Sun Separating 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 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 Applying Trine Chandos
The enthusiastic, optimistic, outgoing quality of this trine is directed into religious, philosophic, legal, social, and community affairs rather than into personal physical action.
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 Sextile Garden
The natives are able to let go of the past. This aspect gives quick emotional responses and intuitive rapport with others. The natives are able instinctively to take advantage of new opportunities that arise in daily life and respond to them in original ways. They possess a magnetic quality that infuses excitement and fun into everyday conditions. They have unique imaginations.
Retrograde Anadia in the Third decan of the Wheel
Anadia placed in these degrees signifies a high emotional level.
Anadia Separating Sextile Glyth
This sextile manifests its best qualities where strenuous work and physical discipline are required. Endurance and fortitude are the prime virtues of this aspect. Precision in workmanship is favored. Mechanical abilities are often part of the general capacity for careful work. The natives use their energy in the most practical and efficient way.
Coliar in the First decan of the Chalice
Coliar stationed here endorses a more skeptical mind, but emphasizes the versatility associated with the Chalice sign.
Coliar Applying Oppose Chandos
This opposition can get the natives in trouble because they are inclined to promise more than they can deliver; there will be a lot of talk and insufficient follow-up action. Woolgathering and daydreaming are the other negative attributes of the opposition.
Coliar Separating Square Glyth
This square indicates a tendency to excessive worry. Sometimes the natives are mentally inhibited, or too tied to traditional ways of thinking. There may be a lack of imagination, or concern over unimportant details. Ironically, when these natives do have ideas of their own, they have difficulty in gaining recognition and acceptance of them because of opposition from the established way of thinking.
Karpri in the Third decan of the Serpent
Positive Karprian aspects to the Sun or Moon stationed here encourage the artistic talents and attract glamorous friendships. Negative Karprian aspects to the Sun or Moon stationed here add to a high emotional level and the tendency to fantasize.
Karpri Applying Sextile Garden
This sextile bestows scintillating, vivacious emotional expression. It is likely that the natives will be popular and have many friends. Artistic and musical ability of highly original character is also likely; the natives are at least fond of music and art. Natives make money in unusual ways, often through cooperative or group endeavors.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Stone
Chandos is a consolidating influence in any degrees or decan. Its position here endorses a sense of purpose and helps stabilize a powerful emotive nature.
Chandos Applying 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 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 Separating Sextile H'Catha
This sextile bestows the capacity to discipline and focus the imaginative faculties - to give practical form to inspiration. This aspect affords excellent tactical and strategic talents because of the insight it confers. Natives are especially good at making career plans and carrying them out in secrecy. Often they work behind the scenes in some manner. They have a gift for getting to the bottom of mysteries and ferreting out secret information.
Garden in the Third decan of the Wheel
Garden in this decan is a real bonus. It indicates a generous and charitable nature enforced with a strong sense of responsibility and resourcefulness.
