Venus and the Grand Trine: May 1, 2008

April 28, 2008 — inspiredastrology

Venus trines Pluto May 1, 2008 @ 3:44:34 AM EDT
Venus trines Saturn May 1, 2008 @ 6:19 34 PM EDT

There is a Grand Trine on May 1. It includes Venus — trine Pluto — trine Saturn.

This is the same as the Grand Trine of April 20– which instead of Venus, included the Sun and Mercury as the 3rd point of the triangle. (The trines are the darker blue lines, sextiles are lighter blue.) So this Grand Trine including Venus is a continuation of recent events, with a new theme.

The change of April to May this year is a special moment. The Moon in Pisces will create a quick Kite to the Grand Trine as the early Pisces Moon opposes Saturn (stationing Direct) in Virgo. The distance we feel, and any sense of lack and alienation can also be part of a greater spiritual awakening, a deeper look at ourselves and how we interact, how we give, what we expect, and what we get. It is our choice, whether to hold on tight to feeling bad or to begin a process of learning to relax, release, and center ourselves. Being responsible now means being centered, not overreacting emotionally, keeping it calm so you can think clearly at all times; looking beyond blaming others and accepting our responsibility/ability for things to flow smoothly.

With Venus as part of this Grand Trine to Saturn (as it stations Direct) and Pluto, you may find yourself working in a way that is focussed and concentrated, and possibly alone. It can be an ideal time to do creative work that draws on your inner self and accesses your deep intuitive creativity in a way that is disciplined, relaxed, and precise. Take your time.

The Grand Trine with Saturn stationing Direct comes at time when it is time to get serious about your talents. How ARE you going to market yourself? Exact, what are the steps? There’s no need it ALL alone, but you have to take the first step on your own– without blaming anyone else for the results. This may not be easy. If you are feeling and projecting hate, you will feel the hate coming back to you, very strong during this Grand Trine configuration– so strong it can be debilitating. However— you can consciously choose LOVE over hate, and breathe LOVE into the mix, sending and receiving more LOVE. What you send out, LOVE or HATE, is recirculating now.

This can be a good time for thinking seriously and practically about making major purchases or investments. The investments you make now are likely to be long-term and relatively safe, but you may have a strong yearning to beautify and improve things from the bottom up. If you’re not sure, a trusted professional may be able to guide you as you take things apart and put them back togeher, even better.

In relationships, this can be a time you want to get deeper, more seriously and spiritually. What is the purpose of your relationship? Is there a commitment, and if so, is it deep enough to bear the realities of living every day? What can you do to improve and understand your sexuality on a deeper level? This is a time you can re-generate a relationship. But the commitment has go both ways.

You can stretch it to call this a Kite to Neptune-North Node. A KITE occurs when one of the planets in a Grand Trine has a planet opposing it. The opposing planet then also sextiles (60 degrees) the other 2 planets in the Grand Trine. Neptune sextiles Venus and Pluto and opposes Saturn (or it did last year). This is a wide sextile (6 degrees) and out of sign because it’s separating and moving out of orb. Usually, aspects are between signs of the same element. However, the Moon passing through early Taurus on May 4th, the same day that the North Node and Neptune are conjunct, not only lengthens the time the KITE is in effect, it makes this KITE more influential, if subtly.

When an aspect is out of sign, it is a few degrees into the next or previous sign. Counting by degrees apart, it is a sextile aspect (60 degrees apart). Yet, the planets are not in the same element. In this case, the Grand Trine is in Earth. Neptune and the North Node are conjunct in Aquarius, an AIR sign (a perfect KITE would include a planet in WATER opposing one of the Earth sign planets). Out-of-sign aspects can make any aspect less potent. It can also give it more perspective which can give it a notable influence. Since Neptune rules oil and Venus carries the theme of money, we can see that the price of oil has the support (sextiles) to rise. So does everything Neptunian. Including people with strong Neptune placements in their charts.

This Kite is an old story. In this Grand Trine chart, the Kite is based on the separating opposition of Saturn to Neptune. It was exact from August 2006-June/July 2007. So this is old business reappearing. With the help of the Grand Trine, perhaps we can figure out more about sustainable business practices that benefit everyone. Or, we can find ourselves stuck in a rut that keeps going round and round.

Neptune is also conjunct North Node as the focal point of a KITE. If you have faith, you just might meet someone who upgrades and sustains your life in some crucial way. This is a time to delve into your spirituality, regardless of the price or lack of funding.

When the Sun and Mercury joined the Saturn-Pluto trine to create a Grand Trine, Mars was approaching an opposition to Jupiter. The Moon was Full. The energy was fast-paced, which can be challenging for an Earth Grand Trine that includes Saturn and Pluto, both slow and thorough movers. So you seem to spin your wheels, trying to make things happen, for real.

As Venus enters Taurus and joins the circle (the Sun and Mercury have moved past the Trine), it can be time to slow down and add some financial reality and clarity to your manifesting formula.

Feelings can get intense this week, especially if there’s something you deeply want and see someone else enjoying, while you feel denied the same pleasure or success. Or perhaps you feel a pang of jealousy when your loved one has any affectionate feelings for another.

Current Grand Trines do not make this an easy time to create change in your life. No matter how much you say you want change, the hold of the status quo is compelling. Even if you have complaints, you can be comfortable in your situation, or have more fear of change than of continuing, despite the parts you don’t like.

Limitations have a purpose, which is why we encounter them. And what makes us feel limited? Shame. Some shame is healthy. Most of it is toxic. And the result of too much shame is self-sabotaging patterns that keep you stuck. So every time something positive happens, somehow you ruin it. In astrology, psychological patterns are represented by patterns like Grand Trines, T-Squares, Grand Crosses. These patterns are compelling. They can keep us stuck in ruts that feel natural, yet we suppress our talents, our thoughts. Why are we afraid to spread our wings and show our beauty? Because many of us are afraid that we’re going to do something “stupid” that works against our best interests.

So what if that’s true? What if you shared and were rejected? What if you really do still have more work to do? What if you need more practice doing something you love? We may have to push ourselves further to get the results we envision. But that just means there’s still more of ourselves we can explore, more gifts we can develop, enjoy, and share. As long as you refuse to grow, you will keep repeating a pattern, no matter how much you complain about it. It’s not complaining that changes lives. The resistance you encounter is your unwillingness to change. WHY? Because change always involves some adjustment, which may not feel immediately familiar or comfortable. We’d rather be miserable with what we know than uncomfortable with what we don’t. We can make other choices.

If you’re serious about changing or improving anything, you will have to make a commitment you can stick to, and keep doing it. What can you do now to attract more of what you want? And if you get it, what will you do with it? Having an intention and a plan can help in your effort to attract your goals and success.

If you can visualize it, you can attract it! Even if that seems to be in slow motion for now.

Today’s quick Kite, and how it keeps on going

April 22, 2008 — inspiredastrology

As the Moon transits Scorpio (every month), it creates a fast-moving WATER Grand Trine, with a KITE to Jupiter in the early hours of April 22.

If you can tune in, you can find a way to be of great service. Perhaps in a way that is legendary.

If you are open to the emotional problems of others, you can feel the full weight of the world now. Anyone with anger or other issues may want you to share in their emotions, perhaps to be the one to blame for their bad feelings. And if you’re susceptible, you can take in their negativity and believe it’s your fault. Yet, we all have a choice. We can let our negative emotions carry us away and hide out till it passes. Or, we can stay in control of our emotions, observe them, note how they feel in the body. We don’t HAVE TO react instantly to what we think is felt, even if it is negative. We can try to stay aware. And that attempt itself can help to dissipate the urge to react impulsively.

This is a Grand Water Trine with a Kite to Jupiter in Earth-sign Capricorn. The result of well-handled emotions is strength, wisdom, a larger perspective, compassion. And a good laugh.

During this season of Grand Trines, there’s a KITE to the angles every time the Grand Trine aligns with the Ascendant or Midheaven. That happens 4 times a day, every day until early May. Currently, it’s exact around sunset and sunrise, noon and midnight. This is a sign to get things done! Catch yourself in your excuses and get past it or change it. Energize your values! Or make careful plans to do it ASAP, and keep at it. This is a strong indicator that work doesn’t have to be “hard”. What if you did something that expressed your talent? How can you start to integrate that more and more into your lifestyle. There are significant, obvious, opportunities happening every day.

ps. if you think i write this only to you, i write it to myself first. we are all evolving. hopefully.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, April 20

Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon oppose. The Moon is in Mars-ruled Scorpio. The Sun is in Venus-ruled Taurus. This makes the rulers of the Full Moon Venus and Mars. And planets Venus and Mars are currently in a challenging square aspect that includes Jupiter.

Grand Trine with a Kite
There is hope! There is a Grand Trine that includes Saturn trine Sun-Mercury trine Pluto. Both Saturn and Pluto sextile the Full Scorpio Moon, creating a Kite to the Full Moon. This is sounding better!

The meaning of a KITE formation is assured good fortune. Yet, not everyone will enjoy supreme good fortune. Who will? And how?

Anyone who can get in the flow with whatever it takes to succeed. There is finally an outlet for your drive to work at your talents and attract the success you want– right to you.

The location of the Full Moon in your birth chart, especially the house ruled by the Moon, shows where you may receive additional benefits when you focus on the practical realities of achieving your goals.

This Grand Trine with a Kite can make us very successful– if we’re willing to take responsibility and not blame people or situations. If you had nothing to do with what happened, how can you change it? Or improve it?

When we stay positive, we can be resourceful and find better ways of making more money.

You can attract the success you want– directly to you. The caveat is that we can become obsessed with the material possessions our success affords. We can direct all our energy towards getting more and collect possessions that we don’t really need, or want.

The main part of the Grand Trine is the year-long trine of Saturn to Pluto. At this time, you may realize your life purpose. And the next question is: how are you going to achieve it? Thinking about it, being 100% positive about the results, is a good way to vision your goals. But this is an EARTH Grand Trine that includes serious heavy-weights Saturn and Pluto, with the Sun in Taurus. This is the time to be practical and set goals. And you can set goals more easily if you know your priorities. Not everyone’s priorities are the same. This Full Moon at 0 Scorpio can reveal the best way for you to work towards your goals, not the cool coverup that will help you continue to pretend to be doing “just fine”. Or living on autopilot.

The KITE to the FULL MOON in Scorpio shows that what is normally hidden can become public. This is a FULL MOON after all! The light is shining brightly on what we may rather keep secret. Yet, it’s time for spring cleaning, which means finding and removing the dust, darkness, and debris. We can reveal the fear for what it is, instead of pretending it’s not there and blaming whoever is convenient in the moment, whether it’s a partner, child, boss, employee, friend, relative, bad driver, or neighbor.

What do we keep hidden? What we think others think about us. And that degree of internal stress is a killer. Literally. But it can be released. You don’t have to carry the judgments of others who do not care to understand what has brought you to this point. It is easy to judge someone– our egos love any opportunity to put ourselves above someone else. Yet, any negative thought increases tension, apprehension, paranoia, stress. It adds up and it doesn’t feel good.

Yet— there’s a KITE. We can feel great! If– we’re willing to stop judging, stop taking on the negative judgments of others, and lean into what you’re really good at doing, your talent. If what you pursue is YOUR choice, you will have energy. Even if you’re doing the exact same tasks. If it’s not your choice, you will feel a lack of energy, a sense of drudgery. But this is helpful. It’s telling you this is not your flow.

The State of Mars
Scorpio’s personal ruler is planet Mars. The influence of this Full Moon in Scorpio is revealed by the condition of Mars in the Full Moon chart. Mars is in Cancer, part of a T-Square, and in mutual reception to the Full Moon in Scorpio. Mars is also trine Uranus, bringing something wild into our lives.

Mars in Cancer is currently square Venus and approaching a an opposition to Jupiter (April 24).

As in the previous New Moon, the Moon and Mars are again in “mutual reception” (in each other’s signs). The Moon is in Mars ruled-Scorpio, Mars is in Moon-ruled Cancer.

The effect of the mutual reception is that the planets become interchangeable. This puts Mars in the place of the Moon. Mars, as well as the Moon, is at the focal point of the Kite. It also makes the Moon part of the T-square, integrating the Kite with the T-Square. This is the time to step up and start getting things done.

The mutual reception gives Mars more focus. What you concentrate on, you can achieve. If you feel obstructed or prevented from doing what you know you need to do, you can start to feel irritated, angry energy rising slowly within. This is a signal. You can observe without immediately reacting. You can resolve to realize how far you’ve come in mastering your emotions during this Full Moon. And this can help you to see beyond past limitations.

The T-Square
T-Squares are made of 2 squares and an opposition. Squares and opposition are considered negative because they represent resistance. Yet they also give us reasons to strive, help us to build, and give us momentum. Venus in Aries is at the center of this T-Square– square Mars opposing Jupiter. The pressure to be social is ON. Connect from a distance and close up.

But why are we feeling so driven to socialize? If you are working too hard and trying to get your sense of self-worth from others, you may not be compatible with the people you attract now. The perfect partnership you envision may not exist in the way you imagine, at least not without some effort. And jumping into what seems to be a great relationship may be overlooking possible conflicts of interests.

If you’re just in it for what you can get, you may not come across as being sincerely friendly or caring. But if you really do care, you can interact in a way that creates energy that is so lively and attractive, it encourages people to cooperate.

If your hope is to get more for less, you can get bought out for a lot less than you’re worth, or make an offer that is lower than “market value”. Whether it’s a job or your home, if you (feel you have to) jump to make a quick deal, you can get undercut in self-worth and price. Usually, we have the option to stop, assess, take a deep breath before making a decision. But this is a Mars-Jupiter opposition, so we can be VERY eager to move on something — yesterday.

Venus and Mars square
Venus is quickly approaching a time of stronger influence. Venus in Mars-ruled Aries and squares Mars, the ruling planet of Aries.

Venus is cooperative while Mars looks out for #1. Working together, Venus and Mars can create a harmonious give and take. Working at cross purposes, symbolized by the square aspect, one can give, the other can disregard requests for cooperation and take whatever they can get. But being cooperative can work against you if you become dependent on others to make decisions. Venus also carries the theme of choices. When Venus is strong, there can be something you need to decide. If our choices depend on what we think others want, we can work against ourselves. When someone tells us what we SHOULD do, the feeling that comes up most often is anger. Most of us don’t like being told what we “should” do. So we don’t really want others to make our decisions for us! The solution is not to get angry, it’s to get aware. Living for what we think others think we should do starts to sound like an excuse, a fear of judgment for taking action.

So what does it matter if we send someone an angry thought? Because it wears the sender down even more than the sendee. When every thought is what someone else would or shouldn’t do, we are blocking our own access to thinking positively about our own situations. We are dwelling in bad energy and blocking what we CAN do to encourage better social interactions, more peaceful solutions, more harmony, more love and joy. And this is a KITE to the Full Scorpio Moon– an opportunity to transform our emotions. We can let go of negativity and resentments. We don’t have to hold on to being offended, hurt, wrongly judged. We can bless it and let it go!

ArtCharts Chart Tips
Rulerships: connecting the dots
Many people tell me they understand the basics of chart reading. They understand what it means to have a planet in a sign and house. But putting it all together seems beyond reach. It’s not hard if you know a few techniques.

Rulerships establish connections between planets, signs, and houses in a chart.

These are the houses, signs, and planets that are most-closely connected.

  • 1st house - Aries - Mars
  • 2nd house - Taurus - Venus
  • 3rd Gemini - Mercury
  • 4th house - Cancer - Moon
  • 5th house - Leo - Sun
  • 6th house - Virgo - Mercury
  • 7th house - Libra - Venus
  • 8th house - Scorpio - Pluto (Mars)
  • 9th house - Sagittarius - Jupiter
  • 10th house - Capricorn - Saturn
  • 11th house Aquarius - Uranus (Saturn)
  • 12th house - Pisces - Neptune (Jupiter)

And click to see artcharts Rulership Chart online

Seeing a Sun in the 5th house in Leo tells you that’s a strong Sun. Taurus may not feel as much at home in the 11th house as it does in the 2nd. Planets located in houses or signs opposing their rulership positions are often in what is called a “debilitated” or poor condition and don’t express themselves as easily or naturally as planets and signs in rulership positions. More on elevated and debilitated planets to come…

ArtCharts Good Timing Sale
The LifePath report is the only report that contains a section on house rulerships. It tells you where the ruler of each house is located in your chart and what that means. LifePath shows how the planets in your chart link to your houses, suggesting the kind of options you may have in your life.

In the Full Moon chart, Taurus is on the cusp of the 1st house, making Venus the ruler of the 1st house. Venus is in the 12th house, so the ruler of the 1st house, Venus, is actually located in the 12th house and according to LifePath Report it means that:

“Your outlook on life can be brought into balance by spending some time alone to meditate and recharge your batteries.
Avoid becoming your own adversary by falling into the “woe is me” victim trap. Spiritual philosophies that go beyond traditional orthodox viewpoints can bring revealing insights into your life and the meaning of it all.
You may identify somehow with large public institutions that provide a service to society, especially the helping professions.”

Grand Trine continues

January 18, 2008 — inspiredastrology

On Wednesday, the Moon made a fast-moving Grand Trine to Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn are trine in Capricorn and Virgo. And they are both trine Ceres in Taurus, creating a Grand Trine in Earth.

This Earth Grand Trine is about being practical and about honoring the Great Mother. This Grand Trine is about valuing the connections and relationships that keep you solvent, put food on your table, and pay the rent.

You can feel motivated to collect the materials and tools you need to build a more secure future. And you can do that by building on what is already there instead of reinventing the wheel right now.

This Grand Trine can find you running in circles to get as many things as you possibly can. And this can keep feeding on itself, and you can wind up spending a large sum on lots of stuff.

Or– you can make a commitment, put on blinders, and work towards a specific goal that has MEANING for you. If there is something you want to do that would benefit you professionally, now and in the future, this is an ideal time to take the steps, no matter how many, do it.

the Jupiter and Saturn trine (exact on on Monday, January 21) began almost a year ago, and Monday is the 3rd and last time they will be exactly trine. This shows a conservative trend, both politically and spiritually.

Ideally, you would spend some hard-earned money on tools, materials, and/or education that will provide opportunities for you, your family, and the world. You CAN do it! And you probably already know exactly what to do.

If you feel that you’re procrastinating, this Earth Trine can remind you that may be too comfy in your comfort zone to make a move that would further your growth and support your family. What opportunities are you overlooking because it would take too much time and seems too complicated? This is an opportunity to slowly, methodically, and thoroughly study, explore, and practice until you achieve a level of professional mastery.

in Love&Light,
Lauren

Happy Thanksgiving: have a Grand Trine!

November 20, 2007 — inspiredastrology

Happy Thanksgiving! Give thanks :-)

As the balloons float down Broadway, the Sun enters Sagittarius, the sign of generous giving and joyous living.

[Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, 2007 @ 11:50 am est]

The Sun usually enters Sagittarius on November 22, but the Sun does not always enter Sagittarius ON Thanksgiving Day.

So what will Thanksgiving Day 2007 be like?!

Filled with great opportunities!

The Sun and Moon are making an inconjunct (a/k/a quincunx) aspect, which means they are 150 degrees apart. Give and take may be equal. The person you give to may not be the person who returns the favor. That may come from someone else so don’t expect giving and receiving to be exactly equal.

The Sun at 0 Sagittarius is making a semisquare to Venus in its own sign of Libra. If your appearance is your main focus, it could be a sign that socializing is more of an OBLIGATION than fun today. If you feel stressed about socializing, socializing can become stressFUL. It’s not always easy or pleasant to let other people get too close for comfort, but today it’s time to be sincerely grateful. Give heartfelt thanks and enjoy the day, the good food, and the good company instead of focusing on the (irritating) faults of any ONE person. You may be “right” but overlooking the conflict can improve your own vibrations and make for a better day for everyone.

The start of Sagittarius contains 2 Grand Trines. One in WATER, the other in EARTH.

The EARTH Grand Trine is from Saturn to Pluto to Moon. The Saturn-Pluto trine was exact in August 2007, and will remain very close through the spring of 2008. On Thanksgiving Day, the Moon in Taurus will fill in the 3rd part of the trine to form a loose Grand Trine from the Moon to Saturn to Pluto. (As the Moon moves from Aries to Virgo, it will carry the energy to the Saturn-Pluto trine.) This is an “out of sign” Grand Trine because Pluto is still in Sagittarius, but as Pluto enters Capricorn in January and Saturn stations Retrograde, this trine will remain in effect through the Spring of 2008. And every month as the Moon transits early Taurus, there will be an EARTH Grand Trine. This can be an INDUSTRIOUS winter!

The WATER Grand Trine, that has been in effect all Fall as Mars and Uranus trine. And this week, Mercury joins them (see the last post on Venus and Mars this week). What messages are you receiving from your intuition?

Opportunities are knocking. But they may require a mastery of your personal power and the willingness to follow instructions AND take chances. The point is to be industrious and productive, even if you make mistakes. It may no longer feel like enough to just do something to satisfy your own interests. You may feel increasingly compelled to share, and this can lead to more detailed study and preparation. Yet, what once felt overwhelming can become a piece of apple pie.

Enjoy!

in Love&Light
Lauren

Venus and Mars: doing the tangled tango

November 18, 2007 — inspiredastrology

Venus and Mars are at it again! They are making square (90 degree) aspect on Monday, November 19.

This Venus-Mars square offers a way through the tensions of relationships, so your tango doesn’t get tangled in relationship goo.

If you feel like your giving OR receiving is out of balance, you can feel unappreciated, which can drain your energy and intensify any feelings of conflict. Before you end a romance, this SQUARE calls on each of to give more thought to WHY our relationships get out of balance. Are you both able to give? to receive? It’s not as simple as it seems. Both giving and receiving require being open to the other person and to your own heart. If you exist in a shame-based blaming relationship, you are not giving or receiving, you are staying closed-off by blaming the other person. Though joyless, this kind of lifestyle can seem very comfortable. Being open to giving OR receiving requires great strength AND great sensitivity. And that’s the balance Venus-in-Libra square Mars can show you this week.

Mars, currently stationing Retrograde, is part of a Grand Trine that also includes Uranus (and the Moon on Monday) and Mercury in the guest co-host seat for this week only, as Mercury trines Mars on Monday and Uranus on Wednesday. This is the 3rd and last time. Mercury made a trine to Mars before the last Mercury Retrograde station (September 26), during Mercury Retrograde (Oct 17), and this week (Nov 19) for the final time.

You can make fast progress now if you communicate your needs and ideas. If you leave your happiness to whether or not someone can read your mind, you can find yourself in a continuous disappointment loop. But this week, your ability to communicate can be exceptionally clear and persuasive. You can get things done quickly— just by using the right words.

Step one is to write. When you write, you clarify your thinking. If there is something you want, if you have a goal you would like to achieve, write it down. Thinking about it is a good start, but if you want to make it happen, start writing. Writing and communicating can help to balance you emotionally. Sharing is not required, but if you feel that you want to reach out, make new friends, and share more of yourself so you can grow, Mars-Mercury-Uranus in trine formation this week is the PERFECT time to start your blog or social-network page. Join an online group, participate in community events, join with like-minded locals. And if you’re not ready for that, start reading more, leaving comments, writing profiles, sending messages. Express yourself, make suggestions to the group. Don’t think everyone will agree with everything you say and think. They won’t. Yet, when you are yourself this week, magical things can start to happen, like your intuition can open up and give you just the right words of wisdom.

in Love&Light,
Lauren

Sun trines Uranus: electrifying a Grand Trine

November 6, 2007 — inspiredastrology

On Wednesday, November 7, the Sun trines Uranus, filling in the 3rd leg of the Grand Trine— Sun trines Uranus trines Mars. There’s a post about the Grand Trine below. Just reminding everyone that today, Wednesday, its influence can increase in a personal way. It can remove stress and make you feel electrified! This is where you get an opportunity to put some personality into what you’re doing, expose something personal, or find it exposed on UTube! Be wild, have an adventure, do something ON YOUR OWN– because YOU thought of it! It’s a great time to be spontaneously creative– you just may discover something very interesting!

Here’s Destiny & Decisions on
TRANSITING SUN TRINE URANUS–The Sun illuminates you and the world around you and this transit encourages self-discovery. There will be an air of excitement and suddenness with a heightened level of understanding about yourself and the world around you. It is a good time to expand your horizons and for the study of any technical discipline, such as astrology, mysticism and psychic phenomena. Very little that affects you is hidden from you during this transit, and you can be very much aware of who you are. You will be energetic and restless, so it is not a good time to relax. Use the energy to expand your life with new experiences and new encounters.

And here’s Sun trine Uranus from Starlight Solutions:
Creative license, spontaneity, improvisation, and discovery are stimulated now. This is a good time for any activity that requires you to experiment and think outside the box. Your freedom to express yourself in your own way is quite important to you at the moment.

This Grand Trine is created by the transits of the SUN, URANUS, and MARS. Since the Sun travels more rapidly than Mars or Uranus AND Mars will station Retrograde on November 15, the Trine between Mars and Uranus will not actually become EXACT until April 2008, yet Mars-Uranus will have an influence through Spring 2008. When any personal planet occupies the 3rd point, a Grand Trine will activate. More on that as Mercury (Nov 19-21) and then Venus (Dec) approach that point.

in Love&Light,
Lauren

Grand Trine: November 3 - 7 and beyond…

November 2, 2007 — inspiredastrology

The Sun is forming a Grand Water Trine with Uranus and Mars. Uranus and Mars will be trine through Spring 2008, and the Sun trining both Mars and Uranus can switch ON this stimulating long-term trine. How do you connect with others? how do you connect to the public?

Astrology books describe Grand Trines as endless tape loops. You just keep doing what comes easily, and often fail to make real progress. Grand Trines can indicate a tendency to do avoid things that are hard. But what’s wrong with leaning into what comes easily and makes you feel better? The Triangle in sacred geometry represents the balancing of physical and mind with spirit.

It can feel like it’s time to strike out on your own, yet making an impulsive move may not create any real change– at least until till next Spring. If your work brings joy and creativity to the world, shamelessly self-promote. But don’t get concerned if a seemingly strong tide of publicity starts to disappear as Mars slows in its orbit, preparing for a Retrograde station on November 15. What felt like a strong current fulling you forward can seem to subside— before it returns full force in April. Meanwhile, it’s time to give more thought to packaging, presenting, promoting, and publicizing your work. This long-term trine can help you to connect your ideas with the public. Do you connect or is your ego getting in the way? The goal is to feel confident when you get noticed by the public.

Mars and Uranus will be trine through April 2008. This is the winter to create networks within and without. If you want to connect more effectively with others, make the space within to allow yourself to receive and access subtle energy, instead of blocking it off with negative thoughts and emotions. Holding onto beliefs and emotions that make us feel worthless or hopeless is really not about what “she” said or “he” did, but about our own fears that come up when we think about how to go on, what to do next, how to solve a problem, how we can avoid a risk that is unavoidable. The trine of Mars-Uranus-Sun is about increasing courage, without bravado or ego, and for the greater good.
