I have a triangle formed by two sesquiquadrate aspects (135 degree) and a square and i was wondering what it is called. I can't be the first one who notices it right ...
It's called Thor's hammer:

As a general theme, Thor’s Hammer appears in the charts of individuals who exhibit a single-minded quality, an innate strength and the urge to survive. Activities in external life are a means to expressing an internal and unrelenting drive. The owners of the Hammer go the extra distance; they live life on the edge of the square and express the force in fields of endeavour and personal characteristics.
Even those who do not embrace particular activities are noteworthy for their typical self-confidence, capacity to stay the distance and readiness to grapple with life’s difficulties head on. This figure manifests in dedication to vocation, sometimes in political work, in sport, or activities that are challenging. There is a ‘stand out quality’ that makes the individual noticeable and, yes, there is a potential for fanaticism.
For some the Hammer is demonstrated as particular ‘giftedness’. For many it emerges in having ‘something to prove’. Resilience and staying power are marked in these people who rarely have ‘easy’ lives. A sense of personal power and the capacity to face challenges leads them to become either high achievers or frustrated fighters. Rebellion or non-conformist tendencies are often a feature particularly when the social planets are involved. Some fall from grace by taking things to the edge and putting themselves in either physical or social danger but regardless of the focus of the energies, the individuals are blessed with a gusto that cannot be squashed. When the going gets tough, they “pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and start all over again.”
The myth of Thor’s Hammer expresses the allegorical meaning better than any words I can conjure. Thor is the Norse god of thunder. He is the son of Odin and Jord, and one of the most powerful gods. He is usually portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard and eyes of lightning. Despite his ferocious appearance, he is popular as the protector of both gods and humans against the forces of evil. There is an obvious correlation with the Greek Zeus and Roman Jupiter in his characterisation, and we could be pardoned in assuming that Thor’s Hammer will characterise a Jupiterian motif.
The story goes that the hammer, named Mjolinir, never failed to achieve its purpose. It was equally as powerful as Odin’s spear, placing Thor in a position of equality with his father Odin. When thrown, the hammer always returned to Thor’s hand. Because of its potential destructive force, Thor was forced to wear an iron glove. Every time Thor throws the hammer, lightning flashes, it hits its target and returns to his protected hand.
Exploring the meaning of this, it seems that since the hammer was originally made for a superior god, those in possession of Thor’s Hammer should always ‘protect’ themselves against its power. They have been given a gift that is really meant for a higher entity and should use it with care! They should never forget that it came to them through the agency of the Trickster!
I believe Thor’s Hammer expresses a powerful thrust in the psyche that, without full understanding, can drive one beyond rational control and emerge as a dangerous tendency to go ‘to the edge’. It can develop a ‘mana’ personality that sees the individual pushing boundaries to the extent that they end up damaged in some way. Positively, it can develop into an exclusive talent that will not be repressed and often sets the individual on the path of the ‘role model’, or emerges as someone willing to give a great deal to humanity.
There is a price to pay when we play with the weapons of the gods. We have seen that only Loki, the trickster, manages to escape the fee.
Of particular interest is the chart of Christopher Reeve. Most of us are aware that he was a famous actor, spokesperson for the Actor’s Union, and played polo at championship level. The life changing accident on his horse that claimed his mobility is a graphic illustration of the use of Thor’s Hammer, as the transits at the time led to him choosing to take risks with his personal safety. After his accident, Reeves became a forceful public figure advocating stem cell research for spinal injuries. Note in the chart that both Hammers involve Chiron. There is little doubt that Reeves pushed the boundaries of risk-taking to extreme levels. He was both a gifted horseman and a highly competitive polo player who paid a huge price, yet survived to become a social role model. This is the gift of the gods.
