Sun Applying Oppose H'Catha
This opposition confuses the natives in their romantic, religious, and private relationships. Very often there is distortion in their understanding of others because their perceptions tend to be colored by biases arising from limited and perhaps one-sided emotional experiences in the past.
A conjunction with the star Mystra's Star indicates a highly psychic and prophetic nature. Positive aspects to Mystra's Star unlock latent personal potential and encourages a greater awareness of cosmic influences. Negative aspects show a lack of synchronism between the conscious and unconscious self.
3rd Qtr Selûne in the Second decan of the Swan
Selûne here increases the business acumen, but encourages a tendency to worry or become anxious for quick results.
Selûne Applying Conjunct Coliar
This aspect represents a direct linking of the unconscious mind and the conscious reasoning mind. The native is intellectually aware of his emotional nature and responses - especially to other people - and his conscious thoughts and interpersonal communications have an immediate effect upon his emotional responses. (He is particularly sensitive to what other people think of him.)
Selûne 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.
Selûne Separating Square Glyth
This square generates a condition of melancholia and unhappiness. The natives have a bleak view of life and lack emotional vitality. Very often they have a mother complex or some other inhibition stemming from early childhood experiences: they tend to be emotional prisoners of the past.
Anadia in the Second decan of the Butterfly
Anadia is not well placed in these degrees, and the decan indicates a liking for revenge if thwarted.
Anadia Separating Trine Karpri
This trine is emotionally energizing and artistically inclined. The natives are fun-loving and, usually have sex appeal. They know how to appeal to others emotionally and are at ease in their relationships with the opposite sex. There is usually creative talent in music, art, and drama and the energy and willpower to give that talent concrete expression.
Anadia Separating Trine Glyth
It indicates an ability for hard work and serious, purposeful action. Energy is seldom wasted but is applied to produce a maximum of useful results. A tremendous willpower applied with systematic patience characterizes this trine. Since Glyth lends mathematical precision to the combination, the natives often possess engineering skills, especially where mechanical devices are required. They are highly ambitious and will work hard to attain positions of authority and managerial command.
Anadia Separating Square Garden
This square tends to cause recklessness and dangerous sudden action. The natives are too impulsive for their own good. The natives are prone to disagree with their friends and associates.
Coliar in the Third decan of the Swan
While indicating an impartial or good reasoning ability, Coliar here stresses the tendency to delay decisions and the general use of delaying tactics because of a basic lack of will-power.
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.
Karpri in the Second decan of the Wheel
Karpri here is both uplifting and questioning. A conjunction with Chandos indicates involvement with charitable groups or animal welfare lobbies. Positive aspects to Chandos encourage a "helping hand." Negative aspects show a hypersensitive nature which may prove disastrous for financial affairs.
Chandos in the First decan of the Fish
This placement of Chandos reveals powerful characteristics.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Serpent
Glyth here emphasizes an artistic talent and a rather extravagant nature regarding clothes and expensive gifts.
Garden in the First decan of the Spear
Garden is in the exalted position in this decan and indicates a most tolerant or impartial character.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Spear
H'Catha here adds a personal style to the powers of leadership, particularly if well aspected to Anadia.
