Astrology: How to deal with squares and trines

Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber
"The Square influences in Astrology are in reality the Sabbitarian periods of life, and governed by the law of 7. For instance 4x7 equals 28, which is the period in days that the Moon from birth invariably takes to return to the place it occupied when a human being is born.

This Moon motion is an epitome of the motion of all the other bodies in the heavens, each of which have their septinarian period in their own spheres and these periods are the squares.

They warn us to rest at such times. By resting we may overcome all serious effects of the squares. "Remember the seventh day (or period) and keep it holy." The system needs rest, not all of the system at the same time, but that sphere which the square affects, and not all of that sphere, but only such parts or matters as are governed by the planet that afflicts.

As mortals we are uneasy to get out of our orbits. The trine influences open paths to us of least resistance, and permit us to go therein, to the extent of our rope; at such times our will is free.

They are immediately followed by the squares, which cry us "Halt!" As willful and rebellious mortals we persist in pursuing our will-o'-the-wisp, and sickness or trouble surely follows. There is no exception to this law, but by peculiar placement of planets in the lives of some, there are planets in trine when others are in square, and these permit some people (deemed fortunate) to pass through planetary- conditions which others are not permitted to do."

"The stars in a sextile aspect are like two individuals who seek each other's love." 120 Aphorisms for Astrologers By Abraham ibn Ezra (fl. ca. 1140-1160, mainly in Italy and France) 1 Because the Moon is near the Earth and accelerated in its course, it increases the conjunction of planets by communicating its force to them without ever receiving any force from them; it transfers brilliancy from one to the other; it corresponds to the new-born in that its beams develop gradually until they are full, and afterwards it declines gradually until it is no longer visible and disappears from the world. That is why the ancients said that it influences every deliberation and the beginning of any task. If it is in its ascendancy and its circumstances are favourable, anything which one may start at that moment will meet with success, and contrariwise if it is in the unfavourable circumstances. They added that, for the asker, you should observe the ascending sign wit...

From classical antiquity throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even into the twentieth century, all the great names of western astrology, Dorotheus and Ptolemy, Masha.allah and Abu Ma.shar, Regiomontanus and Placidus, Morin de Villefranche, Naibod, Kepler, Tycho de Brahe, Cardan, Maginus, Argol, Gauric, Morin, Sepharial, Alan Leo, Kuehr and William Lilly have all used primary directions as a predictive technique. “The concept behind primary directions is that, in the hours after birth, the diurnal rotation of the celestial sphere brings the planets successively to the eastern horizon, upper meridian, western horizon and lower meridian.  The space in time between the moment of birth and the moment of rising, culmination, setting or lower culmination of a planetary body, converted to years of life at the rate of approximately 4 minutes of Sidereal Time to a year of life, yields a prediction which usually corresponds to a major life event consonant with the...
