Last week we gained a purchase on the current astrology by drawing a picture for ourselves. This week we will start off by drawing two of them.

Welcome back from the re-boot weekend. What some astrologers have unfortunately referred to as the “climax” of the cardinal T-square. Let us take a moment and get some perspective of our own. Draw a circle on a piece of paper. Draw a cross inside the circle just like last week. Remember that the four parts of the circle are the seasons. Remember that the lines of the cross are where each season begins. Finally, remember that motion on the circle is counter-clockwise unless it is retrograde motion.
Start with the top part of the cross and write “Uranus” and “Jupiter”. On the bottom part of the cross, write “Saturn”. On the right side of the cross write “Pluto”. Look at it. That was before. There were four. Uranus and Jupiter in the first degrees of Aries. Saturn in the first degree of Libra. Pluto in the first degrees of Capricorn. Arranged in the shape of the letter “T”.
Right now the Leo Sun is below the left side of the cross. About a third of the way towards the bottom. Don’t bother to write that down, just visualize it. Remember that it takes a year for the Sun to go around the circle. Now, go back to the bottom of the cross and write “Mars” right next to “Saturn”. Then there were five. That’s the “after” that started late last Thursday. Now, keep in mind that the apparent motion of Mars is much faster than the other four. In a few days, the red planet will have moved on and we will be back to the “before” T-square with four planets on three of the cardinal points. Looks more like a restart than a shutdown from this perch.
