T-Squares Study

The T-Squares Study generates an event whenever three transiting bodies form a T-Square: two of the three are in opposition and the third is square (90°) the other two, within a user-defined pattern orb.

You can also create a T-Squares Study from the toolbar by clicking the Aspect Patterns drop-down button and selecting T-Squares.

Events Captured

A T-Squares event occurs when two transiting bodies are in opposition (180°) and a third transiting body is square (90°) to the first two, all within the user-defined pattern orb. The study reports the moment of tightest configuration.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a T-Squares Study contains the following columns:
