Cardinal T-Square(s) – September, 2012 – Mouths Spew Like Volcanoes, Some Egos Are Destoyed, While Others Come Up From The Ashes
My eye on the sky.
Early heads up here, make hay while you can because the last two weeks of September re going to be tense.
I mentioned September 18th as a date to watch. Pluto goes direct then, tightly square Uranus, but this also kicks off the rest of the month, which will be dominated by a Cardinal T-squares, first one and then another.
Mercury in Libra, combines with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn to form a T-square with the effects most pronounced between September 18th and the 21st. As Mercury moves out, the Sun enters Libra to take its place. The effects of the Sun, Uranus, Pluto T-square will be most pronounced between September 23rd and October 1st.
Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect is nothing to joke about. When Mercury is involved, minds are disrupted. Mouths go off like volcanoes, when you least expect it, but mental breakthroughs are also possible.
As an example, recently, my husband and I had an epic fight. I have Mercury in Libra and as upsetting as it all was, I am glad I was able to purge myself and express a number of things I had on my mind. A scenario like this is textbook for this type aspect. People will spew.
As for the Sun / Uranus / Pluto t-square, the gloves come off the actor and we see his or her shadow side. Sudden death of the ego, basically.
It follows then, that the other comes roaring back from the dead. Should be interesting.
People with planets around 7 Cardinal will be most affected. Cancers are going to be hit hard, so they should be getting their shell ready for sure.
Got plans for the end of September? How does this sound to you?

This is all leading up to the Full Moon in Aries on the 29th. Fiery, volatile, exciting, and even violent are words that come to mind. Eek! That Full Moon is conjunct mine and I am hoping to use that energy constructively.
thanks for the heads up elsa. this is the grand finale for my 7 degree cappy sun. looks like the events triggered by this t square will set the stage for the solar eclipse that’s going to fall exactly on my NN and venus on November 13th. These wretched transits of 2012 were the only thing to get a scaredy cat like me to believe in myself enough to dream big. I would not have had the courage or self-esteem otherwise. I still don’t have the confidence….but it will come through hard work and experience. Im going to just keep picturing the goat on the mountain side.
Second burnedbridge, thanks for the heads up 
. My cancer/cappy will at least be supported by other placements at this time. All the same, I’ll have my shell spit shined and 110% ready 
As for plans? None yet, but will definitely try to keep this in mind

I have Pluto trining my Saturn at that time, with other transits looking benign, so on paper it looks OK, I guess.
I’ll get mine in 2014, for sure.
This will hit my Libra Neptune / Cap Merc square bid time. I can only hold my ground, and if it gets messy and more hard words are spoken, that will only be because it’s necessary.
The person I have in mind will have Sun squ Saturn at the time.
The square this past summer wasn’t very kind to me and I am NOT looking forward to this. Hits my Libra shizz. Hopefully I can handle it with a little more grace, though. And maybe *crosses fingers* I’ll be gainfully employed this time!
Should I just go into hiding now? Natal Cancer Sun here.
I have Natal Cancer Mercury at 7 Cancer.
According to astrodienst, Pluto in Cap is opposing my Mercury and has been for a long, long time–at 7Cap. Transiting Uranus @7Aries will be squaring my Natal Mercury on this day as well.
Of course, we all know that the transit we are talking about is the humongo Uranus square Pluto, which seems perfectly designed for me to have a hissy-fit par excellence. Gee, can I get any more screwed, lolololol? Should I just take a vow of silence for a week? Maybe for the rest of 2012?
Thanks for the heads-up about Cancers getting hit the hardest. We are usually the orphan step-children of the zodiac world.
Thank you, Elsa! I am having a nice stroll through your informative site. Nice to be here
oh sh@@@ hits my saturn/mars conjunction. Urgh.
I’m going away at the end of September. Have been hoping my trip gives me a chance to gain some perspective. My Pluto & Mars are in Scorp, first house. And Uranus conjunct my sun. I’m thinking thinking this could prove interesting — maybe the potential for having a break through will bode well for getting unstuck, personal life-wise.
ok, shell cleared out theres room to get in there now and with merc at 8 cancer, the trap will be well shut too
LOL my saturn return will be exact for the third time on 9/23. Wouldn’t expect anything less. Bring it on universe.
Bleurgh… planned out-of-town trip (for the last two weeks of Sept.) to visit both sets of inlaws. Thanks for the head’s up. Gonna try to keep my trap SHUT!
Am starting job search mid month. It’s time to take sabbatical from sabbatical. Am going to check out temp jobs. Virgo is thinking going on tour would be good. 
This has been a fun summer with my sun at 8* Cancer =)… plus Saturn return also conjunct natal Pluto… plus a wicked Solar Return. Didn’t quite think it would be as intense as it has been, even with chart in hand… hanging in there and hoping for good things on the other side! It’s been an adventure.
Thank you for the heads up on Sept 29th. I had my daughter’s birthday party scheduled but I rescheduled it for a few weeks later.
sun at 8 degrees aries
any advice on how to handle this
My 7 degree Jupiter will be involved. I have been having these transits for a while now. My best friend is a recent convert and is completely changing her life due to her new interest in her Muslim faith. The Islamic youth group her and I help run will be back in session during this time. I am not a believer so it puts me in a very awkward position. I almost got sucked into these religions trying to “convert” me. I’m standing my ground and remaining skeptical of these fanatical claims they make that have no basis in reality. I think this will be a time where I need to keep my opinions to myself. I feel like I’m losing faith in myself and life in general.
This full moon conjuncts my progrssed 7th house cusp which is 6 deg…I am exhausted from all of this…I need a job….I need stability…just need a break.
Ha! Just when I htought it was safe to go back in the water. Cue “Jaws” theme song. Thanks for the heads up Elsa.
I never quite understood how these transits would hit the ascendant/descendant axis – what if your ASC were to be in cancer?
As Pluto has been hitting my poor little retrograde 6 degree cancer venus back and forth all over 2011 (well, seemed like it), I really enjoyed Uranus coming along, kind of. Made me see and feel “the other side”, well, glimpses of it, and quite unexpectedly. So for me on one hand, the mother I´ve been for 23 years is literally dying (and it sure feels like it, tearing away my shell and all the strenght and vigour that went along with it), on the other hand there´s a “me” bursting out of that which at least carries the illusion of being free (very Neptunian I am, yes!). Tough times though, for sure.
oh boy.
Im a librasun/libra rising… birthday falls dangerously close to this moon… Will I be effected terribly? Health problems? Is this due to be an issue all year? Im scared!
Welcome, Libra/Libra.
If you post your chart, along with your question on the boards here: http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Someone is sure to weigh in. There is a section for astrology-based advice.
I love when you tell it like it is. I love that you don’t try to prettify things, Elsa. Thank you for the writings you do. I am always grateful to see your email in my email inbox. Sincerely, Natalie in Philly <3
Gah! Clarification on “death of the ego … the other comes roaring back from the dead”? Which other?
This is unbelievably accurate — an email feud between my brother and I has been simmering for a while, then escalated dramatically on September 18th and as of today seems to be escalating into a full scale war. The clincher is that we have no choice but to see each other face to face this coming Saturday the 22nd for two important occasions — the first a funeral and memorial service at which I’ve been asked to say a few words(and he too probably) and the second our father’s 90th birthday party in the evening.
Hi Elsa,
I’m not sure if I have planets around 7 Cardinal — whatever that is – but it seems that I must given the fall-out.
Elsa,
Pluto as per my natal chart is 09 degrees libra. Will I be affected ? I am a Gemini with a Scorpio rising. I felt the mercury square Uranus Pluto today for sure and past two days.
I love this site. I do use the ask and it is given principle and I want to lead my life with astrology. I have already spewed out anger this week. Will try And control it. Look forward to your next newsletter.
Ugh… didn’t know what to expect with this particular astrology, but found out pretty quick on the 19th! I’ll preface by noting I’ve got Sun at Libra 8 (4th house), Pallas at Cancer 8 (2nd house), and Eris at Aries 10 (10th house). I moved some electronic files on our server and there was a miscommunication about it, apparently… and one of our partners went *ballistic*… called me out within hearing of the whole office (it’s a small office, thankfully). Sudden death of the ego, you got that spot on, Elsa… I’m feeling pretty bruised and broken about the whole thing. I’d signed up several weeks ago to return to college part-time anyway, but this incident was apparently the Universe giving me a harsh wake-up call to say that this career path is no longer viable for me. I’ve been in my current profession for almost 25 years… and I’ll be 50 next week, too, btw. I’m having a lot of trouble keeping up with the pace of change in my life since Summer 2010… I got married and moved house earlier this summer, as well.
Oops, I meant to say my Pallas at Cancer 8 is 1st house. Which is even more ouchy, IMO.

I have a lot set to go down at this time and a 5 Cancer sun. I don’t really know what to do but to be ready for shocks and to accept them as a part of life.
