August 2012 – Cardinal T-Square – Venus, Uranus, Pluto – Corpses, Pregnancy, Rage, And Obsessive Control
My eye on the sky.
July’s Mars, Uranus, Pluto t-square threw people for a loop. We have another Cardinal T-square forming now, involving Venus in Cancer, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.
Whenever Venus and Pluto combine, ex-partners tend to come back from the dead – I call them corpses. With Uranus involved, the contacts are likely to be completely unexpected and jarring.
I see the T-square involving Mars as more dangerous than this one, generally speaking. However Uranus is in Aries (Mars), and women (Venus in Cancer) are vulnerable to someone who might be obsessively (Pluto) controlling (Capricorn). The women themselves may act out of course.
Relationships (Venus) may be unexpectedly (Uranus) severed (Pluto) at this time. Because Venus is in Cancer, it may be family to is cut off. Surprise pregnancy is also a possibility.
As for an upside to this aspect, people can come back together, as easy as they can separate. Saturn is at the tail end of Libra and if you’ve become estranged from someone and regret it, now would be a chance to contract them and heal the schism.
This T-Square peaks between August 13-18th. People with planets in Cardinal signs between 4-10 degrees will be most affected.
Does this T-square hit your chart?

Hits my sun at 4′ Cancer and juno at 6′ Libra (I don’t know that much about juno, but do tend to keep my eye on it, as it’s conjunct my IC) and my MC at 5′ Aries. The rest of my cardinal placements are either earlier or much later in cardinal signs, but I think it hits enough.
All three of those scenarios are a possiblity, and it’s the wide diversity that has me concerned. Some I think I’m more prepared for than others,

I have natal Uranus at 9 degrees Cancer, 2nd house. I’d like to think that I’m gradually adapting to these conditions…I have Scorpio natal planets in trine to Cancer and sextile to Capricorn, so maybe some of the tension is dissipated. I have felt a generalized sense of dis-ease within myself since this transit began last year…more unsure of things, without being able to identify them…perhaps a feeling of intangible lost security. I find that local, national, and global events tend to affect me more than events in my personal life, as the transiting Uranus/Pluto square continues and is filled-in with transits to Cancer and Libra. These larger-scale issues can eventually impact my personal life, though. As has been discussed in other posts, this is a polarizing time and I’ve become more aware and sensitized to issues that I was insensitive to previously. Maybe that’s the impact of my 2nd and 8th house involvement: re-evaluation of morals, ethics, values and their transformation.
It will touch my natal Pluto rx 6 degrees in Libra. What does this mean? Seems scary.
I have Venus in Cap too, but at 25 degrees.
Natal Venus and moon.
yep feeling it in my natal chart- sun 4 deg Aries, Mars 10 deg Cancer – transiting aspects Pluto (9th)in Cap @ 7, Uranus in Aries (12th)@ 8 deg – Venus @ 7 in cancer- 3rd, this is one wild ride 
Hits my Venus in Libra and Moon in Aries both which will be transiting my 1st house (Cancer – empty house). No idea what it means for me. Suspecting I should keep my head down though
battle of wills with my doctors? not that i didn’t see that coming…
(and, uhm, i see no problem with being obsessively controlling about the health of myself and my baby 
also, baby shower! friends and family in from out of state!
which is to say, yes, my chart will be a christmas tree with these lights passing through…
Yes. It will include my Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron in Libra. Bring it on…I’ve got nothin’ to lose…
natal Sun and Pluto.
Does this T-square hit your chart?
Of course. Of course it does. All my angles again. I’m waiting for a transit that doesn’t affect my chart!
Venus will be squaring my Moon at 10 degrees, and I have natal retrograde Saturn at 11 degrees (Moon-Saturn opposition). Got some conflict coming up around that time to do with unfinished emotional/romantic issues. Uranus will be making a trine with my natal Jupiter, and career matters are looking up (with a promotion), so this makes sense to me too. I’ve got a new mentor who’s a Cancer male.
It DOES! I have Venus in Capricorn at 10 degrees in and my 2nd house, and a Cancer 8th house with Uranus in my 5th house. So it will hit my “Values, Money, Morals”, “Creativity, Romance” and “Sex Death and Taxes” houses. I have to sit and think a bit how this will translate.
It activates my 8˚ Libra Neptune which squares my Mercury/Ceres at 4˚ in Cap.
It may land a glancing blow on my other Cardinal planets too though they are all in the 20s of degrees so will more likely escape
I can’t afford to go out right now anyway! – but I’ll try not to get into fights online…
Mars is on the cusp of transiting my 4th house, as is Saturn which has just entered it. Pluto is transiting my 6th house, Uranus is in my 9th, on my sun. I have Jupiter in early Cancer 12th.
I am already gaining a new family, though my father in law died before this happened. I am experiencing the kind of love I have always wanted, with the person I have always wanted (I have Venus/Pluto natally). Saturn in Libra did it.
Yep moon 10 degrees in Aries though I have to say July didn’t really impact me. However, I’ve definitely been prone to the “corpses.” So I wonder which one and how?
Wham! Right in the kisser!
Not again! Another grand cross flare-up.
These transits have been life changing.
MC @ 8 in Cancer, ASC @ 6 and Venus @ 13 in Libra, t-Uranus @ 8 in Aries and t-Pluto @ 7 in Capricorn.
Until these transits started happening, I never paid much attention to midpoints. The midpoint between my Asc and Venus is @ 9 in Libra. Changes in values are a big theme in my life.
When ♈Uranus transit over my 8th house sun/merc/ven everything came crashing down for the best
I began to start over and accept myself
so now each of these t squares is adding tension in the right location for the right reasons
even if i cant quite see it it while Im in the trench
This pulls n. Uranus into a Grand Cross, but since only an outer planet is in play, people born in ’69 – ’70 are all going to have one.
Making it more personal, what houses are affected? 3-6-9-12.
An old lover contacting me is definitely possible, though remote.
Could be an unexpected job opportunity landing in my lap.
I have Venus/Uranus/Pluto in my chart, a triple conjunction, and one thing I’ve learned in 42 years is I don’t have a set life script. Always expect life to lead me down a strange and interesting path.
Interesting….I left my Taurus love after a long time relationship for many reasons. Some of those reasons/situations no longer exist and we have been talking again the past few months.
I don’t know if I want to get back together but it is nice that we are able to communicate and get along as friends.
It does. T Pluto is on my moon (in the 9th, but loosely conjunct the MC), which makes Venus opposite. T Venus would also be conjunct my Juno. My vertex is opposite T Uranus right now, but don’t know if that’s important.
Other than an old lover who is also a friend, I can’t see any ex’s contacting me. Since last month’s Mars t-square made me very ambitious and energetic, I imagine I may just feel hypersensitive and romantic with this one. I think it’ll manifest internally rather than externally.
It hits my Sun – I am worried about society. I have no control over things as I am someone without a voice. However, it has brought revelations (spiritual ones) perhaps in part due to the Venus/Neptune trine today – I had a deeply religious experience last night. I am doing OK financially compared to my neighbors. I need back surgery and can’t avoid it any longer – but that is likely to be a few months away, and Jupiter is in my sixth house so this should go OK. I would tell all women to be cautious next week. Stay away from places perhaps where obsessive men might be – though one can’t necessarily stay out of a gym or school. Women should be cautious at night going out too next week I would say.
Wow..this is zoo accurate for me..I have a ton of planets in Aries all in my first house…I’ve noticed a lot of men directing complete unfiltered, scorched Earth rage towards me…as though I stir some sort of primal..something! I was physically assaulted at a bar by a man 3x my size…I got into an argument with a male acquaintance about the situation, only to have him write a post on Facebook calling me a “whore”. He’s gone through great lengths to try and destroy my reputation..all because of a drunken argument. Suffice to say, I have been under attack from all sides..not to mention I have a freak hormonal imbalance that gifts me with double the testosterone than the average woman…my moon is in aries…Thank god for my Aries Mars..I’m a fighter…everyday is a fight.
Pluto is conjunct Natal Saturn in early 3rd house.
Venus conjunct Lilith (osc.) at the end of the 8th house.
Black Moon Lilith is also in the 8th house at 14 degrees Gemini.
Uranus in 6th, so 6th-12th axis
Natal Pluto is trine transiting Pluto at 1.11
This pulls so much Saturn in, which is quintile to Transiting Saturn now, too. I see this as a time to learn and grow A TON, esp. with such an opportunity coming as Saturn in Scorp, conj. my Asc.
To try to make a stab at this, the corpses I am dealing with are women who have been connected to an old lover. This is a theme for me. Right now causing trouble for my son at his school, and long-time slander and disruption, loss of reputation, etc.
So, maybe a time to work on self-discipline using my power in to transform outdated ways, of thinking about family relationships (sisters) maybe using the Libra empty corner to balance. Maybe using beauty and the feminine in an unexpected way in dealing with this issue of power and polarized relationships. These women are sisters (3rd) who fit Elsa’s statement about people who “bully others claiming sensitivity.”
I could, for instance, train (saturn) my arrows (aries) on the these sisters in a shocking, sudden and unexpectedly (uranus) beautiful (venus) way in order to achieve the death (pluto in cap) of the corpses. Or, maybe I should just duck :-}.
Hit’s the ex’s. Hit’s mine somewhat (a trine to my ascendent, a trine to my pluto, and venus over there in the 11th house). I wanted to reach out to my ex to get some closure, but after reading this I may not get the response I want, so maybe I will leave it alone.
He was controlling (Capricorn on the IC) and a bit volatile (Aries on the DSC). Maybe I will just sit with it instead. If there is any corpsing to be done, maybe we’ll just let him handle that, and I will keep me out of trouble instead.
Relationships (Venus) may be unexpectedly (Uranus) severed (Pluto) at this time. Because Venus is in Cancer, it may be family to is cut off.
BINGO
It’s interesting. When Pluto entered cap and began it’s square to my natal Pluto I ended my marriage. I lost the farm (literally) and the kids and I moved into a small healthy house in town. My natal merc(Aries)/jup(cap)/Pluto(libra) tsquare was on fire. Ex(cap sun) was horrid and I was a mess. This last week I have had a lot more contact with him. I keep reminding myself I can’t trust him. And I will still be careful but things are calm right now. Maybe we have both learned alot of lessons and can relate now, concerning the kids without distraction. Or atleast without total annihilation?
I also realize we are both doing so much better in our lives. I dont know everything about his. Nor do I want to but it seems like my Jupiter was only blowing his issues up larger. And I could only see “his” issues when we were together. Now I can see a lot more of “my” issues. And work on them.
Today with Venus opposite my Jupiter he came and picked up our youngest son (Scorpio boy) for breakfast and the skate park. He asked if I wanted to join them. It didn’t stir me at all it didn’t feel like he was trying to get back with me or control me. This is HUGE! I declined stayed home(cancer) and started the work I need to do here(cap)
So far so good
I just realized Venus at 4’45″ Cancer is EXACTLY opposite my Jupiter at 4’45″ Capricorn
I have Jupiter trine Venus natally. This opposition is a possitive manifestation between my self and another. Nice to catch something possitive after 4 years of recognizing negetive
Like Josephine, this hits all my angles. In addition it Hits 2 planets, Saturn and Venus, (4th and 7th, respectively).
Today I got an email from a lady who was a good friend of my Aunt who passed away. I don’t know her and have never met her. She offered to send me family photos and my father’s ashes. I always wanted to be part of my family but for reasons too complicated to explain here, I did not know my father or his family. This gesture of kindness from this unknown woman is amazing to me and I’m so touched.
It happened today when Venus is conjunct my MC, opposing natal Saturn on my IC, and squaring natal Venus in the 7th. Uranus transit is conjunct Venus in the 7th.
I feel ya. Same exact thing happening here. Very odd events but thankfully, as strange as this sounds, astrology has been there to help me through it! Otherwise I would be in the looney bin right now!
What a miserable month it has been since July! Blamed for things that never happened, completely turned my life upside down. Jealous male Taurus friend (i’m a girl!) is manipulating the situation between me and the Virgo man I’m dating. Telling really terrible lies just to keep us apart. It’s damaging my reputation in a very harsh and seemingly irreversible way! Lord please have this turn around soon! Very disturbing that someone could do this to another human being; much less one of their ‘friends’.
I’m an Aries with Capricorn rising- so please let this transit be healing and not any more destructive! My little Aries ego can’t take it anymore

yep merc at cancer 8 in my venus rules chart, hoping that may infer my communications which have been twisted by others to scapegoat me and have them looking like the good guy, will suddenly be clarified as I continue to take full responsibility for my words and thoughts, to uphold my personal values, to not retaliate and instead to step back, revealing to them that they have been merely projecting…not interested in them making it known either, just so long as they are honest with themselves…
