1. A
t-square is a challenging planetary configuration
where two planets (or sets of planets) are in opposition
to each other, and each is also at 90° to
a third planet (or set of planets). The "focal
point" is the planet located 90° from
the opposition.
2. This could represent
a mother who was either emotionally distant, unavailable,
missing — or alcoholic.
3. A
grand trine is a triangular configuration with
a planet or set of planets at each point, 120°
apart. It is considered a great gift, astrologically,
but is often overlooked by the native.
4. To transpersonalize
means to commit yourself to a life of higher service,
thus positively channeling the powerful energies
in your chart to release you from their negative
expression in your personal life. "A transpersonal
process (can) imply a 'descent' of spiritual power
focusing itself through a person..."
