Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Dear Anna: Yes, your reply does help: I think I have leapt light years in my understanding with these replies from you, Trish, and Sateesh. I tend to look (Western overview-house/sign) at the Grand Cross, and it DOES impact H-1-7 axis and H-4-10 axis, but by degree, it "looks like" only on May 8, Mars-Jupiter at 15 degrees exactly squares [CLARIFICATION]: NT Moon (Aries), AND TR MARS ALSO OPPOSES TR MOON IN CANCER AND TR JUPITER at 15 degrees, which is a T-square, TO NATAL MOON. With the information Trish supplied, I'm intuitively guided to seek the "missing piece" of this T-square in H-4. It "sounds like" it could be a change of residence on the surface and possibly a deep inner change underneath the surface, possibly more emotional since it is a Moon aspect, but with Mars sub-dasa, it could also be action-oriented externally—either way this will keep "mind" busy for awhile. Thanks to you too for another "missing piece of the puzzle."

I have a fair amount of experience in Western and more limited understanding of jyotish, and have always had a keen interest in the formations you asked about. > > Mars in Cap/Jupiter in Cancer: In general terms, both are exalted, they are friends and in mutual aspect. In Western this might be viewed as an energizing or even "lucky" aspect (there was some type of Mars/Jupiter aspect going on in OJ's chart when he was acquitted); however, it is worth noting that this opposition/mutual aspect is by sign only at this point as there is a large separation by degree (orb) right now. Mars and Jupiter will not be exactly opposite one another until May 8th. With respect to your chart, look at the functional status of Mars (yogakaraka) and Jupiter (ruler of 6th and 9th so somewhat mixed) and where each is transiting precisely relative to your first house planets (quite a mixture, there) or 10th house moon. Whichever of your planets is aspected most closely by Mars or Jupiter (up to about a 3 degree orb) would be the ones to watch first, in my mind. > > Don't forget that the full moon means that the Sun (exalted right now) is also a player in your 10th -- exactly opposite the transiting Full Moon. By degree, there is an almost exact T-square among transiting Sun/Moon/Mars, with the "empty space" or "outlet" (the exact point that would make for a Grand Cross were it inhabited by a transiting planet) placed over your lagna. (My understanding of T-squares is that they represent particular challenges or stresses and that the unoccupied kendra can become the focus or outlet for that activity or pressure -- with the nature of the issue depending on the nature of the planets and houses involved.) While transiting Jupiter could be considered as filling that void somewhat as it participates in a Grand Cross by SIGN, from a Western perspective Jupiter would be considered out of orb due to its degree placement, so that there is still a T-square effect to some extent. Another major factor to consider is how closely you r natal Moon is aspected by the Sun/Moon/Mars or (from a Western perspective only) is squared by transiting Jupiter. (Obviously, from a vedic perspective, Jupiter would not cast an aspect onto your tenth house Moon.) > > While I do think there is some mixing of apples and oranges going on here (i.e., mixing aspects of transiting planets with aspects of natal planets), that doesn't mean that looking at these formations is not worthwhile -- it just creates a third type of planetary formation (comprised of transiting to natal planets) to consider. Just keep in mind that their impact will depend on which aspects are more personal to you (rather than the general population) because they "hit" on one of your natal planets closely by degree or because you are running their dasa, etc. > > In your chart, all this activity falls across the 1/7 (you v. significant others) axis and 4/10 (home-family v. public-career) axis. I think the obvious interpretation just looking at houses involved (without knowing your other natal placements, degrees of all those 1st house planets, dasa you are running, etc.) is that focus is being brought to bear on these areas of your life; that there may be some stresses or balancing act going on among them, possibly straining your health or detracting from your sense of self (1st house). In particular, the effect of the Libra full moon would be to illuminate 4th house matters relative to the other three houses also being affected. > > Don't let the concepts of "Grand Cross" or "T-Square" scare you in and of themselves. (After all, with a Grand Cross, there is some balance with all the elements -- earth, water, fire and air involved. With a T-square, always note which element is "missing" and see if it's absence resonates with you in any way.) While these formations can be quite challenging, they can also mark times of great achievement or opportunity. Again, you have to look at the nature and particular combination of planets involved -- of these transiting planets, they are all from a mutually "friendly" group and all relatively friendly to a Cancer ascendant person. Also, they are in "cardinal" signs rather than "fixed" signs like Scorpio, Leo, etc. This says to me that any events these aspects prompt could happen fast or are more likely to generate activity toward resolution -- though there could be some heat involved -- than, say, if fixed signs were involved and, du e to inflexible attitudes or positions, matters might get strained to a breaking point. > > That said, and not knowing how Saturn operates in your chart, I would be mindful of when transiting Mars directly opposes your natal lst house Saturn and/or Mercury as either or those oppositions might create some tension or frustration or otherwise be somewhat problematic (tiredness, etc.). > > I hope some of this is helpful. > > Regards, > > Trish Francis > > > Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya; Hare Krishna; Om Tat Sat > : gjlist- > > > > Terms of Service.
