The T Square
This configuration occurs when Two planets oppose each other and both are squared by a third planet. The T-square is a difficult combination of aspects as it indicates the need to overcome many obstacles, but at the same time, it produces a strong driving ambition to do so. The tension and awareness created by two planets in opposition must be resolved by the planet receiving the double square. This third planet becomes a focal point of much importance in your chart.

If the T square is made up of planets in cardinal signs:
This configuration suggests that you tend to be critical, impersonal, and in many ways dominating. You have a lot of energy and you are constantly looking for ways to spend it. The T-square configuration generates a lot of impatience in your nature and you often make hasty decisions that you may regret later.


If the T square is made up of planets in fixed signs:
You seek structure in your life and it can be hard for you to deal with abstractions, values and ideals. You may need to be more flexible in dealing with people; less determined and rigid. This aspect implies endurance and resistance in the face of adversity, but it can produce inflexibility, which inhibits progress.


If the T square is made up of planets in Mutable signs: (This what I have...and it's double in my case with the mutable t-square in cadent houses)
You tend to get emerged in criticism, ideals, and values. You are likely to consider it important to show your individuality and avoid merely following the leader and trend of the times. The easiest course for you may be to try to avoid or ignore difficulties, but such action does nothing to resolve them.


In all cases:
The T-square causes a lot of difficulty in the life but they also spark action and the drive necessary to achieve. Living with the demands of a T-square can be very challenging, but when the energy of this configuration is well-directed by a mature individual, it often leads to significant accomplishments. The T-square is an impetus to success that many famous people have. http://www.astrology-numerology.com/configurations.html


a point in aspect to midpoint acts like a 3 point combination.
a midpoint is a sensitive point,and so a point hits it,the energies of that sensitive point are brought into consciousness,manifestation.

example of t-square with correlating midpoint picture.

My Moon is in 3'10 Pisces
square the opposition of
My Saturn in 5'08 Gemini and
My Jupiter in 8'17 Sagittarius and Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius

Moon square Neptune - 1'22 separating
Moon square Saturn - 1'56 applying
Moon square Jupiter - 5'06 applying
Saturn oppose Neptune - 3'19 applying
Saturn oppose Jupiter - 3'09 separating
Jupiter conjunct Neptune - 6'28 separating

my Saturn/Neptune midpoint is in 3'28 Virgo,and my Moon opposes that midpoint with 17 minutes of arc
as you see, it's due to my Moon closely aspecting my Saturn-Neptune opposition which is less than 4 degree orb.


also my Jupiter/Neptune midpoint in 5'02 Sagittarius,and my Saturn opposes that with 5 minutes of arc

also my Moon/Jupiter midpoint in 20'43 Capricorn,and my Saturn semisquares that with 36 minutes of arc


that's one of the reasons that geometrically oriented astrologers like cosmobiologists,uranian astrologers,and even the Magi Astrologers use much tighter orbs than traditional astrologers that tend to be less geometrically oriented.

Interpretations from Ruth Brummond's rulebook ....they have both positive and negative intepretations. It also includes Medical Astrology stuff. I actually prefer Cosmobiology over Traditional Astrology when it comes to medical Astrology because it focuses mainly on planetary geometry that include the hard aspects that include the conjunction,opposition,square,semisquare,sesquiqadrate and the midpoints that involve those aspects. Those are considered event-oriented aspects. They consider the soft aspects, trines and sextiles are psychological but not event-oriented. Many of the psychological,events,and medical interpretations are true in my case....even brain malfunctions(Dyslexia,Dyspraxia which required auditory therapy,speech therapy,phonics,and fine motors skill therapy). Of course empathic,sensitive also is true for me..especially for people who have problems. Also..with the Moon being the mother, it applies a lot to my mother and she has experienced a lot of these matters,issues,traits herself.

WITH CORRELATING MIDPOINT PICTURES:

Cosmobiologists and Uranian Astrologers use a 90 degree dial (4th harmonic),and so conjunctions,oppositions,and squares in a regular chart (1st harmonic) appear as conjunctions. semisquares,sesquiquadrate bodies would appear as oppositions

conjunctions - 0 degrees (1st harmonic)
oppositions - 180 degrees (2nd harmonic)
square - 90 degrees (4th harmonic)
semisquare - 45 degrees (8th harmonic)
sesquiquadrate - 135 degrees(8th harmonic)

MOON OPPOSE SATURN/NEPTUNE also written MOON = SATURN/NEPTUNE
MO.SA.NE.
+ empathic. sensitive . private; drawn to obscurities. serious. free of confinement or restraints. cautious. deals with medical issues. seriously interested in metaphysical factors.
Gynecology. Concern with obscure problems. [Responsibilities during night hours.]

Wow...Ok, I understand the T-Square now, I think...but the midpoint thing is really confusing. I need to read this a few times

I think I might have a T-Square? Mars oppose Venus and both of them square Jupiter...

More than that, I have no idea and must read and learn carefully ...

thanks again, Glaucus !

another thing too

Saturn/Neptune midpoint is said to be Pholus-sensitive as it has Pholus like energy

so my Moon oppose Saturn/Neptune midpoint is like having Moon-Pholus combo


Pholus like all the centaurs is very elliptical and takes 90 years for a full return. It crosses the orbit of Saturn on its way to perihelion and also crosses Neptune's to aphelion and correlates to the Saturn/Neptune planetary energies. The Saturn/Neptune mid-point is Pholus sensitive. Pholus transits are associated with "new frontier" situations - it is an instinctive impulsive energy that dissolves old barriers and one is challenged to jump into previously unchartered waters. Because the Pholus energy is so unfamiliar we might first experience chaos (Neptune) before things settle down and we find a structured outlet (Saturn) for this new way of being. In personal charts Pholus often relates to previously undeveloped creative/artistic talent or spiritual awakening as well acts of martyrdom and self-sacrifice. http://www.kentauren.info/menu/index.htm?page=/Raising.htm

The transits on the night my mom was shot,and I was present with her at the time. She was 20,and I was 3 days from turning 3

transiting Pholus was in 6'40 Pisces Retrograde
conjunct my Jupiter/Saturn midpoint in 6'42 Pisces


my Pholus is in 29'19 Aquarius
conjunct my Moon/Mars midpoint in 29'32 Aquarius
conjunct my Moon in 3'10 Pisces
conjunct my Mars in 25'54 Aquarius
square my Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius
sesquiquadrate Uranus - '57
