GRAND TRINE ASTROLOGY FULL

This should be an intensely mental and verbal configuration that should love debate and intense discussion on a variety of topics. The Air Grand Trine - I call this “the vortex of ideas.” Air is about ideas on the mental plane and the fluency with which those ideas are communicated. The people around the native, not so much. The native with this configuration needs to “temper” their self-expression in order to not “burn bridges.” The native who has this grand trine will generally feel great about it. Fire can be warming and comfort giving or it can destroy everything around it. The choleric temperament is connected to ire, anger, violence and rashness. Fire is considered of the “choleric” temperament because of its ability to destroy. The Fire Grand Trine - Fire can take many shapes and forms, from a smoldering ember to a raging forest fire, so self expression, impulse and self-inflation have to be controlled for this configuration. Earth is about that which is tangible, so, at best, the native will use the supplemental energies provided by the grand trine to manifest tangible results. The Earth Grand Trine - The earth is either fruitful or fallow, so production and results will be foremost in the mind of the native with this configuration. Needless to say, with a real grand trine all the wheels are on and the vehicle is triple-loaded and ready for warp speed. I propose from now on that we refer to out-of-sign “grand trines” as “Grandiose Trines,” not fully the real thing but aspiring to be included.

The impression they gave of it, was like a wagon with a wheel missing Not quite the full expression, but should still be referred to as a Grand Trine. I mentioned my opinion about the necessity for a complete “triplicity” recently, and someone disagreed with me using their out of sign “Grand Trine” in their own chart. Planets, including the outer planets, have the personal agency to effect events and outcomes. As I have previously mentioned, asteroids and planetoids, nodes and angles have no agency of their own and are governed by the planets who rule the signs they occupy. I am also of the opinion that only planets should be included in the configuration. My opinion is no out of sign, which would mean out of element, aspects for grand trines.

This implies a certain virtuosity and versatility bestowed upon the native by the grand trine.Īs a result, I am of the opinion that, in order to have a Grand Trine, all three planets (or more) involved in the configuration must be expressing the element in its totality and representing a cardinal, fixed and mutable sign in that element. From this we can see that the grand trine puts each element on display for public view in the totality of its expression: cardinal, fixed and mutable. In other words, the element of the grand trine matters and the triplicity needs to be complete in order to be considered one. Thus, the idea of a triplicity consisted of the three zodiac signs that made up the totality of the element. The triplicities refers to the four elements: fire, earth, air, water, in combination with the three qualities of sign: cardinal,fixed and mutable, which gives three zodiac signs per element. These houses are 120 degrees away from each other. As the leading angle, the 1st house is the strongest house in the chartto be placed in, the 5th was called “Good Fortune” and represented children and gifts, and the 9th house was called “God,” and was connected to royalty and kingship. The trigons are the “corners” of the chart: houses 1, 5 and 9, and were considered auspicious houses to be placed in.

Ancient astrologers talk about what are called “triplicities” and “trigons.” On the opposite side of the aspect spectrum is the opposition, which is the aspect of no and can’t.Īstrology has spent a lot of time in consideration of the importance of the number 3 and integrated much of the philosophical, geometrical and metaphysical knowledge into the astrological system. The trine is an aspect of cooperation and working together harmoniously, as planets that are in trine to each other do so. In essence, the trine is the aspect of “yes” and “can,” as is the sextile on a smaller scale. Receiving a trine aspect from a benefic planet has always been considered a boon.

It has always conveyed a meaning of ease and ability. The trine has always been considered the most beneficial of the aspects. Grand Trines attract a lot of excitement, confusion and wishful thinking.įirst of all, lets talk about the trine.
