There is another cat here, but I&#8217;ve always felt like Squeaky Bird was <em>mine<\/em>, somehow. His delightful chirping would always cheer me up as I chased him around the house. At any time of day or night (but usually between 4 and 6 AM), he was always there for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But now, Squeaky Bird is silent. Last night he squeaked his last.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I attempted to inform my roommates about this situation (in case they could help), but no one awoke&#8230; no matter how much I meowed or dug under their closed doors. I felt abandoned and alone, and am still processing the trauma. I have been quiet and withdrawn all day today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My question is this:<\/strong> I know that of late <strong>there has been a T-Square in effect&#8230; specifically, Jupiter in Libra opposite Uranus retrograde in Aries, and both squared by Pluto in Capricorn.<\/strong> I realize that this has been happening for at least a week or so now, and I know it has another week or so (at least) to go. But, as a student of astrology, I have to ask: all of these transits have been challenging of late, <strong>but is it possible that last night&#8217;s Moon in Cancer joining that T-square to form a Grand Cross was, so to speak, the straw that broke the camel&#8217;s back?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear BC:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s how it works. Now don&#8217;t worry little buddy&#8230; I&#8217;ll get you a new toy soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"mailto:astrologyshow@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">Questions about your birth chart, or astrology in general?
