Year of the Maidens
The Sun in the Second decan of the Dragon
The Sun in this decan indicates an interest in mysticism and the occult.
Optimal Career¹: Ingratiating and amiable, your ability to get along with others serve you well, granting a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks
Luck Action²: Your ability to tip-toe around awkward situations, literally and figuratively, grants you a +2 bonus on Move Silently checks.
Birth Stone: Chrysolite, the stone of protection, health and wealth, grants a +2 bonus against mind-affecting spells and effects.
A conjunction with the star Mystra's Star indicates a highly psychic and prophetic nature. Positive aspects to Mystra's Star unlock latent personal potential and encourages a greater awareness of cosmic influences. Negative aspects show a lack of synchronism between the conscious and unconscious self.
3rd Qtr Selûne in the First decan of the Swan
Selûne in these degrees provides an affectionate, but discreet, display of emotions.
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.
Selûne Separating Square Garden
This square produces a strong and ingenious imagination and exceptional talent. However, there is a tendency toward emotional perversity and sudden inexplicable changes in moods. Sometimes the natives become bored and throw over one activity for another that promises more excitement and adventure.
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 Trine Chandos
This trine shows an ability to act with energy and enthusiasm. The philosophic and humanitarian impulses of the natives, as represented by Jupiter, find outlet in constructive action, as indicated by Mars. The natives take practical action to help those less fortunate than themselves, instead of merely feeling sorry for them.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Butterfly
Coliar here displays excellent powers of concentration and an intuitive ability in solving difficult problems.
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 Separating Square H'Catha
This square is likely to cause absentmindedness, woolgathering, and mental disorganization concerning details. It can also indicate unintentional unreliability.
Retrograde Karpri in the Third decan of the Chalice
Karpri here will have to be well aspected in order to avoid personal scandals. Negative aspects indicate the desire for power may become extremely weird or strange.
Karpri Separating Trine H'Catha
This trine evidences a highly romantic nature. It bestows talent and sometimes genius in music, art, and poetry. However, the natives are not inclined toward practical affairs, unless other factors in the horoscope so indicate. They are likely to have unusual romances and to meet lovers under unusual circumstances, which appear in some way to be preordained and are often accompanied by premonitions.
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 Second decan of the Eagle
Glyth in this decan traditionally indicates a sense of isolation with sacrifices being made for a partner.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Serpent
Garden here places an emphasis on materialism, but it indicates a more outgoing and generous individual.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Eagle
H'Catha in this decan is primarily an undermining influence because it represents radical thinking and nonconventional attitudes. If well aspected to the Sun it will enlighten the whole approach to life.
