If you could, it would really be helpful if you posted your birthdata.

I cannot find a T-Square in your chart with Moon, Mars and Sun. Your Moon is 27 degrees and your Sun is 14 degress, that is too wide an orb to be an oppostion. Your Moon to Mars is not a square, but a Novile aspect (40 degree separation within a 2 degree angle). This is an aspect that serves and ministers, a fated type that gives you a sense of boundry with your energy and emotions. It is considered to be one of redemption and realization. There is no aspect between your Sun and Moon even though one is in Aquarius and one in Leo. By sign only do they appear to be in opposition, but by degree, there just is no aspect.

Your Moon conjunct your Asecendent in Leo will give you a projection of a strong, dramatic personality with strong emotions and tempered by the all caring humanitarian side of your Aquarian Sun.

One of the most difficult times in a person's life can be when the Progressed Moon moves through Scorpio. The emotions run deep and are intensified and these can later manifest in health problems. The sadness of losing your wife during this period will have affected both your communication and home life. Try to release any pent up anger and repressed emotions in a healthy way by talking of them and not holding them in and smoldering to the point harmful explosive behavior.

You have 2 square and 3 oppositions as a focus to drive your energy, but none of them combine to form a t-square. Your Venus opposes your Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto, giving drive and focus to be honorable (Jupiter, fearful of committment (Uranus), and love of power and competition (Pluto).
Your Moon squares Jupiter and this will give focus to a high level of intensity in your search for spiritual values. Your Sun squaring Mars will bring focus to a feeling that you are in control and will stand up for all you believe in, it drives you to be self willed and highly motivated, a person of action, unfortunately, it will also make a man feel a woman is to be submissive to him.

Ok, hope this helps.

Here is one food recipie for you:
Turkish style rice and beans (they must be cooked at the same time so you can eat them hot but beans can be eaten cold too)Turkish food takes time but tastes great.:
BEANS:Buy one of the red beans (canned) from market. Wash it under water nicely(It will not be cooked with the juice in the can). In a deep pan put some olive or Canola oil( I prefer them because they are healhtier). And put 2 table spoons of tomato paste.( First you have to wait for the oil to get hot.) Make sure you put enough oil because tomato paste will suck the oil. And keep stirring the paste.(Like 3 min.) Then you'll put some thin sliced( not very thin though) carrots and 4 tooths of fresh garlic (will be cut by 4 or 2) . Mix all these in the pan. Wait for the garlic and carrot to be fried slightly (3-4 min) after that you put the beans in the pan that washed before and mix them all. And like 3 min. keep stirring but do not ruin the beans as they are very soft. After that put 1 and a half or 2 cans of water in the pan. And put salt. Mix them nice. Once the pan comes to the boiling point get the heat to low level and it's gonna cook in 30-45 min in low heat( during this time stir a couple of times to make sure that it will not stuck at the bottom and burn) It can be eaten hot or cold. We eat this in Turkey as main food with lots of bread and salad. You can eat it with rice.

Turkish style rice:
First rinse the rice(wash) under water in a deep pan 3 times. (It would be excellent if you boil some water and then put the rice in and keep the rice waiting in this water 1 hour before you cook. But not many people can wait for this so you can skip this if you like.)
Put water in a deep pan. Put the rice in which was priviously washed. The water level will be 2-3 finger level higher than rice. Put a couple of drops of viniger and salt. Bring it to boiling point (during this time you have to stir a couple of times) and then lower the heat to medium. It gonna cook in 35-45 min. Make sure the water will not be finished and you burn the rice. (Cooking rice is the most difficult thing and if you can cook good rice means you're a good cook in Turkey . After cooked open the cover and get a page of cleen newspaper and put it over the pan and close the cover back. After 15-20 min rice is ready. Open the cover and put one and a half spoons of preferably butter but if not margarine and mix it well with rice and you can serve with beans.
Bon Appetite!!! Have a good meal!

I am so sorry you lost your wife so recently it seems. It must be just awful, especially through the holidays. And here I was feeling sorry for myself for stupid reasons..
I do not know what you are going through, I have lost a few people but I wasn't married to them, you know. I don't know if I should say more because I don't want to bring up unnecessary feelings for you.. but I am sending a big hug and hope that the days may get less hard.

yes I must be one hour off, funny, I thought we were in the same time zone.

I will share with you my mother's recipe for good rice, she learned from my father who is Mexican. You may not like as much as Turkish

First in olive oil you sautee some chopped onion and garlic, and let it sizzle. After a few minutes you can add a can of chopped tomatoes and their juice or not, and some chicken broth, make sure there is double the amount of liquid in the pan that you plan to put rice in. Once the chicken broth is boiling add the rice. Once all the liquid is absorbed you should have yummy rice, I personally like it with a little sprinkle of salt and lemon, but I have never shyed away from rice with butter, that is for sure
OK take care
..I am marching off with my new Turkish recipes
