"is yod and T-square involving chiron too bad?"

'Bad' is a difficult concept, Dipti. It is part of what you are.

T-squares are generally thought of as being negative and they can describe blockages and things that stand in your way. Any square aspect (90 degrees) is an aspect that goes from one point on the edge of the horoscope circle into the centre and then out again at a 90 degree angle. In time terms it shows the necessity to make a jump forwards or backwards in your life to overcome the blockage. I think of squares, t-squares and Grand Crosses as challenges. Without meeting challenges in our lives and coping with them, we do not progress as personalities or individuals. They provide an impetus to TAKE ACTION so they are ENERGISERS. Some people do not rise to the challenge or it defeats them. Others accept the challenge and try to overcome it and move forward. They turn what looks 'bad' into 'good'.

A yod is different. Any 150 degree aspect is a tension aspect which indicated dis-ease and can lead to illness. With a yod we have two inconjuncts linkes by a sextile. They indicate big issues in one's life which need to be worked through but they seem more to do with our attitudes than the hard events of a square or t-square.

I will try to define your particular yod and t-square as I read the chart and become more familiar with what it is telling me.

I find that Vedic astrology and older western astrology seems to think at a basic level of chart placements and aspects as being 'good' or 'bad' and that seems to me to give up on personal responsibility. I see the chart as a description of possibilities and challenges which we have to respond to and make the most of. I have to say that personally I feel vedic readings are more in tune with the Eastern mentality and philosophies of life and so it is difficult to match a Western astrology reading to an Eastern philosophy and mind-set, and vice versa.
