Readings from the Almagest of Handreth for 3 Tarsakh, 1387
Year of the Emerald Ermine
The Sun in the First decan of the Trident
The Sun in this decan indicates great personal strengths and weakness. There is a tendency to surprise people with the ability to produce "the goods," so to speak, when necessary.
Optimal Career¹: You are comfortable operating in chaotic, fluid environments, grainting you a +2 bonus on Swin Checks
Luck Action²: Accustomed to working behind the scenes and remaining a lesser target, you gain a +2 bonus on Hide checks
Birth Stone: Coral, not a stone but the remains of living sea creatures, covers healing, women's issues, agriculture, peace, wisdom and life over death. Grants a +1 luck bonus to AC when fighting undead, also a +1 bonus to Knowledge checks dealing with undead. Coral should be unworked to maintain its magic.
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 Sextile Coliar
This sextile confers a good memory and practical mental ability. The mind is an essential part of the ego. Thus, the natives are motivated to put their thoughts into action.
Sun Separating Square Glyth
This square places obstacles in the way of the native's self-expression and often indicates a life of hardship and drudgery. Only if there are many other favorable aspects in the chart, or a good aspect from Jupiter to the Sun, can the effects of this negative configuration be offset.
A conjunction with the star Rahnieda signifies a highly popular and successful individual. While material success is indicated, the extent of this success is primarily associated with personal growth. Positive aspects to Rahnieda point to personal skills of a high calibre. Negative aspects suggest a lack of personal recognition despite obvious talents.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Wheel
Selûne stationed here indicates that all the positive and negative lunar traits are accentuated and it activates the need for personal security operating in this sign.
Selûne Separating Trine Anadia
The natives tend to be active emotionally and to have an abundance of psychic energy. They are enterprising in business and in building up the home and domestic life. There is a great deal of strong feeling, but it is controlled and constructively used.
Selûne Applying 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 First decan of the Stone
Anadia here is well placed in the Capricorn decan and the Scorpio degrees, and accentuates the strength of purpose or motivation associated with the Stone sign.
Coliar in the First decan of the Eagle
Coliar in these degrees indicates a rational mind, with a serious attitude generally.
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 Applying Sextile Chandos
This sextile indicates a happy disposition with strong social tendencies. It generally brings good fortune, ease, and comfort. Success can come through good taste and an understanding of what items are attractive to others.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Spear
Chandos located in this decan endorses the sense of honor associated with the Spear sign.
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 Sextile Garden
This sextile is favorable for endeavors that require the ability to apply original ideas in a practical way. It represents the true freedom and opportunities that result from self-discipline and from conscientiously discharging one's responsibilities. The natives make loyal, dependable friends who can be relied upon for truthfulness as well as good advice in finding constructive solutions to problems.
Garden in the Third decan of the Swan
Garden here resorts to extreme behavior that is both self-indulgent and generous.
Retrograde H'Catha in the Third decan of the Fish
H'Catha in these degrees promotes a whole spectrum of critical ideas and beliefs.
