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 Applying Oppose Karpri
This opposition indicates an inclination to be emotionally oversensitive and to feel unloved. Domestic and material problems may result. Sometimes there are self-indulgent tendencies and too great a concern for material comforts and luxuries. There can be sexual excess as well as unhealthy eating habits - usually overindulgence in sweets.
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 Trine Glyth
The natives are cautious and conservative. They are honest and possess a great deal of common sense. They have organizational ability and can endure hardship when necessary in order to achieve long-range goals. They can be shrewd and have business acumen.
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 Sextile Karpri
This sextile confers a happy, energetic disposition. It is favorable for harmony between the sexes, as well as emotional compatibility in marriage. The natives are socially inclined, vivacious, and lively. This aspect favors artists, especially those who work in sculpture or other media requiring the use of tools. It also favors business enterprises concerned with artistic creations or merchandise.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Eagle
Coliar here signifies a strong-minded dogmatic individual.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Swan
Karpri is well placed here in terms of relating to others. Its position in the autumnal equinox degrees displays a genuine empathy or identification with suffering, particularly the inhumane treatment of animals.
Karpri Applying Conjunct Glyth
This aspect is often found in the horoscope of talented artists. Glyth gives form, structure, and concrete practical expression to the artistic tendencies of Karpri, as well as the patience necessary for attention to detail. Since Glyth rules time as well as space, musicians can be favored by a good sense of rhythm, harmony, and melody.
Karpri Applying Square H'Catha
This square causes emotional problems connected with the unconscious mind and the imagination. Since emotional and sexual problems may arise out of past experience that lies deep in the unconscious, the aspect can have a karmic connotation.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Wheel
Chandos located here adds a firm sense of self-discipline, though the need for security encourages a certain miserliness. If well aspected, particularly to the Moon, it will strengthen the special integrity associated with the Golden Wheel sign. Negative aspects, while causing a few personal limitations, strengthen personal resolve.
Chandos Separating Conjunct Garden
This aspect creates unusual opportunities and breakthroughs in expansion and growth for the natives. Such advantages come through the introduction of new methods and from unexpected sources, very often from friends.
The natives are likely to travel suddenly. They are given opportunities for training and education that open new possibilities for business and profit, frequently in scientific fields.
Chandos Separating Trine H'Catha
This is primarily an aspect for mysticism. The natives are receptive to spiritual influences. Their intuitive tendencies will be more along the path of love and emotion, rather than mental discrimination and insight. The natives are fond of grand ceremony, drama, mystery, and religious music. They like to be overwhelmed by a feeling of awe and to lose themselves in the sea of religious ecstasy.
Glyth in the Third decan of the Swan
Glyth stationed in the equinox degrees is a powerful indication of a highly discriminating character. All the strengths and weaknesses relating to Glyth are accented, but overall it endorses the refined nature associated with the Vine sign. Personal charisma and sexual magnetism are pronounced. The planetary aspects help determine the extent of the strengths and weaknesses - polarities are particularly revealing.
Glyth Separating Square H'Catha
This square has a morbid connotation and is likely to give rise to fears, anxieties, neuroses, and phobias that stem from the unconscious. If the rest of the map indicates it, there is danger of confinement or institutionalization because of mental illness.
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.
Garden Separating Trine H'Catha
This trine indicates highly developed spiritual faculties. Since it is of long duration, it affects a whole generation and is not especially significant in an individual horoscope. It gives the natives a decided leaning toward the mystical and occult.
H'Catha in the First decan of the Eagle
H'Catha here endorses the powers of leadership with humanitarian ideals.
