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 Square Chandos
This square often signifies ill-considered extravagance in self-expression. The natives want to accomplish too much too fast, without sufficient discipline or forethought. Their self-image can be unrealistic and exaggerated and can therefore frustrate them when they attempt to broaden their self-expression.
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.
Sun Applying Sextile H'Catha
This sextile promotes creativity and inspiration which can be manifested through art, religion, and mysticism. The natives have the ability to form vivid mental images and to translate these images into reality. Writers, artists, and musicians are likely to have this aspect.
Crescent Selûne in the First decan of the Trident
Selûne here is both receptive and cautious. While there is much common sense, there is a definite duality operating with sudden mood changes.
Selûne Applying 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 Trine Glyth
The natives are cautious and conservative. They are honest and possess a great deal of common sense. They have organizational ability and can endure hardship when necessary in order to achieve long-range goals. They can be shrewd and have business acumen.
Selûne Separating Square H'Catha
This aspect indicates confusion and a tendency to become immersed in fantasies, resulting in the lack of a grip on reality. Domestic life is likely to be muddled and confused, the home environment disorderly or unclean. This square frequently indicates emotional indulgence which is manifested in addiction, often to drugs or alcohol.
Anadia in the First decan of the Wheel
Anadia here indicates a high degree of physical and mental energy, which endorses great potential if positively directed.
Anadia Applying Conjunct Glyth
On the positive side, this aspect gives a capacity for hard work, enduring strength, resourcefulness, and courage in situations of danger and great difficulty. The strong qualities favor military careers or situations in which the natives must use caution and prudence in the face of danger. Very often, however, they resent people who lead easier lives.
Coliar in the Second decan of the Spear
Coliar here reveals an impressionable mind.
Coliar Separating Square Karpri
This square tends to create financial and social problems in the domestic sphere. The affections are bestowed indiscriminately, leading to problems in love and unhappiness in marriage. The natives are too trusting of spouses or partners and as a result are taken advantage of. Unwise romantic and sexual involvements are characteristic.
Coliar Separating Trine H'Catha
This trine indicates an intuitive mind with the capacity to read the thoughts of others. It also confers prophetic ability if other factors in the chart sustain it. Natives possess highly developed visualization which lets them see mentally any object or process in complete detail, as though they were actually looking at it. The aspect confers extremely delicate and acute senses, so that the natives avoid harsh conditions.
Karpri in the Second decan of the Serpent
If the Sun or Moon are stationed here, any Karprian aspects will encourage a tendency of trying to escape from the reality of the situation. Positive aspects to the Moon show this desire is more creatively channeled. Negative aspects manifest as self-deception and a general lack of stability.
Chandos in the Third decan of the Chalice
Chandos is always a controlling factor and, if stationed here, indicates a difficult start to life which impeded growth or inhibited personal expression.
Glyth in the Second decan of the Wheel
Glyth here indicates a need for independence and will delay the formation of permanent or lasting relationships. Financially it encourages extravagant or careless investments.
Garden in the Second decan of the Star
Garden here places an emphasis on materialism, but it also encourages generosity and sincerity.
Retrograde H'Catha in the Third decan of the Stone
H'Catha here activates the revelationary vision of the Stone sign, and the decan indicates an inspired artist.
