![]() Grand Trines can simply be too good and too much. The Grand Trine energy can take on a life of its own with the individual simply tagging along rather than being an active participant in life. While Trines can reveal where one's talents and comfort zones might be, Trines can also indicate where the individual might be lazy or uninvolved in conscious decisions. Grand Trines represent an opportunity granted with open and effortless flow of energy between the planets. The tendency of the Trine is harmony and flowing. Each aspect has its own highs and lows, and none are any better or worse than the other aspects. However, this wonderful reputation is not wholly deserved. Trines, and particularly Grand Trines, have a reputation for being positive and creative aspects. It is believed that a Grand Trine is, collectively, the purest expression of an element. Having a Grand Trine is similar to having a planet in a sign that it rules. The Grand Trine occurs when three planets are in the same element (Fire, Earth, Air or Water), while forming Trines to each other. There are always two sides to any story and very often the first thought you have regarding Astrological aspects may just be the opposite of what you originally thought them to be.Element and Receptive Configurations (Part 2) This process of thought also applies to the astrological measurements that are traditionally thought of as difficult or bad. There are other considerations when discussing Trines and Grand Trines but I think you get the picture, that just because you have an astrological measurement that suggests ease or good fortune, there is probably more to it than you realize. However, there is often the stimulation of new and exciting expressions within the identity that helps motivate those with this aspect to the realization of tremendous growth and change no pain, no gain. The individual is well engrossed and delighted with their concept of self sufficiency, not realizing the counter purpose this pattern represents. The defenses within the Grand Trine are a necessary expression for the developmental growth of the ego, though necessarily and inherently against relationships. The Water Grand Trine can be expressed as a closed circuit of emotional self sufficiency, not wanting to get emotionally injured again, “I don’t need your love” the Air Grand Trine can be expressed as a closed circuit of social and intellectual self sufficiency, with the fear of not being approved of or appreciated, “Say what you like, it won’t bother me” the Fire Grand Trine can be expressed as a defense or fear against being neglected or ignored, “You can’t tell me anything I don’t already know” the Earth Grand Trine can be expressed as a closed circuit of self reliance or not wanting assistance from others, “I don’t need your help.” Traditionally the Elements have been classified and divided into two groups Fire and Air as active and self expressive, and Water and Earth as passive and receptive. The four Elements of which I am speaking are Earth (in touch with the physical senses), Fire (excitable and enthusiastic), Air (intellect, communication), and Water (feelings and emotions). ![]() The Grand Trine can be found within any of the four elements, or combinations (also the Modalities). Think of the Grand Trine as an enclosed circuit of self sufficiency, expressed in a defensive manner depending upon the quality in which it is found. Then, there is what Astrologers call a Grand Trine, a combination of at least three or more planets connected by three consecutive 120° aspects, think the shape of triangle, you know, the kind that a cattle drive cook would ring to call all his cowboy buddies to breakfast or dinner on the dusty plains of Texas or the symphony whose musical member sits in the back row waiting for his/her one lone opportunity to contribute. This could be due to the environment they were born into or just laziness an innate quality for the Trine. More often than not, the Trine aspect is one that is never fully utilized by the person who has one. This view can be likened to the gifted artist or musician who has tremendous ability to express his/her genius, and either develops and uses this ability, or lets it fall by the wayside to waste. ![]() This perspective can be one of both a positive, or a negative one in and of its nature. There are many people, Astrologers included, who feel that the Trine aspect is a positive and well meaning one. For those of you in San Luis Obispo who follow Astrology and have a general understanding of it, you have probably heard of the 120° mathematical measurement known as the Trine aspect. ![]()
