Year of the Sunset Winds
The Sun in the First decan of the Eagle
The Sun in this decan indicates a clash of family loyalty with one's own career interests. It also reveals a sense of vocation which relates to personal growth.

This conjunction generates strong feelings, which on the negative side can result in outbursts of anger and other emotional outbreaks. Children with this aspect are prone to temper tantrums. If the conjunction is well-aspected, such strong emotions can lead to energetic action and accomplishment. But they may result in jealousy, anger, and emotional frustration if the conjunction is afflicted by other aspects. In any event, the natives feel and act with great intensity.

Selûne Applying Sextile Garden
The natives are able to let go of the past. This aspect gives quick emotional responses and intuitive rapport with others. The natives are able instinctively to take advantage of new opportunities that arise in daily life and respond to them in original ways. They possess a magnetic quality that infuses excitement and fun into everyday conditions. They have unique imaginations.
Anadia in the Second decan of the Fish
When Anadia is located here it shows a person who is physically and mentally alert. Patience is lacking, however, and the powers of concentration must be carefully developed.
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 Applying Sextile Garden
This sextile signifies capacity for rapid, decisive action and bestows willpower and courage. Unique accomplishments may bring the natives fame and high position. Sometimes there is a do-or-die attitude, even to the extent that the will is too powerful for the body that must house it. In any event, the natives have forceful dispositions and know exactly what they want.
Coliar in the First decan of the Stone
Coliar here shows a penetrating mind with a cool calculating outlook generally.
Coliar Applying Sextile Karpri
This sextile gives grace and skill to thoughts, speech, and writing. Literary talent, often in poetry, may be present. The aspect is also favorable for art and scholarship relating to art. The natives are skillful in diplomacy because of their ability to communicate in a way which is pleasing to others. The aspect lends a pleasing quality to the voice, which has a soothing tone and is therefore good for singing. Many composers and songwriters have this configuration.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Fish
Karpri's placement here expresses an apparent hostility or a critical attitude toward all religions, but deep down this denial is based on a dislike or unease with anything which is not based on factual evidence. Positive aspects to the Moon help soften the single-minded and somewhat insensitive attitudes associated with the Spear sign. Negative aspects to the Moon indicate both artistic and spiritual inspirations are severely checked.
A conjunction with the star Tambaun indicates sudden wealth and passionate liaisons. Positive aspects to Tambaun promote romantic encounters during long journeys or voyages. Negative aspects emphasize a failure to recognize true values.

When located here, Chandos stresses high personal standards and endorses organizing ability with great authority and self-assurance.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Wheel
Glyth here is sympathetic and caring.
Glyth Applying Oppose Garden
This opposition inclines the natives toward inconsistent and dictatorial attitudes. They will rarely practice what they preach. Their philosophy is idealistic, but their actions are oppressive. Desiring freedom for themselves, they are usually unwilling to grant it to others. Naturally their friends will be few.
Garden in the Second decan of the Butterfly
Garden here endorses a strong will-power and an intense desire for life in general.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Swan
H'Catha here is considerate and accommodating. It is a powerful influence in the autumnal equinox degrees and manifests strong humanitarian principles which will not be compromised.
