Sunday, MAY 29
Mars aligns with Jupiter in Aries, a sign that it rules, exciting our sense of enterprise and desire to take action. We want to reach beyond our usual bounds. It’s a time when we possess a wealth of enthusiastic energy, and we’re ready to take chances. Our goal is to expand. We feel strong, positive, adventurous, and energetic. We are competitive and decisive, and we readily rise to a challenge and actively pursue our goals. There is some danger, however, of overdoing. We may be overly confident, boastful, or pushy with our opinions. Or we can take on too much, overestimating our capabilities.
With Mars and Jupiter in Aries, independence and self-assertion are in focus. Our desires are big at this time, and the details will need to follow later. This transit encourages our initiative. It’s the first real push since Jupiter entered Aries early this month, and it helps get the ball rolling.
However, a New Moon will occur tomorrow morning, making today better for winding down. The Moon continues its transit of stable Taurus until it moves into connected Gemini at 1:23 PM EDT.
The void Moon occurs from 10:11 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Gemini at 1:23 PM EDT.
The symbols are described here.
I plan to take another look at a stellium in Koand’s incomplete natal chart. It is accurate but incomplete because I don’t have access to a verified birth time.
The following about Koand’s T square is shared from here:
A T-Square astrologically is a red aspect pattern formed between three planets or points in a horoscope. Red aspect patterns are called ‘achievement figures’, as the aspects they form are charged with energy. The energy tension allows people to use it in life, be it in work, to act, or to achieve goals. Red promotes action, achievement, the attaining of goals, and demonstration. These people are very active and many work by the motto “act first, think later”, and not the other way around, which means that mistakes can be made very easily.
Achievement Triangle
A T-Square is a triangle consisting of two squares that are joined by an opposition. This red triangle is the classic achievement figure. Also called an Achievement Triangle 1, the purposeful cardinal impetus (red) finds its clearest expression. The apex of the triangle and the planet that lies there indicate where the achievement is directed and which planetary principle is used.
While in the case of the red square, work is carried out continuously and progressively. In the case of the T-Square, the energy is paralyzed again and again. A person with a T-square should complete their work quickly and successfully so that they can reset again afterward. After a short or long break, they can go back to work with renewed vigor.
A person with a T-square produces a greater output per measurable unit of time than someone with a square. With a square, the performance is regular and constant and hence takes up more time. The dynamic of these two figures is therefore very different.
Of course, the square seeks security, constancy and symmetry, while the T-square’s motivation is more flexible and more dynamic. Such a person would like to reach their goal as fast as possible. Someone with a T-square can work like mad and when they are ready, they move onto the next job assertively and highly dynamically.
Energy is stored and bottled up in the opposition. The energy tension produced by the opposing pressures is discharged along both squares and in fact from two sides towards one point. In this way, the apex of the T-square (where the squares come together) forms the power point in which achievement is produced and transferred into work by the discharge of tension. an unsuccessful energy transfer leads to rigid states of awareness; one cannot change and the same mistakes are made again and again.
Holy Grail
Empty Leg
One more thing to note about T-square is the empty leg, where if a planet were to be in a natal chart, would complete a grand cross aspect pattern. If you have a T-square in your natal chart, any moon phase or planet transiting the empty leg will highlight the areas of life where you feel emptiness, that something is missing, or where you overcompensate for the attention you give to the focal planet.

The following describes a stellium in Cancer and it is shared from here.
With a Cancer stellium, you’re a super nurturer, a mother hen, and you can give a lot of yourself emotionally. But your emotions can bat you around at times, and you may feel at their mercy. It’s important for you to learn how to manage your emotions in healthy, positive ways and not go overboard with them or bottle them. You need to find something that allows you to channel your emotional energy into action.

The following describes the concept of a stellium and it is shared from here:
If you're juggling the complex mixture of planets in a stellium or triple conjunction, your life story isn't the same as most people's you know, though the broad outlines might be similar. What makes you different is the cast of recurring characters – or their types – and the repeated story arcs. A story arc is an extended or continuing storyline. Explore the story that keeps replaying itself and that cast of characters. It may have minor variations but so often works out the same as the last few times. Later, we'll look at how transits trigger those episodes and yet provide windows to change how they play out.
Understanding past story arcs is an important tool for growth. Reliving the past may seem like a nostalgic trip down memory lane – or a bad nightmare – but noticing themes, and coming to understand why they happen, spurs growth in using a stellium well. When you perceive how your thinking, beliefs, expectations, and self-defeating behavior set you up for an unhappy experience, you're less likely to let it happen again under new transits.
The sequence of planets in the stellium tells the story
The sequence of events in the story arc unfolds repeatedly in your lifetime during various transits to the series of planets in a stellium. This pattern often becomes a theme. The players involved may be the same each time, or they may look different on the outside – like characters in a play wearing a mask. Unless you've learned new ways of relating since the last time the sequence was triggered by a transit, the relationships can turn out the same way.
On the other hand, knowing how to use the positive potentials represented by that same series of planets can help you make better, more conscious choices. Analyzing things you did right and consciously repeating those strategies is as important as learning from your mistakes. By identifying times you used that series to achieve something worthwhile, you can look ahead to coming transits to find future intervals for progress.
The timing of new events and conditions in the areas of life signified by the stellium's house placement is shown by transits from the slower-moving planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) to the planets in the mix. As a transit touches on one planet after another in the stellium sequence, it heralds a series of events and developments related to the house, planets, and signs in the combination.
The order of natal planets sets up a recurring story arc – for better or for worse. What happens – and how you respond – during transits to planets early in the combination sets the tone for later ones. Therefore, how you master challenges signified by the first several transiting aspects affects the outcome of later ones.
Transiting planets affect the same degrees repeatedly due to the apparent direct and retrograde motion of transiting planets. Studying the transits will help you narrow down crucial periods in your story arc. Typically, Saturn aspects a natal planet for about eight months, while transits from slow-moving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto last several years.
Why the first and last planets in the combination are crucial
All stories have a beginning, middle, and end, and so do all stelliums. Perhaps the most crucial pieces of a stellium are the first planet – known as the lead planet – and the last one. The lead planet is the one in the earliest degree of the zodiac. In a stellium with Mars at 4° Cancer, Jupiter at 8° Cancer, Moon at 9°, and Uranus at 10°, Mars is the lead planet and Uranus is the last. If a mixed sign stellium contains planets at 28° Sagittarius, 1° Capricorn, 2° Capricorn, and 5° Capricorn, the planet at 28° Sagittarius is the lead planet. The last planet will be the planet at the latest degree in the stellium – 5° Capricorn in this example.
The lead planet is automatically the first affected by new transits that represent periods of challenge, change, and even crisis. It's like the first responderat the scene of an emergency – the first police officer, firefighter, or EMT, for example. What that person does upon arriving has a huge influence on the outcome. If first responders make the right moves, it helps stabilize the crisis, but if they make the wrong ones, the challenge is harder to overcome. Backgrounds of first responders may or may not suit the task, but they cope heroically until better-qualified helpers arrive, then step back unless they're needed. The same is true of the lead planet in a stellium.
When you encounter new people or situations in matters described by the stellium's house, observe how the part of you represented by the lead planet responds. It establishes ground rules and creates the structure for how the other planets in the group operate. It affects the functioning of the entire stellium, setting the tone for dealings with other people involved. The less desirable qualities associated with the lead planet affect people's first impression of you and can have a negative effect on the mission's outcome. On the other hand, capitalizing on the strengths and assets it represents increases your chances of resolving the situation to your advantage. Conscious awareness of that planet's pluses and minuses can help you discover more successful tactics.
That part of you triggers an automatic reaction to events or changes in the status quo. That reaction is a defense mechanism. An undesirable response doesn't have to be the automatic one, however, once you become conscious of it. If the lead planet were Venus in a sociable sign like Leo or Libra, you'd be open and welcoming to new people. With a well-aspected Mercury as lead, you'd communicate freely about yourself and your mission and would want to know all you could about the newcomer.
If it were Saturn, you might react fearfully and close down while you figure out how to protect yourself. Suppose Mars is the lead planet. It represents the urge to be first, to be a pioneer, to lead, and to win. It's happiest as the lead planet, but aggressive outreach isn't always an ideal approach. Suppose it's placed in uncomfortable signs such as Scorpio or Pisces, or it makes a number of difficult aspects such as conjunctions to Uranus or Pluto. Then your first response might be an aggressive or defensive one to ward off conditions you perceive as a threat.
Taking responsibility for your part in the situation – even if it's passive acceptance of mistreatment – is a key to getting on a better track. Blaming others rather than looking at your own contribution won't change anything; it just fixates you in the pattern and adds more layers of frustration and unhappiness. Even if the scenery and props are different, the feelings, urges, and events involved are often eerily similar. When this happens, compare the current situation with former events, and you'll start to see connections. If you recognize compulsive, self-destructive behaviors, seek out healing tools to change the pattern.
With Saturn or Pluto in the lead, you're likely to react to new people or conditions as a threat and close ranks to protect yourself, the matters of the stellium's house, and the mission. If Uranus is the first planet, you're generally on the leading edge in your areas of interest. You may be an innovator and trendsetter who some people may find exciting. The old timers in that field, however, may find you disturbing and regard you as a maverick or troublemaker. (Words like upstart and gadfly come to mind.) They may even see you as DANGEROUS!
Here, in summary, are the reasons the lead planet has such a strong influence:
It shows the first contact that others make with the stellium and its mission. It reveals your first impulse in approaching matters of that house.
It's the first planet to be hit by a transit, and then the others follow in sequence.
Therefore, this first response alerts you to changing conditions in the house matters.
How effective that response is in dealing with the new situation makes a difference in the outcome of the mission. If it's typically ineffective, you might want to devote a healing project to the qualities that planet depicts.
Why the last planet in the series is so important: understanding and managing the qualities described by the last planet are nearly as crucial as learning how to handle the lead planet well. The responses and actions it suggests wrap up the experience and aim for closure, therefore greatly influencing the outcome.
Combined with the nature of the transiting planet, it suggests how the current episode in your life story may end. It doesn't initiate and structure the action the way the lead does – it's the clean-up crew that handles the aftermath once the series of transits is over. Slow- moving transits to the last stellium planet can be in effect as long as three years, so coming to terms with things that happened during transits to the whole series can last a good while. After all, adjusting to a life-changing event – whether positive or negative – may take years.
Suppose Mars is the last planet rather than the first. If you're not using the qualities that Mars symbolizes well, you might become aggressive in a self-protective way and alienate the other players, leaving all concerned with bad feelings. By digesting the experience and learning from it, however, you can make better use of those qualities, come away energized, and lead the other players in decisive action. If it's Venus – the peacemaker – instead, a major goal during the wrapping up process would be to create closeness between group members in the face of shared adversity.
Having Pluto as the last planet can be tricky. If the person has worked hard to shed the effects of the difficult history it often signifies and is now using Pluto's energies well, then transits to Pluto can show a time of great healing and rebirth. It can even be a time when they recognize how their experiences can give them the ability to bring healing to others with similar backgrounds. If, however, they're still mired in the difficult expressions of these energies, then the situations portrayed by the transit can take a turn for the worse at the end of the series. Familiar patterns involving power struggles, betrayal, and lingering resentments can be evoked.
Within a given story arc, so much depends on how well you're using the energies that the lead and last planet symbolize. If you don't like the result, make a focused effort to change the ways you're using them, and things will change for the better. Nobody with a stellium can juggle all those different energies perfectly. Remember, this is a lifetime learning curve rather than a four-year university degree. However, the insight we gain from regular self-evaluation is a boost to growth. As time goes on, it helps us learn from our mistakes and become more and more successful in our missions.

Here is a little more about the stellium planets in their constellations:
With Jupiter in Cancer, you are the one who plans family events, makes everyone feel like they’re part of something special, and always has a plan for getting together. You love to play host.
You tend to be very loyal, but this loyalty can sometimes lead you to suffer in silence when one of your closest friends is hurting you by disloyalty or betrayal.
You don’t hold a grudge, though; you believe that tomorrow is the beginning of a new day with fresh possibilities, and so you love beginnings and new expressions of your relationships. This also accounts for your nature as an artist - you appreciate the unknown.
. . .
The Moon rules our moods, and when it is in Cancer, we immediately feel more sensitive and nurturing towards those around us. We also feel the need for safety and security–especially financial security–and as such, our money behaviors shift.
The Moon in Cancer has a powerful influence on the home and family. In Cancer, the moon plays an important role in family interactions and their own private world.
The moon is a highly sensitive “planet” and can feel the emotions of her children strongly. She is the universal mother and is associated with instinct, emotions and feelings. She represents your internal moods and reactions to life’s experiences.
. . .
Uranus in Cancer personalities live life in an unexpected way, using their intuition to sail through the various emotional storms that they inevitably encounter.
Many of these individuals live ordinary lives and have no idea that they are being guided by rather unconventional influences.
They exhibit old fashioned values, set in their ways. These people are also very down to earth, traditional and family oriented.
They tend to be more of a conservative, quiet type then Uranus in any other sign. They will go out of their way to help a friend or loved one with some issue that they may have going on as they like helping others with their problems.
