In astrology, the pattern that forms in three planets in a chart at the same distance is considered a grand trine. These patterns form an equilateral triangle. Astrologers believe this shape foster confidence, creativity, as well as flow and harmony.
Examine your chart and see if there is a huge triangle across it. Try to determine what signs and planets are in it. When there is a grand trine on your chart, every planet is trine to each other, and they are often in the same element.
The Golden Triangle
Some astrologers refer to the Grand Trine as the Golden triangle. It formed when two planets or three signs are 120° apart. A grand trine consists of three simultaneously occurring trines with every three planets 120° away from the others.
According to astrologers, a grand trine indicates confidence, self-assurance, optimism, and creative power. It provides the birth chart owner with a general sense of protection due to inner faith and hope.
What is the significance of the Grand Trine?
It is often considered that the grand trine makes the birth chart owner passive. Successful people often have challenging squares and oppositions. In contrast, the Grand Trine may result in a charmed life. Such lot may keep people from developing self-discipline. In the absence of self-discipline, it will be harder for the individual to learn life lessons and overcome obstacles.
Astrologers believe that the Grand Trine is exceptionally harmonious. There is little need to have external manifestation and creation. Because of this, the Grand Trine is the symbolism of relative spiritual inertia.
But there is an exception.
Astrologers believe that if one of the planets enters into this configuration and forms a square aspect to another planet, this tiny square will act as a release for the energies that are locked in the Grand Trine.
The critical thing to remember is not to take the good luck and harmony the Grand Trine provides for granted. Never allow your contentment to turn into complacency, or you will lose the chance to grow.
Planets
Another thing to consider when you have a Grand Trine on your chart is which planets are involved. Astrologers believe this power trio’s symbolic archetypes will join forces when a Grand Trine is manifested. Please think of the grand trine as a frame that expands the power of what lies within it.
Elements
When there is a grand time, it can be any fire, earth, air, or water elements. Because of this, a person may be mainly watery, or fiery, earthy, or airy. These elements become one circuit with particular planets shaping how the person’s life and character will play out.
Every element rule different qualities and personality traits.
- A fire grand trine is all about inspiration, creativity, pride and, in some cases, self-absorption.
- An earth grand trine will be concerned with worldly wisdom and an instinct for having prosperity and bounty. It is also concerned with sensualism and artistry.
- Air grand trines are all about ambitious thinking and planning. It thrives in intellectual curiosity, detachment, as well as social engagement.
- A water grand trine has a vivid inner life as well as intense feelings. They are looking for intimacy and sentimentality. These individuals have a strong artistic drive.
