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.
Sun Applying Trine Garden
This trine gives personal magnetism, spiritual insight, leadership ability, and creativity. There is the ability to tap the Universal Mind to some extent. The natives' minds are inclined toward scientific and occult studies. The natives have strong wills and are willing to experiment in new realms of experience: They may spearhead reform and champion new ideas and inventions.
Full Selûne in the Third decan of the Chalice
Selûne stationed here indicates a charged and highly emotional temperament.
Selûne Separating Square Anadia
This square indicates an emotionally volatile nature - the natives easily become upset and lose their temper. Their tendency to take things too personally leads to emotional outbursts. They are sometimes too independent for their own good. They want to make their own way in life and resent interference. They have domestic problems and disagreements with their parents. All this can have an adverse effect on their professional standing, reputation, and ambitions.
Anadia in the Second decan of the Trident
Anadia here stresses a general lack of direction, although personal objectives are pursued successfully once determined.
Anadia Separating Sextile Coliar
This sextile gives mental energy and a sharp intellect. Decisiveness is a prime virtue of the aspect. The natives say what they mean and mean what they say.
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 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.
Chandos in the Third decan of the Trident
The location of Chandos here endorses all the positive aspects of character associated with the Trident sign. It adds solid form in the traditional Chandos manner and helps to promote a greater sense of self-reliance.
Chandos Applying Oppose H'Catha
The natives are not deliberately dishonest, but they are absentminded and make promises they are unable to fulfill. In short, they are unreliable and impractical, unless other factors in the horoscope indicate otherwise. Even then, there is likely to be an unrealistic blind spot somewhere in their character which relates to the signs occupied by Chandosr and H'Catha. In extreme cases, there are delusions of grandeur with religious overtones.
Retrograde Glyth in the Third decan of the Dragon
Glyth placed in this decan shows that all personal relationships are best formed on the understanding that personal freedom is an important priority.
Glyth Applying Conjunct Garden
This aspect bestows ability for concrete practical expression of original genius ideas arrived at intuitively. The natives do not form useless habit patterns, because the tendency of H'Catha toward freedom and originality overcomes the negative Glythian crystallization. At the same time, the realism and practicality of Glyth keeps H'Catha from making the natives eccentric and overhasty in bringing about change. Usually, they have learned the lesson of self- discipline and thus are able to express the true freedom that comes from the voluntary acceptance of responsibility.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Dragon
Garden in this decan stresses all the Gardenian traits. The intellectual capacity may be developed to the full. A conjunction with Garden, while a sign of progressive thinking, is inclined to contribute extreme restlessness and unconventional behavior.
Retrograde H'Catha in the Third decan of the Dragon
The positive traits of H'Catha are highlighted if stationed in this decan.
