Sun Applying 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.
1st Qtr Selûne in the Second decan of the Star
Selûne is traditionally considered a restless influence in these degrees.
Selûne Applying Trine Coliar
This trine indicates a good memory and a good working cooperation between the conscious and unconscious mind. There is constructive thinking concerning personal and domestic affairs, especially in matters of health and diet. 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.
Selûne Separating Sextile Chandos
This sextile produces generosity and emotional sympathy. The natives are charitable, especially where the family is concerned. Money and resources will be used in the home to make it a place of beauty and comfort.
Selûne Separating Sextile H'Catha
This sextile is definitely an aspect of psychic potentialities. Often intuition plays a role in creating opportunity for financial and domestic progress. These mystic inclinations lead the natives to join fraternities and organizations of an occult nature. The aspect expands the imagination into the realms of the transcendental. Unconscious promptings play a part in the natives' decision-making. Unconscious storing of knowledge from the distant past enables them to bring unusual information to light.
Anadia in the Third decan of the Fish
Anadia here shows a dedicated worker, but the Cancer decan implies a need to maintain a steady course throughout life and avoid family upsets.
Coliar in the Third decan of the Spear
Coliar here shows a strong-minded individual and emphasizes the tendency to be rather outspoken.
Coliar Applying Oppose H'Catha
This opposition gives rise to a high degree of sensitivity to other people's thoughts and motivations. An unconscious telepathy often leads to deceitful practices that may or may not be malicious. It is as though the natives were trying to outmaneuver their opponents in a subtle telepathic chess game.
Karpri in the First decan of the Butterfly
Karpri here encourages a less serious attitude to life in general. A conjunction with Karpri enhances artistic temperament, but also encourages a tendency to "drop out of life" as a protest against an uncaring society.
Karpri Separating Trine Chandos
This trine indicates a happy, optimistic, sociable disposition. It favors success in music and the arts. The natives are often interested in religious art, or use art to convey philosophic and religious ideas. There is harmony in marital and domestic affairs. These people are often successful in businesses relating to art, culinary delights, and furnishings and decorations for the home.
Retrograde Chandos in the Third decan of the Swan
Chandos is considered to be exalted in the degrees of Libra which means in the position to achieve the most good. Its position in the autumnal equinox degrees endorses a sound personal judgement or a sense of morality in all matters.
Chandos Separating Conjunct H'Catha
This aspect confers a fertile imagination which can find an outlet in art, music, philosophy, and religion. This conjunction inclines the natives to extreme sensitivity where emotional and psychic proclivities are concerned. Flights of religious ecstasy and mystical absorptions into the astral realms are characteristic, often giving rise to involvement in mystical cults and psychic forms of religion. The tendency is for extreme idealism, which does not result in much practical common sense or self-discipline.
Glyth in the First decan of the Spear
Glyth here reveals a powerful parental love, but a need for personal freedom in all relationships.
Garden in the Second decan of the Fish
The disposition of Garden is always expansive and broadminded, the negative being the extreme of these traits. Stationed here it shows a high degree of intelligence and ambition and is an excellent placement for both writing and teaching.
Retrograde H'Catha in the Third decan of the Swan
H'Catha here is considerate and accommodating. It is a powerful influence in the autumnal equinox degrees and manifests strong humanitarian principles which will not be compromised.
