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 Separating Oppose Karpri
This opposition indicates an inclination to be emotionally oversensitive and to feel unloved. Domestic and material problems may result. Sometimes there are self-indulgent tendencies and too great a concern for material comforts and luxuries. There can be sexual excess as well as unhealthy eating habits - usually overindulgence in sweets.
Sun Separating Square Garden
This square indicates a propensity for erratic behavior, eccentricity, and unwise action. The natives have originality, but often their ideas are impractical, or else they do not possess sufficient perseverance, training, experience, and discipline to carry them out.
Sun Applying Conjunct H'Catha
Natives often seem to be transfixed by celestial music which only they can hear. They are subject to desires and emotions emanating from a subtle and high source which can lead them either into confusion and self-deception or to divine inspiration.
Disseminating Selûne in the First decan of the Fish
If Selûne is stationed here it denotes teaching abilities, especially with adults. It is a favorable placement for financial affairs with an instinctive ability to invest wisely.
Anadia in the Second decan of the Wheel
The location of Anadia in these degrees emphasizes abundant physical and mental activity, but it may be squandered on too many grandiose projects.
Anadia Separating Square Karpri
This square causes emotional problems, especially in romance and relationships with the opposite sex. Sometimes there is a tendency to use members of the opposite sex or to be used by them for purely sexual gratification. The natives may lack good taste or refinement in their social conduct. Unbridled passion can cause them great harm.
Anadia Applying Sextile Chandos
This sextile bestows enthusiasm and energy in work, self-expression, and self-improvement. The natives are optimistic when carrying on their activities and do not acknowledge defeat. They can be generous in a practical way. Their religious inclinations are also practical. They will work strenuously on behalf of those who are underprivileged or unfortunate; they often engage in missionary endeavors and are especially good at working with young people.
Anadia Applying Oppose Garden
The natives with this opposition are inclined to explosive outbursts of energy which can be manifested in quarrels. Ill temper and irritability are common. These people are averse to any kind of routine and discipline. Their efforts are spasmodic; however, when they do work they can overexert themselves. Lack of moderation is the main vice of this opposition.
Anadia Applying Square H'Catha
This square generates peculiar emotional desires, arising from deep levels of the unconscious. Very often unconscious habit patterns that are not appropriate to the present reality negatively influence the actions of the natives. This square can have various effects, depending on whether the natives' desires are repressed or expressed. If they are repressed, the square is likely to manifest itself in a form of neurosis, perhaps of a sexual or psychosomatic nature.
Coliar in the Third decan of the Spear
Coliar here shows a strong-minded individual and emphasizes the tendency to be rather outspoken.
Coliar Separating Trine Karpri
This trine indicates a harmonious, pleasant disposition. It is especially favorable for women since it enhances the traditional feminine virtues, such as beauty and gentleness of emotional expression and affection. There is a great deal of sympathy and empathy for others. The natives' presence has a soothing effect.
Coliar Applying Sextile H'Catha
This sextile gives intuitive insight and a fertile imagination. There is harmony and good communication between the conscious reasoning mind and the unconscious mind. The perceptions are keen and delicate and sometimes are manifested through clairvoyant faculties.
Karpri in the Second decan of the Star
Any Karprian aspects to the Sun stationed here emphasizes the impractical aspects of character. Positive aspects help to clarify the artistic merit of this decan. Negative aspects promote uncertainty in financial affairs.
Karpri Separating Square Garden
This square generally brings about sudden but brief attractions in the natives' lives. Infatuations which begin under this aspect will be exciting while they last. Since the emotions are likely to be unstable and subject to swift reverses, the natives can be in love today and indifferent tomorrow.
Karpri Applying Oppose H'Catha
This opposition indicates that emotions and affections are strongly influenced by unconscious forces. In matters of money, marriage, social life, and artistic creativity the natives are sometimes their own worst enemies. Their unconscious desires generate wishful thinking and distorted perceptions of reality.
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.
Retrograde Garden in the Third decan of the Butterfly
Garden in the degrees gives emphasis to extreme positive and negative traits of character, but the decan highlights the intellectual capacity.
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.
