Major Chart Patterns
The Lover Chart Type
If there ARE oppositions in the chart, the next most
important question to ask is whether there is a third
planet 90-degree to any opposition, what astrologers
would call a "T-Square" or "T-Cross." Of course, these
patterns can appear anywhere on the chart wheel, right
side up, upside down, and so forth. The key thing to
determine is the existence of an opposition, and then if
there is a third planet 90 degrees from this oppositional
pair.
If there is a T-Square in the chart of any kind, such as
the Grand Trine pattern shown here, then the chart type
you are looking at is that of "The Lover," or green-line
pattern. There are many varieties of the green-line
pattern or type, and these will be explained below.
