From childhood we remember the phrase: “Repetition is the mother of learning.” Therefore, once again thinking about some aspect in the natal chart is not harmful.
Accidentally opened a book S. Aizina “General Astrology” and read about the square aspect. This aspect seems to be clear to everyone. What can I say: “tension!” and that's all. However, the author emphasized one feature of the square: “the additional aspect to the square is the square itself.”
No matter how much we want to avoid the situation, we will have to solve it. And there will be no easy way! S. Aizin emphasizes that the lack of options, opportunities for choice and freedom of expression forces you to do not what you want, but what you need. And we either struggle with circumstances - a strict boss (Sun square with Saturn), a picky mother-in-law (Moon square with Saturn), rude and sarcastic people around us (Mercury square with Mars). Well, or with internal discomfort - electrified emotions (Moon squared by Uranus), high expectations (Sun squared by Jupiter), etc.
The VSKA teacher described the square as a bent ruler. It is clear that an object (and in our case a person) cannot remain in this state for a long time. Everything pushes to get rid of the created tension. But the moment the end is released, it hits you on the head in one way or another.
How to deal with squares?
If we take 90 degrees from the beginning of Aries, then we find ourselves in the sign of Cancer and Capricorn. Therefore, they say that the Moon and Saturn rule the square. For us, this will be a hint for “working out” the square. At the moment of turning on the square, when a difficult situation arises from which we want to get out of it faster, we must include the principles of the Moon and Saturn. You cannot act emotionally (Moon) and instantly (Saturn). We will need endurance, patience, consistency (Saturn) and control over emotions (Moon).
If your boss entrusts you with important work, you don’t need to “drive the wave” and grumble: “It’s not my responsibility, let Masha do it.” You shouldn’t try to do it hastily, without preparation and careful planning. It should be remembered that such behavior will cause even more stress, waste of strength and energy, and will not lead to results. We can definitely say that no matter how hard you try to evade, you will not succeed. It will also not be possible to complete the task easily and quickly. The square is also insidious because at the end you will not receive praise from management for the result achieved. No matter how hard you try, the effort, nerves, and emotions expended will not be commensurate with the achievements achieved. Waiting squarely for the weight to fall off your shoulders and for you to breathe a sigh of relief is not an option. There will remain dissatisfaction in one form or another. You should know about this in advance and perceive it as a lesson, which is necessary and useful for character education and personality development.
An example of working out a square
Biography of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin
, born November 12, 1840 in Paris, perfectly illustrates how squares influence a person's life. In his horoscope, Mars in Virgo makes a square to the conjunction of Venus and Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius. This aspect is perfect for a sculptor: Mars (action) stimulates Venus (aesthetics, beauty) and Saturn (form, proportions) to create beautiful sculptures. I think everyone knows his famous “The Thinker” and “The Kiss”.
However, not everything went smoothly in the master’s life on the path to success. Rodin tried three times to enter the École des Beaux-Arts, but failed. For many years he had to eke out a living as an apprentice, decorator, and sculptor. community service. Working in the workshop of a sculptor famous at that time, Rodin made figurines for the owner, which he cast in bronze and put up for sale under his own name. Auguste Rodin once signed a statuette with his own name and offered it to the intermediary directly. And, of course, the square was not long in coming - the employer immediately found out about it and Rodin was fired from his job.
Another situation in the life of a master is indicative, which illustrates how the aspect of a square can “shoot out”. Rodin and Antoine-Joseph van Rasburg rented a studio for two, agreeing to jointly sell their works. Sculptures sold in Belgium were signed by van Rasburg, and in France they went under the name of Rodin. I think you guessed that it was not Rodin who benefited from this deal, but his accomplice. Currently, many works of that period signed by van Raburgh are most likely executed by Rodin, but it is not possible to prove this. This is how a square usually works - you invest, and others reap the laurels.
Horoscope of Auguste Rodin, b. 11/12/1840, 12:00 GMT, Paris, Placidus Houses.
I did not set myself the task of a full analysis of the horoscope sculpture. His natal chart contains many intense and interesting aspects and configurations. The life and work of the master was not strewn with roses. Society's assessment of Rodin has changed over time. Having achieved fame, he for a long time was a controversial, even scandalous figure, a “rebel” who shocked conservative ordinary people with his approach to sculpture. But in last years His life brought him resounding success; Rodin was universally recognized as the greatest master since Michelangelo. The sculptor was able to tame the tense nature of the squares and turn them to his advantage.
For me, the square is the lines from Agni Yoga:
Love obstacles - we grow with them...
Auguste Rodin confirmed this statement throughout his life and work.

Number 4, rulers and imprisoners Moon, Saturn, culminators and decadents Mars, Jupiter, Neptune.
The number 4 symbolizes involution, the crucifixion of the spirit during its materialization. Division into 4 parts means a painful, disharmonious decrease in vibrations, in which the essence loses its unity (unlike division into 3), and the separated parts have yet to gain it through long efforts.
In the sphere of influence of the square, a person feels internal and external disharmony, he feels gross enmity and mutual rejection of planetary principles, which completely do not understand and profane each other, and at the same time cannot disperse in different directions, since they are destined to be together and constantly interact . On the other hand, the square as an aspect, which is an inversion of oneself, gives not only disharmony and all kinds of obstacles, but also means of overcoming them, including, very importantly, enthusiasm for a person who is interested in overcoming external and internal obstacles, thereby participating in evolutionary process.
The effect of a square can be compared to a brick wall appearing in a person’s path, which is impossible to get around. However, taking the bricks apart one by one, he uses them to pave a road through an impassable swamp located directly behind the wall. The square is a natural topic for elaboration, during which a person, on the one hand, overcomes certain (by fate) external
obstacles, and on the other hand, he understands himself, isolates, views and transforms the lower programs of the subconscious. Often one of these processes occurs under the close supervision of consciousness, and the other, as it were, on its own, but for working through a square, the simultaneous solution of external and internal problems is typical: half is, as a rule, not enough. Subjectively, the square symbolizes the holes in the plain of a person’s general well-being: external and internal. Objectively, the square represents those manifestations of a person in which he seems (and often is) lower, rougher and more primitive than usual, or, in any case, areas in which it is difficult for those around him, due to his inadequately biased and often painful attitude towards them . Working through the square gives understanding, wisdom and that knowledge in the relevant areas, which is at the same time a skill. But still, a person is left with a feeling of some of his own inferiority, the lack of true harmony, which is given by the trine of the corresponding planets. This is due to the fact that working through the square takes the problem of mutual rejection of planetary principles to the next level, but never (in this incarnation) removes it completely. On the other hand, a constructive attitude towards the problems posed by the square gives a person the opportunity not only to effectively build himself, but also to be included in significant karmic programs: first at the level of an intuitive performer, and then a conscious participant.
The Moon as the ruler and imprisoner of the square symbolizes man's dual attitude towards the manifestations of the square. As a ruler, the Moon makes the severity of the corresponding problems for a person natural, as if immanently inherent in personal destiny; This feeling is meant by the saying “you can’t carry your own burden.” Many people with a difficult fate, even those who constantly complain about it, would nevertheless not agree to exchange for a lighter and more harmonious one. This is connected not only with the habit of one’s life and even its hardships, but also with the transmission of the individual spirit: a person feels that precisely the circumstances in which he lives are destined for him by fate with an unknown, but very high purpose. In addition, the Moon, as the ruler of the square, makes it possible for a person to subconsciously adapt to the specific disharmonious circumstances in which he finds himself, and a person sometimes demonstrates vitality and adaptability to seemingly unthinkable and inhuman conditions of external or internal life.
On the other hand, the Moon, as the imprisoner of the square, gives colossal subconscious resistance to the idea of constructively working through difficult and unpleasant situations and circumstances for a person. No matter what the mind says (and it often does not object), the subconscious program for saving strength forces a person to overcome obstacles at a minimum height, ignore troubles, postpone a responsible decision as long as this is physically possible, etc. Therefore, at the first levels of working out the square, a person’s adaptation on the one hand, it goes towards disharmony of external and internal realities on its own and quite successfully, and on the other hand, with the greatest possible economy of forces, and economy from the point of view of an extremely myopic ego. This is similar to how a person, settling down to sleep on a bare rock, sprinkles it with sand exactly along the contour of his body - the way it looks at the moment of falling asleep, completely ignoring the fact that any movement in a dream will lead to unpleasant contact with the bare stone. This peculiar balance of natural adaptation and resistance to it, which can be called the principle of local and necessary adaptation, brings to life numerous effects consisting in the fact that the sore spot is (if possible) carefully isolated from the psyche and outside world, as a result of which it is indeed partially protected, but at the same time it is completely deprived of the possibility of healing, developing an adequate reaction and normal relationship with the rest of the psyche. Depending on specific external circumstances and mental organization, these effects manifest themselves in the form, for example, of a narrowing of perception, repression into the subconscious, various inferiority complexes, phobias, neuroses, etc.
Working through the square gives a person insight into his subconscious and (in the appropriate areas) the transformation of the grossest and most disharmonious ego programs into more acceptable ones. However, the problems of the square do not end there: a person begins to sort things out and struggle with himself at a new level - now he is not satisfied and those circumstances of the external world and internal life that previously seemed quite acceptable or did not attract attention at all seem disharmonious and incorrect.
Saturn as the ruler and sharpener of the square symbolizes dual character style of obstacles that arise in front of a person, as well as ways to overcome them. Saturn as a ruler makes it necessary to deeply study the problems corresponding to the square, both external and internal, which is most often expressed in the fact that these problems cannot be circumvented and are difficult to completely repress into the subconscious (although here a person, as we know, is capable of much). They have to be solved gradually, and mainly through internal work, that is, working on oneself. Saturn as a ruler symbolizes the fact that walls built in a square should be dismantled brick by brick, and not broken through with a battering gun or your own head. If the square is worked out correctly, then each removed brick, on the one hand, is recycled, and on the other, makes the hole in the wall visibly wider, which is a source of both enthusiasm and new information about the unknown world behind the wall, to which a person gradually gets used to. Saturn as ruler gives patience and discipline, and over time, the wisdom needed to overcome obstacles.
As an imprisoner, Saturn makes the obstacles of the square unbearable for a person, he perceives them as prison bars and often, in despair, focuses all his inner attention on the manifestations of the square, unable to distract himself from the problem, which at the moment is clearly not solvable, but objectively, perhaps, not that significant for him. However, some force sharply narrows his consciousness, and he sees neither the sky with clouds and various luminaries, nor groves and meadows with their characteristic fauna, nor even the delights of the city landscape, but with a tenacity worthy of better use, he circles with his thoughts along a closed trajectory, vainly hoping to find a way out of it. The imprisonment of Saturn often provokes ambition aimed at completely unattainable (at this level) goals, which leads to severe frustrations, and, as a rule, a person gets what he wants precisely after his lust disappears. Saturn as an imprisoner gives many difficulties, primarily of a psychological nature, preventing a person from proceeding to a constructive solution to the problem associated with the square; in this list, the reader will recognize the traits of an unprocessed Saturn: lack of faith in one’s own strengths, exaggeration of difficulties, lack of patience and concentration of attention and strength, indiscipline, despair due to the fact that the problem cannot be solved in a week, etc. Imprisonment of Saturn makes it a separate problem pulling out the first brick from the wall of an obstacle gives a person the feeling of being walled up. Working through the square gives the ability not only not to lose courage at the sight of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but also to help in working through the squares, especially in the first phase, to other people who have often completely lost hope of liberation from the vicious circle of almost identical events and problems, which seem to be broken impossible.
Mars, as the culmination and decadent of the square, manifests itself differently depending on the level of development of the aspect. As a climax, Mars provides high vibration energy, very constructive for the person who can master and use it. This makes the square potentially the most powerful of all aspects, since the energy hidden in it allows you to build not only the tallest, but also the most delicate towers, synthesizing reasons that would seem incompatible, and overcoming obstacles that are apparently insurmountable. At a low level, the culmination of Mars gives a person energy that is actually directed towards increasing chaos, that is, his actions actually aggravate the difficulty of the situation in which he finds himself, making the wall created by the square even more impregnable. This false activity is combined with an internal feeling of one’s weakness, inability, being at one’s own level, to even approach the solution to the problem of the square, which reveals the influence of Mars as its decadent. Often the first influence (false activity) is visible and is a cover for the second (feeling of powerlessness), which is mostly repressed into the subconscious, but it also happens the other way around: a person outwardly demonstrates his powerlessness and passivity in the face of difficulties, hiding behind them the desperate but meaningless inner vanity and throwing. On high level Mars as a decadent gives the ability to constructively solve the problems of a square at a minimum of energy potential, like plants that lead complex chemical reactions on the energy of the sun's rays alone (photosynthesis).
Jupiter as the culmination and decadent of the square symbolizes the dual nature of the feeling of support and burden that karma gives to a person when working through this aspect.
At a low level, the influence of Jupiter as a climax is expressed in the fact that the obstacles and difficulties of the square are objectively perceived as excessive in number, which is well understood by folk wisdom: “Trouble has come - open the gate,” “Trouble does not come alone.” This feeling is aggravated by the influence of Jupiter as a decadent, which is expressed in the fact that a person initially does not feel any support from higher powers, which must be earned by overcoming despair, forcing oneself to look at things realistically and starting constructive activities. This situation is typical for many fairy tales that describe the karmic program associated with the square: trouble comes (activation of disharmonious influences), the hero is left alone, but there is nothing to do (rule of Saturn), tears cannot help grief (fall of Neptune), the search for happiness or the missing princesses (constructive activity) you need to start on your own, without moral and physical support, which, however, is promised by the continuation of the fairy tale (elaboration of the aspect).
At a high level, the culmination of Jupiter symbolizes the abundance of opportunities and the significance of the achieved result for further development a person, as well as expanding the possibilities of his participation in the destinies of other people and their karma, which he can help them work through effectively and, as far as possible, harmoniously. Jupiter as a decadent symbolizes at this level the power of an autodidact (self-taught), who, having learned and overcome all obstacles himself (this is typical for a square without harmonious aspects softening it), turns out to be capable of progress in completely unexpected directions, but at the same time his limitations : a well-developed square can never be compared with a trine; it always gives some inferiority and one-sidedness of development (the costs of professionalism, for which the square is typical; the trine gives a versatile amateur).
Neptune, as the culmination and decadent of the square, symbolizes the various types of meditations that accompany its elaboration. At a low level, the influence of Neptune as a decadent is expressed in negative emotional meditations associated with the emergence of an insurmountable (at first and second glance) obstacle, which plunges a person into despair, tears and dull melancholy and similar states in which obstacles are seen as snowy ridges, and enemies omnipotent evil wizards and sorcerers, and dispelling these Neptunian (lower octave) spells can be very difficult; The inclusion of Saturn helps: “The eyes are scary, but the hands are doing.”
As a climax, Neptune at this level gives a person the temptation to forget, to escape from the problems of the square, for example, flying away with a bright dream in those times when the corresponding problem will be finally solved, and how wonderful it will be from all sides. However, if the severity of the square becomes completely unbearable for a person, Neptune can give him partial narcotic anesthesia.
At a high level, the culmination of Neptune is expressed in supporting the efforts of a person with higher meditations, when he (in the sphere of action of the square) will be able to be steadily in a state of spiritual aspiration, and then he will be able to see in what karmic programs he is taking part, and to do this more meaningfully and more free; at this level, in the corresponding spheres, he feels cosmic love directly. The influence of Neptune as a decadent is expressed in a certain disappointment experienced by a person who reaches the next level of elaboration of the square: his usual meditations and vibrations disappear (more precisely, they cease to please him), and in place of old problems new ones appear, which concern him no less. than the previous ones; and those, having decided, will bring much less emotional joy than he thought at the beginning of the journey.
At the first level of working through the square, a person turns out to be completely unprepared for its disharmonious manifestations and perceives them not as an obstacle, but as a misfortune, from which he begins to seek salvation, first of all, in outside help, or does nothing for some time, trying to repress all troubles into the subconscious and secretly hoping for a miracle that will turn the square into a trine. However, the square (when it is turned on) is a permanent obstacle (unlike the opposition, even if it has not been fully worked out, whose disharmonious influence can often be waited out by slouching and covering your head with your hands), and it is not possible to displace, ignore or deal with it with one blow, and a person has a feeling of a hunted animal in the relevant areas; the subconscious mind reacts with its protective (semi) measures, and in pronounced cases creates programs that are well known in psychoanalysis: complexes, phobias, obsessive actions, depressive states or inadequate aggression, etc. Harmonious aspects, on the contrary, soften and sometimes make these effects external almost invisible, but the problem nevertheless remains.
The disharmony created by the square should not be imagined as a set of purely negative phenomena. Even at the first level of elaboration, that is, without having yet had time to do practically anything, a person feels interest and abilities in the spheres governed by the planets forming a square. Often troubles begin precisely because a person feels the energy of the interaction of planets, and he really likes it, but he, completely unaware of how disharmonious it is both outside and inside him, behaves as if these planets are in a trine , each time sincerely surprised at the seemingly random mishaps that bring him so much undeserved grief and disappointment. A typical manifestation of the square at this level is described by the saying: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” since good intentions in the spheres governed by the undeveloped square (and a person in these spheres is always internally very interested and often very active) lead to the revival of involutionary programs. A typical reaction of the psyche here is often expressed in a rationalization like: “I am very capable, but circumstances (people, political situation...) do not allow me to realize my talents and capabilities.” Here it should be borne in mind that external disharmony is always a consequence of internal disharmony; it is this that should be sought and the elaboration of the square should begin with it.
At the second level of working through the square, a person finds the courage to admit that there is a significant obstacle in his path that must be overcome.
At this moment, he feels his loneliness and abandonment by God, but he feels sufficient strength to start doing something, although he has little hope of success. As a rule, a person’s actions at this level, as well as his awareness of the problem, relate exclusively to the outside world and are therefore ineffective. An unresolved internal contradiction exteriorizes into more and more new obstacles, very similar to each other, and a person, with great difficulty overcoming them one by one, feels like a fairy tale hero, chopping off the heads of a snake, which easily grows them again and again. However, in the course of this battle, some essential details and details of the karmic knot symbolized by the square are revealed, although very slowly, and, in addition, the person learns something about himself and his subconscious, as about his hidden capabilities (courage, strength, resourcefulness, which suddenly appear when it is really needed), and about the lower programs of the subconscious and gross personality and character traits specific to a given square. These traits and programs seem to a person at this level to be integral parts of him, with which he will die (“the grave will correct the hunchback”), but he tries to suppress them, understanding the negative role they play in external situations governed by the square. In other words, at the first level of elaboration of the square, a person often does not even feel how he is “carried” (an evil force within its limits), or does not try to oppose anything to this, while at the second level a person partially monitors such states of his and tries to overcome them. dock.
The second level is characterized by partial internal acceptance of the gravity of the square (although on occasion a person may try to speculate on it) and lunar (subconscious) adaptation to it, and although a person does not yet feel Jupiterian (as a climax) support, he also does not feel Jupiterian (as a decadent) excessiveness of trouble is already gradually leaving, often replaced by exorbitant pride in one’s work, workload and abilities in the areas governed by the square. Here, completely unnatural arrogance and pride are possible, which, as a rule, are incomprehensible to others due to the person’s more than modest visible successes in the relevant areas.
At the third level of elaboration of the square, the emphasis of the corresponding problem shifts to a large extent to the inner life of a person. He sees that external failures and obstacles in areas ruled by planets in a square are largely caused by himself, that is, his inability to resolve internal problems and contradictions, which leads to incorrect and completely disharmonious behavior in the external environment and is the cause of many failures and disappointments. By taking care of himself and his inner imperfection, a person discovers that, firstly, there is a direct connection between the harmony of his inner and outer world and the removal of internal tension leads to a softening of the corresponding external tension, and sometimes completely removes the problem that seemed eternal and unshakable; secondly, his own shortcomings, “vices” and “inabilities” can be gradually corrected, although with periodic failures and slips into the familiar area of low vibrations (rough, unbalanced energy flows); and thirdly, he feels significant support for his serious and long-term program in the spheres of the square, both energetic (Mars) and in terms of emerging opportunities (Jupiter). The peculiarity of the square is that this support ends immediately as soon as a person moves away from his karmic program, which, on the one hand, serves as a good guide, but at the same time is quite difficult morally, in particular because at this level it is difficult to distinguish an increase in severity that arose as a result of deviation from personal karma, from simply a slightly more intense part of it. However, here Saturn requires more discipline from a person than wisdom, and random deviations from the most direct path sometimes give, if treated correctly, ultimately even a more creative elaboration of one’s karma.
At this level, a person already identifies the principles of the planets standing in a square and learns to coordinate the subconscious programs controlled by them. With their direct interaction, sharp effects arise, the cause of which can be very deep and inaccessible to a person, but he tries to smooth them out or, at least, study the zones of contact of the planets and mark them with a flag “ dangerous area"and approach only at very low energy. Here it is possible to partially harmonize the principles of the planets, which will be a great success for a person. At this level, the square is perceived as a big problem, constituting (in its spheres of influence) both the main interest and content of life, although the latter at times and it seems too difficult to a person.
At the fourth level of elaboration of the square, a person perceives it as the most constructive aspect, providing the opportunity for deep and interesting internal development and corresponding external activity. At this level, a person sees in the square an opportunity to find and untie a heavy karmic knot, hints and indications of which he receives through disharmonious external circumstances. These circumstances and events activate deeply hidden lower programs in him, which, revealing themselves, become for a person an object of study, clarification and subsequent transformation into more acceptable ones. This process is never routine or painless, and, moreover, as it progresses, a person is often drawn into the complex karmic interweavings of external life; comparing it with the inner one, he understands a lot about both one and the other. At this level, a person sees many karmic programs and often penetrates quite deeply into the subconscious of the people around him, which gives him the opportunity to help them work through their squares and other aspects of the horoscope. The square makes it possible to build a tangible structure on the border between Chaos and Cosmos, a heavy and stable bridge, by crossing which a person can break out of egocentric circles and see the continuation of his path.
As you know, this configuration looks like a triangle with a right angle, and can combine the signs of only one cross, so its interpretation begins not from the participating planets, but from the cross: https://vk.com/wall-31915057?owners_only=1&q= tau-.. .
Many people fear the T-square like fire, considering it the most difficult and painful figure. But, believe me, it can be much worse, for example, a bisextile, a sail or a large trigon, which contained damaged elements 6/8/12. Conservatives will laugh in my face - what are you talking about, girl, these beautiful harmonious figures, on the contrary, will smooth out any shortcoming or risk, turning it into talents and freebies. Indeed, they will certainly smooth it out if adequate elements are involved, and if the listed ones are involved, then this is a real mirage in the desert - a person chooses life according to trines and sextiles, because it is much easier than struggling, straining and working, but with the participation of malefactors it turns out that Instead of an oasis, the native chose an irreversible (the figures are closed) disaster, and since the distillation of energies in such a figure is harmonious, negative events happen quickly and easily. For example, the formula for widowhood: an oblique sail or bisextile with a base of 7-9/12 by 8. And no one would have thought that such an abomination could be hidden in the most harmonious chart. Against this background, t-squares sometimes look much more promising, but only on the condition that we use and work on them as nothing other than our profession. Yes, yes, you heard right, t-squares can and should be implemented, but only in your work. Because only at work we can be so stressed. And if its capabilities are used in career advancement, the t-square can take you to unprecedented heights. Especially if his planets have support and harmonious aspects, because everything is good in moderation, both tension and harmony.
Thus, when asked about profession, the first thing I look at is not the houses of work, but the t-squares, especially if their planets are associated with the 2nd, 6th and 10th houses. They are the ones who talk about the main area of employment and the functions performed in the process of work stress. In synthesis with the zones, signs and formulas of the houses of work, a very accurate picture is obtained. Plus, by advising you to choose a field of activity according to the t-square or even just a square, you relieve a person from other problems that this figure can bring, and divert its energy into a constructive direction. To draw the right conclusion, you will also need to know well the professions to which crosses are assigned:
1. Cardinal = startupers, entrepreneurs, pioneers, idea developers, creators (many of them are photographers, artists, designers, for example), and as a result, they are frequent guests in the media, and they are simply not shy about showing themselves.
2. Fixed = any profession that requires physical exertion (from a waiter, dancer, sailor to lifeguard and cook), or perseverance, as well as professions related to politics and power (civil servants), finance, hierarchies and structures
3. Mutable = professions ending in ist, such as lawyer, linguist, journalist, logistician, tourism business, economist (accounting), parodist (cosplay) and also teachers, doctors, psychologists and all sorts creative professions freelance professions, such as operators
Next, you will need to consider the basis of the t-square as a functional, starting with the value of the sign axis (here are the most basic ones, but can be supplemented):
- Aries-Libra: diplomacy, contracts, work with key clients, consultation, creation, “chief ..”
- Taurus-Scorpio: insurance, finance, crisis management, state apparatus (pension fund), tax, audit, working with money/potential client property, leasing, notary services, security, security, politics, physical activity, etc. .
- Gemini-Sagittarius: logistics, IT, sales, communications, mediation, teaching
- Cancer-Capricorn: construction, security, artistic professions (photographers often)
- Leo-Aquarius: IT, engineering, modern technologies, creativity, public affairs, stage, forecasting
- Virgo-Pisces: teaching, cleaning, schematization, service, closed/secret organizations, doctors, army
Apply the functions of the base planets to the sphere. Moreover, it is worth considering their opposition as a function of combating. The near planet, with the help of its functions, fights the distant one.
And finally the top will have the final say.
It's easier to show than to tell, look at the cards and read:
1. John Lennon preached the ideas of equality and brotherhood of people, peace, freedom. This made him an idol of the hippies and one of the most significant public figures 1960s-1970s. Fought against oppression and dictatorship: Moon in Aquarius 180 Pluto, through voice, singing, music: Mercury in a water sign at the top of the t-square.
2. Zinedine Zidane is a famous football player, and later a coach: first as a player (sun) midfielder (cancer) against the opposing team (Jupiter), and then as a coach (himself in the role of Jupiter) over the players (sun). Pluto cusp at 5 in Virgo = physically strenuous activity as work-play. (click on the picture to enlarge)
3. Tony Blair - former Prime Minister of England (Chiron diplomat at 9 in the difficult zone at the top), leader of the Labor Party. While climbing the career ladder, he also wrote a column for the Times (Mercury is involved in the t-square, in addition to the diplomat Venus). The Aries-Libra diplomacy axis is at the base. But the most interesting thing is that the program of social transformation of the “New Labour” was aimed at ensuring and maintaining social justice and stability of British society (Venus).

The theoretical basis for the modernization of the country was the concept of the “Third Way”, developed by Tony Blair’s chief adviser Anthony Giddens. The “third way,” according to Blair, is a search for an alternative, a compromise and a combination of two elements: a market economy and universal social justice, combined with increased attention to the human factor. One of the main vectors in social policy“New Labour” was a gender program based on the need for equality in society, which would contribute to sustainable democratic development. Labor focused its attention on the problem of women's employment and the problem of gender inequality in the labor market, which is most manifested in the wage gap between men and women (in 1997, women's hourly earnings amounted to 80.2% of men's hourly earnings, and in 2004 they rose to 82%). An excellent demonstration of the struggle of Venus in Aries against the opposition of the limiter Saturn in Libra (restriction of women's rights).
Try to analyze your t-squares in terms of their participation in your professional activities.
P.S.: while researching t-squares, I was finally convinced that the logic of their interpretation also applies to tau-squares with nodes (previously: https://vk.com/wall-31915057?owners_only=1&q=tau-..) : a planet at the top of a t-square with nodes is not at all an obstacle to fulfilling karmic tasks, but when correct use, on the contrary, is the karmic profession/activity of the native, while the axis of the nodes talks about the functions performed in the process of such activity.
A shoemaker without boots - Russian proverb
The doctor heal himself - either Avicenna or Hippocrates
Recently, ChloFlo had a huge discussion on the topic of whether there can be a “shoemaker without boots,” or a specialist who is doing poorly in the main subject of his specialization. A shabby stylist, a pimply cosmetologist, a fat fitness trainer, a psychotic psychologist, and so on.
So, from an astrological point of view, there may be the coolest specialists in precisely the area where they themselves “hug and cry.” Because for them this is the only way to work out some square in the astromap.
A little educational information: in the astromap there are green or so-called harmonious aspects and tension aspects - red. Red between planets at 180 degrees is opposition, at 90 degrees it is a square.
The action of the square can be described as follows: in some place, in some kingdom-state, there is a very desirable thing for a person, a quality, a sidhi, a prize, a goal. Let's say a barrel of honey for Winnie the Pooh. But next to the barrel there is an impenetrable swarm of aggressive bees. Or angry wasps. Or crooked and heavy rakes.
And it’s useless to tell Vinnie “don’t step on the same rake.” He will go and attack again. Because that’s where the honey is, which Pooh can’t live without.
The square aspect is honey and a rake in the same place, acting simultaneously. A person simply cannot help but go there; there is something longed for and desired for him. But there are also “favorite rake”.
So, one way to work out a square: a rake lets a person get to the honey. But he must give the honey to others. He can hold it in his hands, enjoy its taste, color and smell. But give it away. Otherwise - a rake.
The square is a direct channel to the energy above, access to the egregor. But at a certain level, a person is only an intermediary; attempts to retain at least a little of higher energy for oneself, to “squeeze” are severely punished.
You can keep it for yourself only after working to the fullest, completing your 12 labors of Hercules for the prosperity of some king, without any attempts to take advantage of the results.
Examples: I know several wonderful, natural matchmakers with Moon-Uranus, Venus-Uranus squares. But their personal lives are in complete disarray.
I assume that Vera from “The Singles Are Provided with a Hostel” is precisely the owner of such a square. Let us remember her mystery: a wonderful matchmaker with no chance of marriage, and when her personal life began to improve, Sodom and Gomorrah collapsed. And only when Vera passed the test of loyalty to the square (one way or another, she would still engage in matchmaking or pimping), only then the rake of the square let her go a little, allowed her to “keep it for herself” a little.
Another example. When I was young, I did aerobics in the same gym where artistic gymnasts trained. And they were trained by a very famous coach in the city, from under whose wing came the champions of the then Union, and then Russia.
And the trainer itself was such a size that... I can’t even find a suitable comparison. At the same time, she moved a lot and gracefully. Her close friends said that it was simply impossible to sit at the same table with her, she swept away everything on the table. And she herself developed excellent nutrition and training systems for her pets, they were vigorous and did not gain weight. But I just couldn’t apply all this to myself. Moon-Saturn square, Cancer-Libra in action.
In general, all of the above can be multiplied by two specifically for the squares of Saturn, which act like “I got caught in a stupid class, explained it five times, already understood everything, but they are still stupid.”
Saturn squares often act this way: if you want to get honey and avoid the rake, go teach others how to get honey and avoid the rake.
So, where you have a square, you have a talent, an ability, but a unique one. Sometimes from the outside it looks like complete mediocrity and insignificance. But you are drawn there by an irresistible force, something constantly happens there from the series “you wanted to make a thunderstorm, but got a goat,” you go for honey and get a rake.
And one of the ways to get honey in the direction of the square is to carry this honey to others. Or teach others to carry honey. And until you start doing this, the rake will not go anywhere.
In the next Astro Mondays, I will talk about other ways to work out a square, and about specific squares. I’ll start with the Mars-Venus square - this is one of my “favorites”. And of course I have it.
Let me remind you that I haven’t been giving astro consultations for a very long time, and I’m definitely not going to do it in the next six months.
