Sun Applying Square Selûne
The effects of this adverse aspect are not as specific as those of squares from the Sun to the planets. However, the aspect does create a conflict between the conscious will and the unconscious and inherited habit patterns. Self-expression is hampered by these habits, and the disharmony causes them emotional insecurity.
Sun Applying Square Anadia
Natives with this aspect tend to be their own worst enemies because of their overly vigorous, impulsive behavior. Obstacles to their self-expression in action generate frustration and anger, which in turn cause them to try to achieve their desires by force. This tendency arouses resentment in others, who consider them brash and egotistical.
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.
Sun Applying Square Chandos
This square often signifies ill-considered extravagance in self-expression. The natives want to accomplish too much too fast, without sufficient discipline or forethought. Their self-image can be unrealistic and exaggerated and can therefore frustrate them when they attempt to broaden their self-expression.
Gibbous Selûne in the Second decan of the Serpent
Selûne here is powerfully placed and emphasizes all the lunar traits - good and bad. The powerful psychic energy associated with the Serpent sign is fully activated and signifies a natural clairvoyant. If well aspected generally, particularly to Karpri, there is much sympathy and support for partner and family. If badly aspected, the negative lunar traits will create considerable problems in all areas of life.
Selûne Applying Oppose Anadia
This opposition indicates a volatile and emotional nature. The natives often lose their tempers over petty annoyances, especially domestic ones, and consequently damage social and domestic relationships. Alcoholism is also a danger. There is a tendency to be very argumentative under the influence of drink. Their impulsiveness may make them act irrationally.
Selûne Applying Oppose Coliar
This opposition indicates confusion and irritation in social relationships, resulting from the natives' incessant talking about trivial matters. Unconscious emotional patterns can distort the natives' ability to think and to communicate clearly and objectively. They take criticism too personally.
Selûne Applying Oppose Chandos
This opposition indicates a tendency to get carried away by benevolent impulses. The natives lack wisdom and discrimination in bestowing kindness. Problems in their relationships are likely to arise because they are duped by others or they promise more than they can deliver. Extravagance, waste, and disorder are some of the vices to which the natives are prone.
Anadia in the Third decan of the Butterfly
Anadia is rather uncertain or inclined to hesitate in the degrees, but the decan indicates a high energy level and personal enthusiasm for new projects.
Anadia Separating Conjunct Coliar
The native with this conjunction has a sharp mind and abundant mental energy. There is a tendency to take sides and become involved in partisan causes. This is a good aspect for reporters or investigators, of whom action for gaining information is required. The native is mentally aggressive and will say exactly what he thinks, letting the chips fall where they may. He is decisive and acts upon his decisions.
Anadia Applying Conjunct Chandos
This aspect gives an abundance of energy and enthusiasm. The natives are zealous in the pursuit of what they consider to be worthwhile - knowledge, religion, or efforts on behalf of those less fortunate. The conjunction gives self-confidence in action - natives will not accept "No" for an answer and feel it to be within their capacity to accomplish what they set out to do.
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 Conjunct Chandos
This aspect broadens the mind and gives an interest in philosophy, religion, law, and higher education. The natives are confident of their mental abilities and skillful in influencing others through their fluent speech. The conjunction favors teachers, ministers, lecturers, and politicians - se whose careers require verbal ability to win the support of others.
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 Sextile Glyth
This sextile figures prominently in the horoscopes of artists who have exceptional skill. Saturn gives concrete expression to the Venusian aesthetic tendencies. The natives are loyal to their friends and loved ones and serious and constant in the expression of their emotions. The aspect is favorable for an enduring marriage. There is the capacity to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of duty or the happiness of others.
Karpri Separating Trine Garden
This trine indicates an effervescent, fun-loving nature that is full of surprises and tends to see the bright side of life. It gives a spontaneous quality which is especially favorable for the performing arts. The natives frequently have exciting romances and marriages, unusual friends, and much popularity. There can also be sudden good fortune in financial matters.
Chandos in the Third decan of the Butterfly
Chandos here is well placed in the degrees and the decan indicates honesty and a fearless pursuit of justice.
Glyth in the First decan of the Raven
Glyth is not well placed in this decan. There is a tendency to fall in love too quickly and too often.
Glyth Applying Oppose Garden
This opposition inclines the natives toward inconsistent and dictatorial attitudes. They will rarely practice what they preach. Their philosophy is idealistic, but their actions are oppressive. Desiring freedom for themselves, they are usually unwilling to grant it to others. Naturally their friends will be few.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Chalice
Garden here increases the will-power and there is an intense desire for life, but once again moderation in ail things must be developed.
H'Catha in the Second decan of the Eagle
H'Catha here is more thoughtful and less erratic than H'Catha usually is.
"Even the gods watch the stars." Turmish Astrologer's saying.
