Sun Applying Trine Coliar
This trine indicates a good memory and a good working cooperation between the conscious and unconscious mind. The keynote of this aspect is common sense, and the natives are able to reason accurately and communicate sensibly about the ordinary affairs of life. Often they have keen business ability, especially with regard to food or products for the home.
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.
Gibbous Selûne in the Third decan of the Serpent
Selûne here emphasizes an ability to take the lead and organize others.
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 Separating Conjunct Coliar
The native with this conjunction has a sharp mind and abundant mental energy. There is a tendency to take sides and become involved in partisan causes. This is a good aspect for reporters or investigators, of whom action for gaining information is required. The native is mentally aggressive and will say exactly what he thinks, letting the chips fall where they may. He is decisive and acts upon his decisions.
Anadia Applying Conjunct H'Catha
This aspect gives the natives strong psychic magnetism. They may be interested in magical forces or the use of occult power. Their desires and ambitions can lead to lofty spiritual achievement, but their goals can also tend toward the impractical, the unrealistic or the overly romantic and lead them into misguided activities. Quite often these activities are determined almost entirely by unconscious impulses, and they sometimes result in disaster.
Coliar in the Third decan of the Swan
While indicating an impartial or good reasoning ability, Coliar here stresses the tendency to delay decisions and the general use of delaying tactics because of a basic lack of will-power.
Coliar Separating Conjunct Glyth
Although natives with Coliar conjunct Glyth are not as fluent and expressive as those with the Coliar conjunct Chandos aspect, they are more exact, painstaking, logical, and scientific in their thinking. This conjunction bestows strong mathematical and scientific ability. Foresightedness and careful planning are among its good qualities.
Coliar Separating 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 Butterfly
Karpri is well placed in the degrees, but can become rather underhanded.
Chandos in the Second decan of the Fish
Chandos here endorses the intellectual capacity, especially in science subjects.
Chandos Applying Trine Garden
This trine bestows creative ability and inspiration. The natives will be interested in religion, but along progressive, occult, or metaphysical lines. They are often fortunate on account of past karma, which manifests itself in unexpected ways - they may inherit money or find themselves in highly favorable situations.
Glyth in the Second decan of the Swan
Glyth is at fall in these degrees, which has been a significant factor throughout this sign. Personal relationships generally are problem areas which require careful assessment.
Glyth Applying Square Garden
This square creates a conflict between the natives' conservative and radical tendencies. If they oppose change, whatever they depend upon for security is likely to be suddenly swept away. If they favor drastic innovations, their lack of experience and insufficient attention to practical considerations will probably cause them to fail.
Garden in the Third decan of the Raven
Garden here emphasizes intellectual abilities, but this decan may impede the potential growth or progress by encouraging too many diversified interests.
H'Catha in the First decan of the Butterfly
H'Catha should be more balanced and less eccentric in this decan, but the aspects may otherwise influence an individual with H'Catha found here.
