Note: I'm using the term Yod as Robert Hand defined it (not originally) in a text from 1981. I've recently seen a definition by Nicholas Campion that includes an additional point by adding an opposition along its length.
On the day of Cheney's surgery, the 24th, there are two Yods in effect as global transits: 1. Saturn (Leo) sextile Mercury (Libra) both quincunx Uranus (Pisces). 2. Jupiter (Libra) sextile Pluto (Sag) both quincunx Mars (Taurus).
One of these Yods hits Cheney's natal Uranus. Since surgery was involved, guess which one? Yod number two. Receiving a cut is typical with Mars and Uranus. On the 24th of September, Mars was less than 1 degree separating from natal Uranus. Mars will station and retrograde on October 2, passing back over natal Uranus. Getting cut is not all that can happen with Mars-Uranus, all sorts of fires to be extinguished can hit.
On Oct 3, a new Yod that points to Mars forms, involving transiting Mercury replacing Jupiter's previous position of the 24th, and Mars moves back to Cheney's Uranus. Mercury is a fast mover, so this Yod only lasts for about a day, afterward, the Moon joins Mercury on the 4th, triggering the Yod momentarily. On October 15th, transiting Sun once again reforms the Yod, this time transiting Mars is right on Cheney's Uranus, with only a few minutes of separation. There is a second synastry Yod formed that points at transiting Sun, and involves both transiting and natal Moons conjuncting each other at 3:31am, as well squaring the transiting Pluto leg of the Yod with Mars conjunct Cheney's Uranus. This can be seen on a 12th harmonic chart for that day.
During the latter third of September, Saturn applies to oppose his 6th house Sun -- it is also squaring his natal 9th house Saturn-Jupiter conjunction. He's feeling the pressure of restriction, nor is he able to work much harder with his deteriorating condition and age, he'll be melancholic and will be internally examining what has gone wrong.
Mars remains in retrograde until December 11, when it stations-direct and conjuncts Cheney's Saturn-Jupiter conjunction.
The stents he had placed in the aneurysm on September 24 aren't known to be long lasting near joints because of the movement and stress in those locations. Will there be issues with these stents as Mars passes back over his Uranus? Or might there be other issues, as the Yods and Mars continue to pressure Cheney's Uranus? Certainly, his health is deteriorating--and there's plenty of upsets in store.
