient discipline or forethought. Their self-image can be unrealistic and exaggerated and can therefore frustrate them when they attempt to broaden their self-expression.
Disseminating Selûne in the Third decan of the Spear
If Selûne is stationed here the emotions are affectionate but uneven.
Selûne Applying Oppose Anadia
This opposition indicates a volatile and emotional nature. The natives often lose their tempers over petty annoyances, especially domestic ones, and consequently damage social and domestic relationships. Alcoholism is also a danger. There is a tendency to be very argumentative under the influence of drink. Their impulsiveness may make them act irrationally.
Selûne Applying Conjunct Chandos
This aspect confers sympathy and generosity. The natives wish to bring good to others. Their concern with social welfare, if put into political action, yields a return of good karma; consequently, they are usually trusted - especially by women - and receive the cooperation and help of others.
Anadia in the Second decan of the Dragon
Anadia placed here is an odd mixture of energies. This decan reveals a high energy level which can become blocked or frustrated while also indicating a certain amount of self-determination, albeit conducted through unpredictable actions.
Anadia Applying Oppose Chandos
This opposition produces extravagant tendencies, especially with other people's money. Often the natives appear to be outgoing and friendly, but as a rule this attitude only serves their own interest - often their holy crusades are designed to promote their own material well-being, their sense of importance, or both.
Anadia Applying Trine H'Catha
This trine indicates an energized psychic nature, which can be used in healing or in occult work. The natives have a special aptitude for sensing danger and making adjustments to offset it. Their keen sensitivity permits them to detect insincerity in others. The ability to act decisively in a secretive manner also accompanies the trine. This enables the natives to outmaneuver their opponents and achieve their goals without interference from others.
A conjunction with the star Mystra's Star indicates a forceful individual determined to confront and conquer the fear of the unknown. Positive aspects to Mystra's Star emphasize great personal courage in times of national or family crises. Negative aspects show foolish acts of bravery which undermine personal safety.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Eagle
Coliar here signifies a strong-minded dogmatic individual.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Stone
Karpri in the Scorpio degrees is inclined to encourage a fatalistic approach to life, and the decan accentuates the highly intuitive and psychic nature.
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 Trine Garden
This trine indicates an effervescent, fun-loving nature that is full of surprises and tends to see the bright side of life. It gives a spontaneous quality which is especially favorable for the performing arts. The natives frequently have exciting romances and marriages, unusual friends, and much popularity. There can also be sudden good fortune in financial matters.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Star
Chandos here stresses the intellectual capacity and reveals a generally more serious attitude.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Trident
Glyth stationed in this decan and degrees shows a lack of care concerning finances or material wealth, but for personal relationships it promises some wonderful romances.
Garden in the Third decan of the Trident
Garden is well placed in this this decan regarding a good sense of humour and an inbuilt optimism.
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.
