Configuration Help
I have recently started to learn how to interpret natal charts. I'm reading a couple of books and am slowly starting to understand. however, I was looking over my natal chart and see a box in my chart. When I look under the major configurations, I don't see any explanation for this box. I was wondering it the box is a designation for something? or is it nothing?
The box occurs between:
Sun (In Gemini)
Moon (In Virgo)
Neptune (In Sagittarius)
Jupiter (In Pisces)
Sun is square to Moon
Sun is square to Jupiter
Sun is in opposition to Neptune
Neptune is square to Moon
Neptune is square to Jupiter
Neptune is in opposition to Sun
So, In essence, I have to right triangles that sit on top of each other to make a perfect square, but there is only ONE opposition through the center - sun to neptune.
Does this type of square hold any special meaning?

btw, if anyone else wants to give their interpretation of my chart, I'm all ears!! Reading someone else's interpretation of my chart helps me to determine if my own attempts are close to the mark or not. Interpretations seem to be difficult for me because there are so many different possible meanings to signs/planets that I'm not really quite sure if I am feeling out the correct one, kwim?
While I am waiting on Airgon (or anyone else!) to help me understand the meaning (or lack thereof) of the square which is the topic of this post, I am currently trying to discern the interpretation of the T-Square in my chart that is between Mars (in Cancer), Uranus (in Libra), and Venus (in Ares). I've gathered that the focal element is Water, mode is Cardinal and that these two things mean that the energy (from Cancer) is directed toward the expression of my emotional identity. That's as far as I've gotten.... Does that sound correct?

Okay, here is my "assessment" of the T-square above (Note - I copied some of the Cardinal info from another site):
T-Square between Mars (in Cancer), Uranus (in Libra), and Venus (in Ares):
Focal Planet – Mars
Focal Element – Water (emotional and spiritual)
Mode – Cardinal
The Cardinal T-Square is concerned with the question of identity.
The sign of the focal planet will indicate where the point of focus and integration will be:
Aries = individual identity; Cancer = emotional identity; Libra = social identity;
Planets in Cardinal signs have impulsiveness as a trait of this configuration. Waiting is not something they do well. They are natural born leaders because of this inability to wait for someone else to take the gavel.
The Cardinal quality is prone to lots of action but whether or not that action is productive is another question because often the impulsivity wastes energy. The focal planet will lend insight to where the focus of activity might be the best potential of success. Mars in the 8th house may indicate an emotional or spiritual strength or endurance.
Needed Balancing energy – practicality in earthly or material matters (Cardinal Earth in 2nd house)
Stress from:
Uranus in the 11th house (Libra): Motivations, goals, or aspirations in community or group matters
Venus in the 5th house (Ares): love life and passions
Well, so how did I do???? Am I close or did I miss it by a mile????

this box iscalled an *aspect grid* and is VERY importantLadyRelm2 wrote:I have recently started to learn how to interpret natal charts.

astro.com has a free 'personal portrait' interpretation of a natal chart in the free horoscope section, you simply put the cursor on a planet and it brings a pop up box to explain what it means to have a planet in that house and any other aspects it has to natal planets. plus a six month free transit report in 'short report' Robert Hand gives a valuable in depth explanation of transits here –
Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.
So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....
Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy...
Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.

astrologer50,
sorry if I was unclear....it isn't the aspect grid that I was referring to....
The "box" I was referring to which I need help interpreting is the box in my natal chart between Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Neptune. Neptune & Sun are on AC & DC respectively. Together with Moon & Jupiter, there is a box in my chart. It looks rather peculiar and I can't seem to find an interpretation for it.

You are explaining a Grand Square. Why not use google search for tribes learn astrology aspect configurations.LadyRelm2 wrote:I have recently started to learn how to interpret natal charts.

These aspects are the *meat on the bones* of astrology and well worth researching. you can always PM me for more info.
