If you look more closely, you will find that there has been a fair amount of
activity in the sky at present (on a microscopic level). A brief diary of events
shows

22/9	Uranus turns direct
25/9	TSquare - Mercury squ Mars/Uranus forms
27/9	Neptune truns direct
28/9	TSquare breaks
28/9	Tsquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus forms
1/10	TSquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune (double TSquare)
3/10	TSquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune+Moon (triple TSquare)
4/10	Tsquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune (Moon leaves)
8/10	Kite - Mars tri Venus/Moon, opp Uranus+Neptune sex Venus/Moon forms
9/10	Kite - Mars tri Venus/Moon, opp Uranus+Neptune sex Venus/Moon breaks
11/10	Grand Cross - Sun/Moon squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune forms
12/10	Grand Cross - Sun/Moon squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune breaks (moon squ mars)
12/10	Tsquare - Neptune squ Sun/Moon breaks
13/10	Mystic Rectangle - Mars/Uranus+Neptune tri Moon/Venus+Pluto forms
14/10	Mystic Rectangle - Mars/Uranus+Neptune tri Moon/Venus+Pluto breaks
15/10	Tsquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus+Neptune breaks
17/10	Tsquare - Sun squ Mars/Uranus breaks

I'm looking at this series of event windows to see whether there is anything that
can be drawn from events of this nature. The things I am interested in are

o	formation and destruction of aspect patterns
o	retrograde/station/direct motion of planets, especially those that form
	parts of aspect patterns
o	sign/house ingress/exit
o	rulership changes
o	applying/separating wrt point of exactitude

What triggered this study was that there are cases where individuals experience
transits to their natal planets which are affected by greater implications. When
a transit is governed by, say, a 1 degree orb then it is possible to look at, in
the above case, the sun in isolation with respect to an individuals natal chart.
Sun transits aren't usually that important. Other planets, eg Mars opp Uranus +
Neptune, may not come into the transit orb at all, but they are within orb when
looking at aspect patterns, and hence must be influencing the energy of the sun,
which in this example is the focal planet of a TSquare.

If you consider the series of events show above. The sun is the focal planet in a
number of TSquares. All this energy is directed in the sign of Libra. It moves
from 2Lib on 22/9 through to 25Lib on the 17/10. Consider the following cases

o	5th house cusp at 10Lib - although debilitated by sign, it moves into the
	5th house which it naturally rules. We now have a change in emphasis for
	the sun around the 3/10. What effect will this have?

o	Ascendant at 10Lib - again debilitated by sign it moves into the first
	house and is exaulted by house position, another case of a change in
	emphasis.

I have been waiting for a nice series of events to occur so that I can see
whether there is anything to be drawn from event windows and have asked people
locally to maintain diaries throughout this period for later analysis. I would be
grateful for any information to assist in this study - events that occured
through this period which may be significant, however small, and birth details so
that the details can be cross referenced.

[ hope this makes sense - it has been typed in in a hurry - AG ]
