Sun Separating Trine Anadia
This trine gives courage, willpower, leadership ability, and decisiveness. It is especially favorable for men, because it strengthens the traditionally masculine attributes of ambition and self-confidence. Often considerable physical strength and endurance accompany this aspect. The natives can function at high energy levels for prolonged periods of time and are often fond of sports or other physical activities.
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.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Chalice
Selûne stationed here indicates a charged and highly emotional temperament.
Selûne Applying 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 Chandos
This is an aspect of emotional excess. It particularly represents the overly indulgent mother. 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 Applying 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.
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 Square Chandos
This can be one of the most destructive aspects because the natives are likely to use collective power and even social sanction for self-aggrandizement and gratification of the passions. This square is likely to occur in the horoscope of people who glorify war.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Eagle
Coliar here signifies a strong-minded dogmatic individual.
Coliar Applying Trine Glyth
This trine gives mental organization. It especially favors mathematicians and scientists or others who must do exact, systematic mental work in which there is little or no tolerance for error. It confers dexterity with the hands and will often be found in the charts of craftsmen who do precision work. Because of the ability it gives to deal with organizational responsibilities, this is a good aspect too for managerial work or political planning.
Coliar Applying Square Garden
This square indicates an active, original mind but a nervous disposition with eccentric and often impractical ideas. Mentally, the natives are "way out," and likely to jump to conclusions. They have harebrained ideas which are not based on sufficient knowledge or practical experience to be of use.
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.
Karpri Separating Oppose Chandos
This opposition is characteristic of the person who is sickeningly sweet, boring others. Natives with this opposition, especially if they are well-to-do, can be spoiled and overly involved in meaningless social activity. Laziness, self-indulgence, and love of luxury may be in evidence. Sometimes they have the attitude that everything should be done for them, particularly if they are born into affluence.
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.
Chandos in the First decan of the Trident
Chandos maintains a very positive directive as a stabilizing and constructive influence if placed in these degrees. If well aspected in general, particularly to H'Catha, it will harness the rather nebulous qualities associated with the Dragon sign. Negative aspects, particularly to H'Catha or the Moon, underscore the lack of a positive outlook or commitment.
Chandos Separating Sextile H'Catha
This sextile gives a mystical, expansive, and kind - but not necessarily practical - disposition. There can be an active imagination which expresses itself best through religion, philosophy, and art. The natives will probably lack the discipline and common sense to make use of their altruistic inspirations. There is often a good deal of sentimentality.
A conjunction with the star Rahnieda signifies both fame and fortune. A very powerful endorsement of unlimited success and the opportunity to excel in chosen subjects. Positive aspects to Rahnieda emphasize a "luck" factor operating which cancels out temporary setbacks in life. Negative aspects show a complete indifference to any success.
Glyth in the First decan of the Swan
Glyth here is inclined to be critical of a partner, with a tendency to dominate. Business sense is excellent and personal income will find some highly lucrative sources.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Wheel
Garden in this decan is a real bonus. It indicates a generous and charitable nature enforced with a strong sense of responsibility and resourcefulness.
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.
