Other aspects to consider, during this time of year, are the T-Square. The first Fixed Square will occur on 01/07, between Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius; the Moon in Scorpio; and Mars and Uranus retrograde in Taurus.
The second event of this type will take place on 01/28, between Mars and Uranus in Taurus; the Moon in Leo; and the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius.
A T-square occurs when a celestial body (identified as a focal planet or apex), supports squares with stars, located in signs of the same modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable), which, in turn, oppose each other.
From the evolutionary point of view, the T-squares are dynamic or motivating aspects that drive the subject to move forward, despite obstacles and frustration.
In the specific case of Fixed T-squares (made up of planets in fixed mode signs), they generally warn about the risks involved in repressing emotions, and clinging (stubbornly) to the comfortable zone.
