Since its been awhile since this was discussed..... lets look again at what we are exploring.
This is not your natal chart. Its a Minor Progressed Return Chart. This shows the kinds of issues that you are addressing mentally and the kinds of things that are on your mind in regards to current challenges only.
We talked about what Oppositions, Squares, and T-Squares mean in a chart and how in a general way they might apply to your current thinking.
So at this point, we need to look at the specifics of the T-Squares.
The first one is the dominant one: this is the Venus Opposite Neptune with the Saturn Focus.
This also consists of three separate aspects which can be explored:
Venus Opposite Neptune
Venus Square Saturn
Neptune Square Saturn
Of these The Neptune Square Saturn is the most frictionful and powerful, followed by Venus Opposite Neptune. Of course, oppositions are always more difficult than squares because you can’t see them coming, and you can’t just work harder, you have to change your thinking about something---the way you choose to perceive it.
We talked about the above already.
-------------
But lets look at the big picture first.
The most significant impact of the T-Square is the Opposition
, in this case, the the Venus Opposite Neptune Opposition. A Neptune-Venus opposition brings the following issues:
1.
Its primarily about relationships. You may have some unrealistic goals, and these attitudes are causing challenges in dealing with those close to you.
2.
You are being forced to accept the reality of these relationships
3.
Neptune in opposition to Venus brings illusions in regards to love relationships. You may think that you are the unselfish giving one who is sacrificing yourself for others, but this is in reality not the case. You have to be aware of mental challenges where you may be using this illusion as a way to gain power over the relationship. You have to address challenges about who is more grateful of the others attentions.
4.
There is real issues mentally where you are being deceived or allowing yourself to make up things about a relationship which are not really happening.
Remember the above is what you are thinking about, not your feelings.
This is a mutable T-Square, and as such we have addressed that above. The next thing to do is to look at the apex planet in a mutable T-square, and to see how that impacts the square in the totality.
If there was no T-Square, you might not be forced to address the relationship issues of the opposition, but because of it, you really can’t stop.
An apex planet describes how the individual is to resolve the tension and dilemma of the opposition in the t-Square, which in this case is Venus Opposite Neptune.
Even in oppositions without an apex planet or asteroid, the midpoint of the opposition whether a point or even an Arabic part can show the seeds to solving the dilemma.
Your apex planet is Saturn, who always attempts to bring a measure of structure to any situation.
Before we go to the specifics of Saturn as an apex planet in a mutable T-Square, or to the very strong and difficult Saturn Square Neptune supporting structures in the T-Square, lets just look generally at what Saturn brings to the T-Square. And try to rememeber that Saturn and its placement is telling you how to resolve the relationship issue described above in the Opposition:
1. Takes a practical and serious approach to establish long term objective
2. Tends to undergo numerous setbacks, delays, when striving for success as others see you.
3. Forced by life experiences to understand the purpose of wisdom, understand the purpose of planning, of timing, of maturity
4. Often feeling frustrated, held back, and you may be afraid of showing others that he might have any kind of personal inadequacy to others, or even to himself
5. Appears constantly on guard, reserved, painfully self-conscious
6. Tends to distrust and won’t participate in any intimacy
7. Tends to be very controlling to protect yourself from vulnerability
8. Can shrewdly calculate your moves when you are so incluned to put in the effort.
9. Can exert a lot of discipline and control when necessary
10. Tends to not relax--- ever. You may find yourself hyper vigilant to relationship issues, when you should be simply ignoring them.
11. Tends to never become close or feel at ease in any relationships. Be aware that this is part and parcel to the struggles that you are having mentally here
12. Tends to avoid any partnerships where warmth, tenderness, or lovingness are expected. Be aware of this.
13. Attempts to manage with an iron fist, and the power of command, while part of Saturn, may not be as useful as you would like.
14. Must learn to trust and share with others
18. Resolving this T-Square will allow you to be ambitious without controlling and running constant power plays
15. Resolving this T-Square will allow you to be respected in your efforts toward justice in the relationships
16. All the areas of problems can be resolved
These are the ways that Saturn influences the structure of the Mutable T-Square. You can see that while Saturn is structure incarnate, Saturn's interaction with Pisces is often a lot like Saturn in Pisces, and in this case Saturn is high friction and fairly high power, so Saturn can bring the more negative side to its structure. But even so Saturn is telling you the issues involved.
But we can be even more specific. Saturn in a mutable T-Square will tend to provide these even more specifics, and can tell you how to address the opposition,
and at the same time the kinds of struggles that you will experience doing so:
1. Demands more discipline of mental interests and less scattering of energies
2. Circumstances tend to provide situation where you may be forced to learn to concentrate your intellect and then apply what he learns in a practical way. This is probably the easiest position for Saturn in a t-square.
3. Tends to experience frustration in communication until you learn focus and direction.
4. Tends to have concepts that are too narrow or cynical
5. Tends to be pessimistic and engage in negative self-talk
6. Tends to be an overly rational skeptic about everything that involves what you can’t see right in front of you.
7. Tends to not trust the emotions and to put them down, or those who use them down.
