Sun Applying Trine Chandos
The enthusiastic, optimistic, outgoing quality of this trine is directed into religious, philosophic, legal, social, and community affairs rather than into personal physical action.
Sun Applying Trine Glyth
This trine indicates an honest, practical, circumspect, and conservative disposition. The natives do not waste energy or resources; everything is geared toward a useful and practical objective. Good organizational ability and powers of concentration go hand in hand with this aspect. The natives exercise a high degree of discipline and generally fulfill their ambitions through hard work.
Waning Selûne in the Third decan of the Stone
Selûne is at fall in these degrees, which accentuates powerful emotions.
Anadia in the Third decan of the Swan
Anadia is in detriment in this decan, which means a fluctuation of energy hampers the performance of Anadia.
Anadia Applying Square H'Catha
This square generates peculiar emotional desires, arising from deep levels of the unconscious. Very often unconscious habit patterns that are not appropriate to the present reality negatively influence the actions of the natives. This square can have various effects, depending on whether the natives' desires are repressed or expressed. If they are repressed, the square is likely to manifest itself in a form of neurosis, perhaps of a sexual or psychosomatic nature.
Coliar in the Third decan of the Butterfly
Coliar is not well placed in the degrees or decan, and although the Butterfly character is generally broad-minded and has a natural flair for writing, a restlessness or lack of application will have to be brought under control.
Coliar Applying Sextile H'Catha
This sextile gives intuitive insight and a fertile imagination. There is harmony and good communication between the conscious reasoning mind and the unconscious mind. The perceptions are keen and delicate and sometimes are manifested through clairvoyant faculties.
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 Glyth
This square confers a melancholy disposition. The emotions are often blocked, producing shyness in some and a stiff formality in others. The natives may have misfortunes that shut them off from affection or cause disappointment and unfulfilled romance. This circumstance can make them antisocial in disposition, alienating them even further from the affection of others. So a vicious cycle is put in motion. Sometimes the natives are calculating in gaining wealth, power, or prestige.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Chalice
Chandos is always a controlling factor and, if stationed here, indicates a difficult start to life which impeded growth or inhibited personal expression.
Chandos Applying Trine Glyth
This trine is an excellent indication of a generally responsible person with common sense, honesty, and integrity. It confers business, financial, and managerial abilities. The natives are provident, farsighted, and capable of coordinating large-scale tasks that carry with them heavy obligations. The tine favors a career in politics or public life. These natives make excellent executives and government officials. They have a good public reputation.
Glyth in the First decan of the Butterfly
Glyth is well placed here as traditional ruler of the degrees and decan. It exhibits a certain loyalty and generosity toward partners.
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.
