Interesting view of the trines – so so, they dont rock the boat. Well I think its still much more nice to cruise then to rock heavy waves, my dear.
Some astrologers say, the trines show what you have done very good in your last life and the squares show, what you have still to learn. And if you got a lot of squares, could be very good to, so you choosed a lot of lectures ones and for all, to get rid of the problems – and cruise:o)
The best explanation I found till now is that the two planets of a trine act like two kings who are friendly and helping the other.
I have a kite in the water signs and earth signs, and i noticed that I can`t do much with my big water trine, like being creative and accomplish something, but i have to learn to deal with jealous people because I am who I am.
It is not always positive to have a big trine, because the energy is to subtle, and easy to work with.
Hmmmm. I’m not sure if I agree with the Trines=Exams you have passed and Squares=Lessons to learn. I think that might apply to synastry, maybe… But in natals I have seen too many charts that are loaded with trines and these people do not appear to be any wiser or indeed kinder than those who have a really challenging chart with alot of squares.
Reginald Kray and Rose West both have grand trines, what did they do very well in a past life? Have they regressed? You could have two kings friendly to each other yes, but what if these Kings are plotting something nasty together. It doesn’t mean the results of this trine are good.
What got me thinking about the trines are not all they are cracked up to be, was in a quote in Robert Blasckhes book. Volume IV – Relationship Analysis.
Talking specifically about the Grand Trine here:
“CEO Carter Wrote:
Such a configuration was considered evil by medieval writers and unfortunately this view appears to be not without foundation. Often the fortunes seem to be greatly involved in those of others both for good and evil, and the character may tend to weakness and lack of moral fibre” -The principles of Astrology 1925.
I’ve got a water grand trine (Sun in Cancer, Jupiter/Chiron in Pisces, Neptune in Scorpio) and it’s a delightful recipe for being busy doing nothing. It flows round, and round, and round, being all deliciously emotional and sentimental and kind and caring and never getting a damn thing done. It’s taken me years to realise that – I’ve just relaxed back into it. It’s like a very comfortable water bed. I’d stay in it for years.
I’m now firmly waking up to having Pluto in Virgo at the point of the kite (opposite Jupiter/Chiron) and seeing what blasting, volcanic creative energy I’m capable of. I’ve started painting and some of them scare me. Pluto’s opposed my Sun, and it’s now trining itself, and there’s no getting away from it. Pluto is the way for me to harness all that swirling watery stuff in the trine and get it OUT THERE.
I can totally relate to you Jan, as I too have a grand water trine. (Moon/Mars in Pisces, Asc/Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus in Scorpio.) I listen to music a lot, easily drift off into a dream world, find it so hard to focus. On the upside it does make happiness and contentment come easily, even for no apparent reason I will start smiling and feeling at one with life. I think that becoming conscious of Pluto is great for getting real about things, as is developing Saturn. This is true even when they make no actual aspect to the grand trine, as in my chart, although that makes it harder to make the bridge.
I think I have the same problem! I think it helps if you search for people who represent the two opposite points of the kite (the sighns and the houses), and be around them much, because then you can feel the energy of the great trine.
I did that and now I understand much more about the energies. But in your case it is the sun and not the moon, so you have to undertake action and see who you are, much less than feel.
I was born on august 5 1966, at 4:30 in the morning in Dordrecht, the Netherlands Europe.
And I also discovered that people with a kite in their horoscope create problems to learn.
i want to know that the candidate who’s dbis `17.6.77 is mangalic or not? if his marraige is possible with the girl who’s db is 17.12 81. pleas inform me in my e-mailid
Hello Marina,
I keep hitting a particular kind of triangle that involves a square, a trine and a quincunx. Do the Hubers make mention of any significance attached to this triangle?
Thanks!
Belated reply, sorry I just found this. I was half way between Oz and the UK I think when you comented. Hubers call this a learning triangle, the conflict is created by the planets in square, the quincunx is the adjusting and problem solving and the trine at the end is the solution.
Love your take on natal squares. If you include the short list of main asteroids, my husband has 24 squares in his natal chart! People are kind of blown away when I share this, often ask, “How does he deal with that?” I’m not certain, but I see that diamond quality that has come slowly over time. At just 45, he’s one of the most responsible humans I’ve ever known. He’s serious, sober, and has major integrity. In the 20 years I’ve known him, I’ve seen him relax more into that tension he carries. I can relate to everything you’ve shared above! It makes me love and understand him even more. Thank you, X
That’s really great to know Xenia. I really do believe this to be the case with squares. They age REALLY well, as do Saturn aspects. 45 is a good age for the chart to start really gelling, after one had been through the Uranus half return and the “mid-life” kundalini crisis. They don’t say “Life begins at 40″ for nothing.
Personally I have battled all my life with my very tight Pluto/Uranus square to my AC. At age 45 I am finally feeling the positive side of it. Works well for an psychological (Pluto) Astrologer(Uranus)! Oh and I forget, Chiron is exactly opposite Pluto/Uranus also…So it’s really a grand cross to the AC/DC .
I felt it was time squares got a make over. They get such bad press! Plenty of hugely successful people with T squares and grand crosses prove otherwise.
Ah ha! I too feel the wisdom of the Square! of course when I was 20 it was the curse of my life in every respect and dished out more than anyone should have to deal with at that age. However, I think my saturn square serves me well now. I’ve noticed how many people utilise their squares – its like the grain of sand which forever irks the oyster produces the pearl.
I get a sort of wry satisfaction watching people who coasted along on trines tring to deal with the alien territory of the square… its looks like a prison when really its a castle.
- oh – saturn squares Jupiter, moon, venus, sun, mars, pluto. I just love my castle!
Marina, thanks for the square love (comments)! I forgot too that I have Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto, Asc all squaring my Sadge MC. Hmmm, let’s see how this plays out. I’m almost 42 and have about 6 more months of my Uranus opp.
Hi Marina
I have Black Moon Lilith at 26 Scorpio in the first, opposite Algol at 26 Taurus in the seventh. What do you make of this opposition?
Thanks for your insights
Fixed stars cast no rays as they say so only conjunctions are counted. Some people do think the hard aspects could, Robson being one, but if I was going to consider them at all I would possible say oppositions to the Sun and the Moon if any. Although I think Lilith is important as an archetype, she is still not a planet, much less a luminary. She is highlighted in a chart if she is in tight hard aspect to a personal planet, an angle or a Behenian (Magic) star. 1st house is pretty potent though the1st 10 degrees of it. You have to put Lilith in perspective. So quite honestly I wouldn’t worry about Lilith opposite Algol at all.
Thanks Marina, that makes sense. I was just interested as I’m really diving into the stars and asteroids at the moment – love your site!
Many years ago I remember hearing Richard Ideman’s take on quincunxes. It was the 70′s and one didn’t seem to hear much about them except “adjustment”, sixth house one up/ one down type of relationships between planetary energies. He proffered that they were actually quite intense and attractive between people in synastry, a kind of mutual fascination.
As fate would have it I have now been married 28 years to a man whose Sun is exactly quincunx mine, our Venus’ quincunx by one degree, our Mercuries by six and our Moons are both quincunx each other’s Suns !
The fascination is definitely still there, there has been a tremendous amount of grit/irritation (to put it mildly !) and now the pearls are being revealed although there were times that I despaired we would ever truly understand each other.
Thanks for that Kris, Jamie’s Virgo Stellium is pretty much quincunx most stuff in my Aquarian stellium.
Bring on those pearls.
Our Moons tightly quincunx each other and boy do we feel it at times. It was helpful and timely to get this on quite a quincunxy day for me.
28 years?! Lovely
Oh and love your site btw !
Have you ever checked out the dwads between you and Jamie ? My man’s Moon and mine are square on top of all the other quincunxing, tho not too long ago I discovered his Moon is in the Sag dwad (my Sun) of Cancer and my Moon is in the Taurus dwad (his Sun) of Libra.
I wager you two have a strong composite to withstand/contain/complement the dynamic synastry. In ours the 7th house Sun trines Saturn/Neptune and there is a tight sextile between Moon/Mars.
Ah the divine intricacies of the universe !
One of my spiritual teachers once said the fastest way to growth is to partner with someone completely different from oneself…”relationship is the Bodhi tree !”
Ah…just saw your composite…kick ass !!
Hi everybody! Before I didn’t knew a thing about grand trines, t-squares, etc… and all i do was stare at this particular red lines in my chart…and BOOM! I found that it was a Grand Square! am i cursed?
Hi Chapeu. we have not written about the grand square yet. Till then, here is something you might find useful:
“The pattern formed by the “grand cross” can be identify as the first architectural structure of places of collective service. “Hospitals” where both a need to pay tribute to the Sponsor or Patron, and to heal the body and the spirit were met. The first Hospital buildings were designed in a “Cross -fashion” : four isles converging in the middle in a perfect Cross-shaped pattern. In the middle of the crossing an alter was built, so that the priest could perform rituals both propitiatory and worshipping. These rituals could be viewed by patients placed at the four arms of the cross.
The energy of the “grand cross”, in order to be handled positively, needs to include the most complete surrender of ones personal ego-structures for the amelioration of the collective. When this energy is not well managed it can cause inner tensions that could seriously affect the mind.” Elida Natalia Marchisone
Information on the highly misunderstood quincunx aspect:
Quincunx is Latin for 5/12. The quincunx was a Roman coin, five twelfths of an as (our dollar). More importantly for us though, the Roman quincunx was pattern, a formation, as shown in the diagram of the dice below.
The Roman army used the quincunx formation to arrange their miltary units in battle. It was extremely effective. The front line (two dots on the dice) made up of teenagers and young men would throw their spears, then fall back, allowing the men in their prime (middle dot) to advance through the gap. The old men (two dots at rear) would only be called through if needed.
One unit can pass through the two other units seamlessly. Two passing through two would be chaos. Can defend attack from flanks and rear using same principles.
this is very strange, when i am doing something important like writing, or drawing, and I really have to concentrate, i draw this sign on my hand, and I always wondered what it meant.
Someone told me that it meant the four walls with a person in it.Solitude.
I have Roman ancestors, could it be I have a deeper connection with them then I think?
My name meant money (Salt) in the roman army.
Marina, I like your comment that squares “age REALLY well.” With a grand cross in fixed signs and houses (Moon/Saturn, Mercury/Pluto), my early life was a painful struggle. At age 45 I started a new career (didn’t know it at the time) and now 12 years later am successful and well-respected in my industry. Of course, Saturn trine MC helped, too.
Thanks for all the info you guys are giving with this archive of aspects!
Can’t wait to see what you say about moon quincunx mars… I have always been thinking about it and now I got saturn square the moon sextile my mars. So gaining some wisdom about it still.
Will look out for when you write that post..
Have fun and enjoy!

What happened to moon saturn? Also – any comment on the significance of one planet being earlier by degree than the other? And the weight of each planet? You can tell I have moon saturn conjunct! In that order. Thanks for your site – I just love it.
