My thoughts are to keep it simple. The T-square is focused on Scorpio (transformation, also power, control) modifying Mars (being, also action) conjunct (energy is combined with) Midheaven (outer world). This would indicate an ability to take powerful actions in the outer world...to "take control" in the outer world somehow. If you haven't done this yet...isn't it nice to know that it is an option?

I have a T-Square and might be able to help you answer some things. I don't think I've looked at one which involves an Asc before. Plus the Mars Conjunct your MC.

You were asking about the Empty Space falling in your 4th House - in Taurus, right?

So how that works is that the tension which builds up the most is between your Mercury & Asc. So look at the Signs they are in, and imagine a tug-of-war between those two points. As the tension builds up, it inevitably needs to release itself, just like tension before an earthquake. The point which will experience a collaspe will be your Mars in Scorpio in the 9th House, and everything included in that tension just completely topples into that Taurus in the 4th House.

So what type of energy are we dealing with?

Well, Taurus in the 4th is probably very domestic and values security. So a key lesson in your Chart is to prepare that safety net you're gonna need. Hope that helped, and Mars in Scorpio is also the Focal Point (apex) in my T-Square.

Why this makes it so challenging is that my Mars issues topple in that Aries/12th House energy, and it's almost like pinning the tail on the donkey blindfolded, except instead of using pins, I'm throwing darts.

So the agitated Mars in Scorpio joins forces with impulsive Aries, and they are playing in the 12th House of self-delusionment and boundlessness.

On top of that, my Mars in Scorpio is part of a Scorpio Stellium. FUN!!!

And that Moon/Sat Opposition I'm always whining about becomes THAT MUCH MORE pronounced as it is part of this insane T-Square.

I think some T-Squares are better dealt with if the "earthquakes" were frequent tremors instead. There may be instances where a T-Square is better off letting the tension build up. But I think the Empty Space is a VERY important part of the dynamics of the T and it clues you in on how the release of tension will manifest.

In my case, it is absolutely manditory that I understand my Mars in Scorpio, as it will need to know itself and recognize itself when it falls into an abyss of this 12th House ignited by an impulsive Aries. Better for me if I get tremors instead of earthquakes.
