Do you agree?

Because some people are saying the empty leg is where you’re meant to direct your energies for success (à la Oprah whose empty leg is in 5th)?

Next, for synastry would this mean one person’s planet falling in the other’s empty leg would give rise to a feeling of completion ? Or how else would synastry trigger the empty leg of at square?

That means it gains in importance when you are interpreting the chart. However, in my experience, being in Point Focus is not as strong as being singleton.

If one of the other planets in the T-Cross happens to be the only one in a particular element, quality, or house type, it will have a greater effect than the Point Focus planet

The way out of the potential problems that all those stress aspects can cause is indicated by the empty leg. After all, a T is like a cross with a missing piece.

All you have to do is draw a line completing the cross and see the house and sign where it lands. That’s the area of your life where the solution can be found."

A t-square is like a pressure cooker of energy, edginess, and stress. It symbolizes facets of ourselves which are at odds with one another. As the central player, the focal planet is this configuration’s dynamic point of release and resolution; it’s where the seesaw polarization of the opposition can manifest in a concrete way. It offers a powerful solution to the pent-up tension. The sign and house placement of this planet is usually expressed vividly and repeatedly in the life story. It can sometimes be overemphasized by its owner to the point where the nature of the opposition is ignored, putting great stress on the affairs of the focal planet in a person’s life.
Other Considerations

Look for a “release” aspect — one that is foreign to the configuration (e.g., a trine from the focal planet). This will show a constructive “way out” of a set pattern or a way to avoid any compulsive behaviour associated with the t-square. It may bring an opportunity/ lucky situation (trine) to that particular “script.” I would include the angles — the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven (MC), and IC — as focal points, but these would reveal how the opposition has been impacted by (and will impact) a specific environment, as shown by the particular axis. I think the importance of the missing leg of a t-square (the space oppo- site the focal planet) is sometimes overemphasized by astrologers. It is interesting in the sense that every focal planet will have a polar opposite sign, and such a lopsided focus on the focal planet’s zodiac sign would necessitate a rebalancing of the polarity."

^^For me a release aspect and the missing leg are both key in helping me integrate my Tsquare.

That’s a nice way of putting it, Hypatia238 😊

Could there be/have you known any ‘activation’ or further resolution through synastry ? As in a partner’s planet completing the empty leg or making an aspect ?

Or is a T square very much a personal battle?

I would even say that in my case my release aspect is like a portal to my missing my leg, is the key to opening the door to my missing leg, it gives me easy access to my missing leg.

Does your Progressed chart also give you « a way out » of the T square through the shifted planets ?
