Self-expression is hampered by these habits, and the disharmony causes them emotional insecurity.
Sun Applying 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.

There is a tendency to be foolishly generous by befriending people who have a good sob story; often these natives lose money as a result. Generosity is a noble virtue, but it must be tempered with discrimination in order to accomplish good results.
Selûne Separating Sextile H'Catha
This sextile is definitely an aspect of psychic potentialities. Often intuition plays a role in creating opportunity for financial and domestic progress. These mystic inclinations lead the natives to join fraternities and organizations of an occult nature. The aspect expands the imagination into the realms of the transcendental.
