The T-Square-- do you have one? :)

The T-Square


Anyone have experience with a T-Square(s) in their chart-- fixed or otherwise?


I have one of these gems in my chart.

Specifically, a Fixed T-Square.


Jupiter 10th House- Aquarius

Mercury 4th House- Leo

Mars 12th House- Taurus


From what I have read, the "missing leg" is where we will find resolution to T-Squares-- and in my case, it would be the 7th House.


How did you go about finding the answer to this (what looks like a) mixed blessing in your own chart?


Excerpt from bobmarkastrologer.com:

T-Square: when two planets that make an opposition aspect (180 degrees) are both making a square aspect (90 degrees) to some third planet. Draw lines connecting all three and you have a T.




Since the square and opposition aspects are supposed to be —stressful BAD aspects??, beginners usually get terrified whenever they spot a T-Cross in a horoscope.

Guess what? This configuration frequently appears in the charts of business leaders, corporation presidents, and other dynamic people. That's because the stress is focused.

Having a T-Cross is like sitting on a 3-legged chair. You know where the problem is, and that makes it easier to fix.

The planet that makes the square aspects with the opposing planets gets emphasized. We say that it is in Point Focus.

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.

I know that the people here on DXP have an enormous amount of knowledge on Astrology-- your contributions would be appreciated.

You experience commitment issues, especially in career-- does that have more to do with the house that it's in?

Or the moon, itself?


Have you found any positives that have manifested through these t-squares?

Mind you-- I'm really not sure I'm asking the right questions-- I'm reading up on these as I go, and I'm confused, but fascinated.


Thanks, sand. 🙂

moon in leo 2 degrees is my focal point. my singleton is uranus in 2nd house only planet in mutable.

the opposing degree or solution to mine is 2 aquarius.

PHASE 303 (AQUARIUS 3??): A DESERTER FROM THE NAVY.

KEYNOTE: The individual's self-realization through a crucial repudiation of a collective status which has become unbearable.

This symbol recalls the one for Scorpio 21??, but the fact that actual "desertion" is emphasized and reference is made to "the Navy" suggests that the crisis symbolized here is one implying an irrevocable change of status. Man refuses to accept the type of cultural patterns derived from his society's specific approach to local circumstances and to the universe as a whole, and in another sense, from its particular relationship to the all-human collective Unconscious. (The Navy refers to the ocean, symbol of primordial and unconscious evolutionary forces.) He not only refuses to obey orders, he deliberately turns his back on his collective social status; he becomes an outcast, and through this decision he may definitely individualize his consciousness.

This is the third stage of the sixty-first five-fold sequence. Something with collective social value is being potentially destroyed, but nature is not the destroyer (as in the preceding symbol). Man, the individual, steps out of his bondage to collective patterns and ideals. He may thus "find himself' by means of a sharp renunciation of his social birthright, i.e. by a crucial process of DESOCIALIZATION.

I missed this!

yes. pluto-moon-venus and pluto-moon-merc.

it has to do with the planets involved. the house the focus point falls in is the area where it will be most felt so yes on that as well.

i am career driven. my chart is very angular. my t-squares are also angle rulers. pluto rules my 1st. moon rules my 10th. venus rules my dsc. so it all gets intensified further.

ghandi has a similar fixed t-square to leo moon in h10 to me. so we'll see how that works out...

a t-square is better than a grand trine imo.

Ok-- I'm reading over all of this info.

Thank you! *grateful*



I'll be back. 😉

I have 4 of them... Not really sure what they mean...

Uranus-moon-jupiter
Pluto-moon-jupiter
Pluto-merc-jupiter
Pluto-venus-jupiter

*shrugs* Altho I now have something to research! Lol!

Piggyback question: what happens when a person completes your tsquare to form a perfect square?

Hmm-- what do you mean-- they have a planet in your "missing leg"?

Posted by betel
I have four of them.

3 cardinal. 1 mutable.

2 from the moon.
1 from the sun and moon.


5th, 8th and 9th houses are my missing "leg".

Relationships and spirituality...ugh.. :/

Sounds like fun.

Nice. I did the research and it actually answered some questions. 🙂

T-Square from Ven: 0Pis47'40" to Moo: 25Tau20'20" and Plu: 24Sco43'00"
T-Square from Jup: 13Lib46'44" to Sun: 14Cap22'29" and Mar: 18Can57'12"
T-Square from Jup: 13Lib46'44" to Mar: 18Can57'12" and Ura: 17Cap53'24"
T-Square from Jup: 13Lib46'44" to Mar: 18Can57'12" and Nep: 18Cap29'46"
T-Square from Sat: 16Aqu44'50" to Moo: 25Tau20'20" and Plu: 24Sco43'00"

....Venus/Saturn in 11th house. Jupiter in 6th.
...serving others and group causes.
So working in a soup kitchen solves all my problems basically.

@basari: Maybe I'm blind but I see no T-squares in that chart..?

I have one mutable and another cardinal (with astro and cafe, but interactive chart its strict with the orb and only gives my two grand trines and not also the t-squares).

Anyway, The missing leg makes you somewhat to be attracted to that missing sign. My missing legs are Capricorn and Virgo.

I am married to a Capricorn 🙂 We complete each other.

And I have no earth in my chart (only chiron in Taurus).

I think I have like 6 (a guesstimate) all Cardinal

My missing leg is in Aries

And I have a singleton Fire in Sag moon.

I have no idea what to make of my chart. smh
