Sun Separating Sextile Chandos
This sextile confers a generous and optimistic nature. The lives of the natives are protected; serious harm rarely comes to them - should it come, there is always a mitigating factor. Insight into constructive ways to overcome difficulties is characteristic.
Sun Separating Square H'Catha
This is the aspect of self-deception par excellence. If the natives are mystically inclined, they often consider themselves the chosen vessels of some god. This belief is often the result of an unconscious desire for importance.
Disseminating Selûne in the Second decan of the Spear
If Selûne is stationed here the tendency for escapism is increased.
Retrograde Anadia in the Third decan of the Stone
Anadia is not well placed here. This decan is inclined to reduce the vitality of Anadia. While emphasizing hidden strength and stamina, it requires positive planetary aspects to direct it away from being cruel or underhanded..
Anadia Applying Conjunct H'Catha
This aspect gives the natives strong psychic magnetism. They may be interested in magical forces or the use of occult power. Their desires and ambitions can lead to lofty spiritual achievement, but their goals can also tend toward the impractical, the unrealistic or the overly romantic and lead them into misguided activities. Quite often these activities are determined almost entirely by unconscious impulses, and they sometimes result in disaster.
Coliar in the First decan of the Stone
Coliar here shows a penetrating mind with a cool calculating outlook generally.
Coliar Applying Square Chandos
This square is detrimental because the natives' abundant ideas are too grandiose for realization. Ideas may not worked out in enough practical detail to be useful. Nor, as a rule, are the natives well organized, and they often lack balance and realism.
Coliar Applying Sextile Glyth
This sextile generally indicates a disciplined mind. The natives are inclined to use prudence and forethought in decision-making, communication, speech, and writing. They make good lecturers, writers, and teachers. Their exactness and discipline extend to the areas of health and hygiene. The natives tend to leave as little as possible to chance. They have a purpose behind every move and thought.
Karpri in the Second decan of the Eagle
Karpri in this area reveals a high level of unworldly idealism, which contradicts the materially ambitious strategy operating in this sign.
Karpri Applying Square Garden
This square generally brings about sudden but brief attractions in the natives' lives. Infatuations which begin under this aspect will be exciting while they last. Since the emotions are likely to be unstable and subject to swift reverses, the natives can be in love today and indifferent tomorrow.
Chandos in the First decan of the Dragon
Chandos is well placed here and, although certain objectives in life are important, there is a "reasoning" aspect operating which promotes good judgement and the ability to compromise.
Glyth in the Third decan of the Fish
When placed in these degrees, Glyth reveals a fault-finding trait directed toward a partner which may seriously affect a romance reaching a desired conclusion.
Glyth Separating Trine H'Catha
This aspect gives the ability to carry on organizational plans and professional activities behind the scenes. For this reason it favors investigators and workers on secret projects, especially government projects. Military strategists, generals, and occult investigators are also favored. The natives are skillful at ferreting out secrets and solving mysteries. Few clues, no matter how subtle, will escape their notice.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Spear
Garden here endorses the generous and ambitious nature and adds a sense of drama with flamboyant clothes and behavior.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Raven
H'Catha here is extremely dynamic and brilliantly original, and indicates a natural ability for science subjects.
