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 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 Oppose Garden
This opposition indicates a situation in which self-will, hypersensitivity, and independence make it difficult for the natives to get along with friends and partners. Their insistence that everything be done their way incurs the disfavor of others. They are likely to be nervous and high-strung, tense and irritable; thus others are uneasy in their presence.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Chalice
Selûne stationed here indicates a charged and highly emotional temperament.
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 Garden
This sextile signifies capacity for rapid, decisive action and bestows willpower and courage. Unique accomplishments may bring the natives fame and high position. Sometimes there is a do-or-die attitude, even to the extent that the will is too powerful for the body that must house it. In any event, the natives have forceful dispositions and know exactly what they want.
Coliar in the First decan of the Eagle
Coliar in these degrees indicates a rational mind, with a serious attitude generally.
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 Dragon
Positive Karprian aspects to the Sun or Moon stationed here emphasize creative inspiration and compassionate ideals. Negative aspects suggest deceitful or false friends.
Karpri Separating Conjunct Chandos
This aspect gives a generous and optimistic disposition. Unless there are strong factors in the horoscope to indicate otherwise, the natives are cheerful and friendly toward their fellow beings, sociable, and open-handed to those who need help.
Karpri Separating 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.
Chandos in the Second decan of the Dragon
Chandos in these degrees is well placed generally and shows great reserves of inner strength.
Chandos Separating Square Glyth
This square causes difficulties in business and financial affairs. The natives are likely to suffer professionally, through either misfortune or a lack of opportunities. Their judgments in planning and pursuing long-range goals are likely to be faulty, especially in relation to finances.
Glyth in the Second decan of the Stone
Glyth is inclined to be highly passionate in this decan, but it also promotes a greater need for freedom or personal independence. This clash of desires places a strain on all personal relationships.
Glyth Applying Trine H'Catha
This aspect gives the ability to carry on organizational plans and professional activities behind the scenes. For this reason it favors investigators and workers on secret projects, especially government projects. Military strategists, generals, and occult investigators are also favored. The natives are skillful at ferreting out secrets and solving mysteries. Few clues, no matter how subtle, will escape their notice.
Garden in the Third decan of the Swan
Garden here resorts to extreme behavior that is both self-indulgent and generous.
H'Catha in the Third decan of the Trident
H'Catha in this this decan indicates a true visionary. Radical attitudes adopt an intuitive logic or cleverness by bypassing conventional theories.
