Jupiter Taurus in 2nd house opposing Mars in Scorpio in 8th house, and both forming a square to Mercury in 5th at cusp of 6th house.

This either has to do with money or sex, or both?

I don't think this applies here though, there is no Pluto involved in this T Square.

go to the "ADD YOUR COOL LINKS HERE" thread and click on the link in post #1. There are explanations for all of the major configurations.

An easy way to analyze chart meanings is to keep in mind that SIGN modifies PLANET focused on HOUSE. So in your example:

Taurus modifies Jupiter focused in 2nd house

opposing

Scorpio modifying Mars focused in 8th house

both square

Mercury focused in 5th house near 6th house

becomes

Taurus (physical) modifies Jupiter (expansion) focused in 2nd house (physical)

opposing

Scorpio (transformation) modifying Mars (being, also action) focused in 8th house (transformation)

both square (energy needs to be combined with)

Mercury (thinking/daily work) focused in 5th house (self-expression) near 6th house (daily work)

The T-square focuses energy into the place where the two squares combine, so strong physical and transformational energies combine to affect your daily work. As to what this means for you...that depends on what you do with the energy! Certainly sex and money are a possibility, but they are not the ONLY possibility. Whatever it means, it will have a physical, transformational affect on your daily work.

Thing is, as you hinted at in your reply, the finesse isn't in the analysis of one factor, but in the synthesis of many.

This isn't an aspect that I have in my own chart, it's someone else's. If it were me, I would already know the answer.

It sounds like the impulse to play, travel, or simply philosophize too much will continue to disrupt the the social life of the individual until they are able to direct mental energies (non-philosophical and more anylitical) into understanding friendships (or simply the need to empathize with friends.)

the cool thing about T-squares is that the problems indicated by them will probably not be a problem in the long run. their nature is to take care of themselves (as far as natal interps go).

which are the "focal planets"? the focal planets are in the center of the t-square and they are the planets that are getting squared (not the planets involved in the opposition.)

whatever house the focal planets are in, you look to the opposite house. usually if there is a problem it is because of thoughtlessness in regards to that house.

try the link from the first post of "add your cool links here" and read the section on the t-square.

it's also what every interperpretation of t-square's i've ever read have said.

A major T-square in 1986 had Saturn opposition Chiron, with Jupiter in square to both, straddling the mutable signs: when Moon swung into Virgo, a temporary grand cross was formed too. A lot of effort was required to make progress in getting things to work: the answer in such cases is found in radical, yet pragmatic contextual shifts of viewpoint. This was about organisational perspectives and infrastructures. A time for decisions. Gorbachev and Reagan made a go at it, but the issues were very big, and the changes of viewpoint involved were threatening to become larger than either system they represented could handle. Yet, the concreteness of both Saturn and Chiron demanded real action, and they were precipitating forced solutions, through generating a growing awareness of the costs and disadvantages of carrying on in the old mode of big-power, Cold War rivalry. Jupiter in Pisces, at the apex of the T-square, introduced a visionary, overall 'what-are-we-doing-all-this-for?' undertone to the hard negotiations, bringing into focus both immediate practical issues, visionary possibilities and longterm basic questions.""
