A grand trine in a chart?

Ha! Interesting... Harry Potter had a fire grand trine similar to mine. I guess I'd be in Gryffindor:

Teresa - It doesn't seem like you have a grand fire trine. In element yes (leo, sag, aries) but in aspect (10deg.+/- from 120 deg.) it' doesn't seem likely . In aspect it is your tenth house venus/mars to your fifth house neptune that makes a trine. All that seems too wide and weak to make a grand trine to your Jupiter in the first. Additionally your Jupiter makes a square to your venus/mars by aspect.
Experienced astrologers please correct me if I am wrong.

I have two if you include my MC

Weirdly my two are opposite one another almost creating a perfect Star of David (check out my pics)

My time of birth is not exact, there's about a five minute leeway either side so this star of david could be exact, it becomes perfect about 3 minutes later than the time i've specified.

Let me know what you think!

Hi, Teresa,

Jupiter in Aries in the first
Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo in the 6th
Moon in Sagittarius in the 9th

When I was growing up, understanding abstract concepts came easy. In school, and elsewhere, I would comprehend the essence of what was being taught right away, and so took it for granted. The problem started when there was something I didn't catch on to easily.....a technique of some kind, or converting a science experiment into numbers and formula. Then I was at a loss because I was so used to things coming easy that I didn't know how to proceed if I had to work hard to understand something. When I came to college, and ran across something I just didn't comprehend, my first reaction was to dropout, and I actually changed majors my freshman year because I ran into a course I just could not 'get'....and I knew I had to take three terms of that subject.

Eventually, I woke up, I guess, and realized I was being lazy-brained. If it didn't come easy, I had been avoiding it. I went back to school, took some pre courses, went on to get straight A's in that course, and the two that followed it.

That was a turning point, I guess, because while I still am kind of lazy brained, preferring stuff that comes easy, I no longer back out when faced with something that requres hard work to figure it out. (Interestingly, it also awakened a love of research in me that had only been peripherally there before that.)

What aspects my Grand Trine? My Jupiter is squared by Uranus in Cancer in the 4th; my Moon quincunxes Uranus; and my Venus semi-sextiles it. I suspect that in part my mother was an enabler, encouraging me whenever she saw my mind at work, but coming across with a 'don't worry about it' attitude when something didn't come easy to me. (Why do I say my mother? Well, she was an Aquarius with Sun conjunct Uranus, so I'd say at least in my chart that the 4th house was her.)

"Grand trines are supposed to signify luck," Oh yes, and the ability to overcome obstacles and crisis.

Sad thing, at least in my experience with four Grand Trine possessors, is they run into circumstances which require those very things
Best, or worst example (depends on how you look at it) is a lady who:

Lost her biological family early, was adopted.
Had polio, and spent months in an isolated hospital unit.
Had her family wealth destroyed in High School.
Surprised a burglar in her home, and took a beating - twice.
Had cancerous cells in her breast, resulting in a radical mastectomy, with implants.
Implants faulty, had to be redone.
Had two divorces.

The list goes on for pages. She's still going, and generally still smiling. "My life's not been boring!", she says.

I can see two possible grand trines in your chart, Teresa.

I see grand fire trine possibly
lilllith
mercury + mars
neptune + moon (by association)

grand earth trine possibly
Nnode+saturn
DC
chiron + sun

I wonder, do you feel either earthy stability/strength or passionate zest for life or something related to those planets there? (The energy would likely be highly modified by the parts forming the grand trines if they "count" hehe)
I know that most people wouldn't count DC or lillith or both but it doesn't seem that there are widely accepted rules for these and I feel the effects of angles and asteroids in aspect in my own chart as far as I can tell.

I think people tend to get all caught up in the possible symbolism of chart "geometry", but it's kinda silly, actually.

I mean, being blinded by some "grand"...whatever figure, you tend to overlook other important aspects. Well, personally, at least, I haven't found chart "figures" to indicate any sort of..."fated ease", or luck, or success, or whatever.

It also depends A LOT on the planets involved.

Just curious: has anyone ever met a person, or seen a chart that has a star of David formation?
