This is the week of the grand Earth trine with Venus/Jupiter in Taurus trine Mars Rx in Virgo (with 16 Psyche Rx and 433 Eros Rx) trine Pluto in Capricorn. In a word, it’s copious.
From Etymology Online: Copia . . .”an abundance, ample supply, profusion, plenty.”
Think of the cornucopia, the giant basket that was filled with fresh food that never ran out. Whether it is wealth of love, work, play, production, artistry, family, insights or enlightenment you focus on, the grand Earth trine makes it ‘tangible.’ Think of the signs involved:
Venus and Jupiter in Taurus represent sensuality, persistence and steady, nurturing growth. The seed is planted in the rich earth. Germination.
Mars, Eros and Psyche in Virgo represent adaptability, fine details and the development of skills, understanding and connection. Flowers bloom and are shared.
Pluto in Capricorn represents determination towards success and the powerful intentions via ambition and vision. The harvest is gathered and celebrated.
The traditional reading of Jupiter to Pluto has always been ‘wealth’. Add to that the archetype of relationship that both Venus and Mars, Eros and Psyche portray and the idea of wealth turns to shared abundance. It’s a time to aim your sights high, appreciate Mother Earth and her bounty and share the dreams, vision and successes with those you love, or are learning to love. This is not an isolating aspect. It’s about connections and living life to the fullest.
By transit, Psyche together with Eros, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto can coincide with awareness and appreciation of the abundance we already have. From a state of appreciation (start with clean, running hot water and work up from there. Or even start with ‘I’m alive!’) we expand out into the world to discover the ‘copia’ all around us. It begins with a single thought, a state of mind.
But it’s a tine . . .
Nobody’s forcing us to expand. We get to choose if we open to the flow, or not. To activate this transit, celebrate the areas of life represented by the natal Earth houses and planets. Not sure where they are? Here’s the tutorial to help. If you still aren’t sure, or want to discuss what’s going on, post your chart in the comments and we’ll all have a look. Remember, just appreciating what already IS is enough! Start there.
Note: Mars, Eros and Psyche are retrograde during this transit, along with Mercury Rx. Welcome the new awareness with ease and take definitive actions after April 14. More on Eros and Psyche.

Pingback: Grand Earth Trine, Psyche & Eros « The 11th House
Hi Kim! I’m thrilled about this grand trine!
In my chart I have a couple interesting things going on in my 12th, 5th, and end of 8th house, although I’m not sure how to interpret it.
One especially interesting thing going on is the Jupiter Venus (…and lilith) conjunction in Taurus conjuncting my natal Juno in the 12th. When I see any major hits to my juno I can’t help but to think “soulmate”
Then the mars psyche Eros conjunction in my 5th.
Then Pluto transiting at the very end of my 8th house.
Any insights?
I’ll post a link to my chart:
http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=astro_2gw_01_je_g.3128.18183.gif&res=100&va=&cid=mobile-c1jfileCWFjrK-u1314545664
Hi Jenny, I can’t see the chart (the link has expired) but I would take this grand Earth transit and, especially with Mercury and Mars Rx, listen. That means quiet the mind via walks in nature, meditation and states of reverence, and tune into the body. Tune into your environment,. Tune into your feelings. Record your dreams (12th) create and play (5th) and share energy and resources (8th). The more you activate the houses involved in the trine, the more this ‘copious abundance’ can flow.
Does that make sense? Think of something related to 5, 8 and 12 to do ever day! .
“Nobody’s forcing us to expand. We get to choose if we open to the flow, or not.”
I love this Kimmy! I often forget this as I can get a little scared about being open but it is thrilling when my world expands.
Such great advice, thanks Kimmy!
Glad you like, BG. My motto, don’t be afraid to bloom!
Hi Kim, just found this site and was interested in any insights you may be able to share. Someone told me i have two grand trines, in earth and water. For some reason this chart doesnt connect chiron. On the 13th I’m moving back home to hawaii after 3 years living in a community… any insights would be greatly appriciated. Aloha

Sontuoc,
Technically, in the traditional sense (planets only), you don’t have any grand trines. You do have trines though, and if we count the newer planetoid Chiron (which I do), you have a grant trine in Earth between Chiron, Mercury and the Moon/Eros. To be a grand trine, three elements must be involved so you have Mars trine Uranus in the Water element, but nothing in Pisces so it is not a ‘grand’ trine. Does that make sense?
You can read more about aspects here : http://www.falconastrology.com/astro_loa_101.htm
I like students to learn to spot aspects without the lines drawn at all. That way they get a feel for the connections organically. That’s just my preference, but the point is, you decide if planets are in aspect, not the computer programs (I think astro.com has the option to include Chiron in the line drawing.)
How wonderful to be moving back to Hawaii. That is one of my favourite places in all the Earth! I can say the timing is great because you have Mars going retrograde through your 4th house of home, family and cultural inheritance, so ‘going back home’ couldn’t be said clearer.
This activates your Chiron, Mercury, Moon grand trine and as you keep making choices that match your true goals and authentic core values, things keep getting better and better!
Aloha to you too, and kiss the ground for me when you land@
Thanks for providing some clarity here and the link too. I definitely want to learn more about astrology. The idea of spotting the aspects without the lines is brilliant in so many ways.
Home, family and CULTURAL INHERITANCE is absolutely on point. I’m moving back to hawaii mainly to continue training with my Taoist teacher.
I’ll help send some love to the land for you.
Much love and Aloha
I got a star of David going on now.
Feels good and I’m wallowing in it!
Inspiring, Melissa! Wallowing in the goodness is a rich and earthy action! Thank you!
Hey, no worries! I am like my cats… self-spoiling. It’s a beautiful thing and just keeps getting better and better! Hugs to you!
Did you get the part about TWO sets of grand trines going on with my chart now? One is indeed in earth and the other in water. I do stop a lot to bask in the beauty of it all, of course. But I also have a large agenda of things that I am working on. AND… I have a HUGE vacation ahead later this year, with the love of my life. We can’t wait to meet you! xx
God bless the world, it’s so GLORIOUS! http://youtu.be/f8uc7c0HZuc
Yes, Two grand trines! And HUGE holiday plans! Woot!
Hiyya Kim,
Need you : / Please explain,

what on Earth is going on here : )
With gratitude for your spirit, your kindness & expertise, Immaculada
Love & Light, Namaste’
Hi Imma, that link didn’t come through, Try again?
Hi Kim,
This grand trine takes in Jupiter conjunct Venus in the 10th and pluto in capricorn in the 6th trining my natal Venus in the 2nd in Virgo with mars conjunction. What does this mean? Major career changes happening hopefully for the good?
Thank you
Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline, The idea is to move into the area of life activated by the grand trine, Think of it like a waterfall. There is this beautiful, powerful energy but it’s not touching you unless you go look at it, swim in the pools, picnic there . . . appreciate.
So if it is your 2nd, 6th and 10th, the natural Earth houses, notice what you like about your career, your day to day routine and the ways and means you support yourself. Review your goals there and get some appreciation mojo happening!
Hi Kim! First a note of appreciation that is long overdue … I feel your asteroid analyses have brought to light a new stratum of astrology for me … so many new layers of personality and patterns to unravel and play with and wonder about. Thank you for your inspirational work!
Transiting Pluto crossed into my seventh house a while back and is squaring my moon in Aries and conjuncting my sun for oh, a couple of years yet … lighting up a natal t-square of two … I wonder if this trine might not introduce a new level of acceptance and surrender to the course that Pluto takes me on? Just my two cents. Would love to hear from you if you have any gems to throw my way
I’ll post a chart. (I hope this works)
or maybe
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UT007.gif[/IMG]
In any case, many thanks for your work – Liv
Hi Liv,
Thanks for the kinds words. I’m glad the asteroids are lighting things up for you! (I have Jupiter exact on your Asc btw so this expansion makes sense!)
Yes, the image link leads to your chart a la cut and paste. What I like here is that you already have Uranus/Pluto opp Moon and square the Sun in your natal chart. This is your territory! You know the terrain and have spent your life creating ways and means to express the authentic you. I think id does represent new understanding, new transformation and new ways to own your power and creativity. Just notice your one-to-one relationships more. Pay attention any mirrors you see, or realizations of projection. Check in to your home and family vibe. Appreciate what you love about it and move on from what you don’t. Change isn’t a foreign country to you! Also get ready for new 11th house experiences, new friends and like-minded others.
Go to the houses involves. Engage the planets/asteroids there and appreciate what’s going your way.
This grand trine takes in my 1st, 2nd (cause mars crosses the cusp in the midst of it) as well as 6th and 9th, whilst Uranus and Merc jumping up and down in the 8th.
My cold is stopping me logically thinking through this, but my experience of late has been frustration with waiting for job things to happen and avoiding finishing off a major piece of study and money shortages, with small random $ wins. I’ve been somewhat successful at managing the stress of all that, the best bits have been short trips here and there with the hope that when I come back it’ll all be sorted (like if I take myself out of the picture it’ll all come together, Uranus in my 8th I’m waiting for my random outside action thanks).
Of course things haven’t happened in my absence and now we arrive at grand trine time just when I am at the point of ‘oh well back to it then’. All my saturn says I make my own dramatic changes, my mars retro lesson has been to let go of my time frame expectations. Mars rising in Leo does want happenings now, so does Gem sun really. I guess it’s now about using Pluto in cap to get into the work so Jupiter in 9th can do his thing (it is a phd I’m at the end of after all). My SN, POF and Jupiter are all in taurus as well, from 11 to 13 degrees. It’s like it’s all there for the taking. Shame about the head full of snot.
Wow, so you’re finishing a PhD on your Jupiter return? Did I get that right? I love the Jupiter return and the start of a whole new 12 year cycle! This bodes well. Also Jupiter and the slow mo Venus will be heading for your Gemini Sun. When it does come together, I think you will be well pleased!
Yes, and I have Jupiter in the 9th conjunct MC.
I’m very much looking to Jupiter and Venus moving into 10th (I have Venus and Merc in Taurus in 10th plus 10th house Sun), I defn feel the need for a whole new cycle and some 10th house recognition (saturn sq saturn/asc is reinforcing that too I think)
Mars retro stasis has me frozen to the spot and chomping at the bit, must constantly remind myself the reward is on route. At least I’ve seen the back of the Neptune/Sun sq for a while so hopefully clarity shall return soon.
If its not one thing it’s the other hey.
Beautifully sunny day here today though, giving much thanks for my gorgeous sky/tree view from my couch!
Dear Kym,
Thank you for your inspiring insights. I was hoping you ( or anyone who is interested) could take a look at my chart and perhaps help me understand what I am working with. I have been experiencing some quite sudden and upsetting circumstances and I would love some guidance on how to transform in to a more positive reality.
Thank you so much
Jac

Hey Jacqueline, it can be useful to run those charts with transits for a current date so you can see what outer planets are doing. It’s one of the extended chart selections.
From a quick look at your chart you’ve got Neptune moving to square your Sun, and Pluto moving off conjunct your moon. Both big transits. Plus Saturn conj your Uranus and Uranus opposite your Pluto, both which may be stirring up some change energy.
Cafe astrology is good for general descriptions of transit aspects and may help you pin point relations between transits and your experiences.
Hi Jac,
The chart has expired so I can’t take a look. Thanks Shell for jumping in!
Hi Kim,
I am going to post again…hopefully with some transits this time, because I would love your insights
. And thank you Shell so much, it really helps to have someone shed some light on my situation.
Thanks!
Jac
http://www.astro.com/tmpd/c1ilfileGToA5H-u1264384810/astro_24gw_01_jacqueline_summers_2012314.14403.45626.gif
Jac, this is great for me because though our charts are quite different, we both have the grand Earth trine activating our 1st, 5th and 9th houses! Me giving you some ideas is a bit of self talk too, and I haven’t taken much time to pause and reflect (and take my own advice!)
So the Mars, Eros and Psyche Rx in the first house component of the trine says reflect and review our drive, the way we express energy (including sexual energy) and how we connect, Are our goals authentic, current and lighting us up right now? If not, what they heck are we doing them for? It’s a time to reconsider choices and maybe alter course.
Pluto in the 5th house is transforming creative self expression. If the inner child needs attention/healing, it’s going to happen. This is a long term transit and it works deeply over time. Relationship of the heart, romantic (not legally binding contract relationships) playful, childlike, ‘philia’ love are transforming too. This is the house of ‘recreation’. A beautiful way to activate this energy is to simply play.
Jupiter/Venus transiting the 9th house is about opening the mind, body, spirit to an expanded level of being. Travel can do this, higher edu, meditation. Allow the belief system to open to a wider field of possibilities can feel very liberating. I meditate daily so that’s one way to engage this energy. Dating a ‘foreigner’ would too. Hmmmm Listening to Deepak Chopra talk about the discontinuity space between thoughts were there are infinite possibilities of manifestation available to us . . . that’s very 9th house.
What about you, Jac? Ideas for activating this trine energy a la houses 1, 5 and 9? I’m open to suggestions!
Wow Kim, thank you for your insights. They are so helpful and spot on. I am currently studying post-grad, but feeling somewhat disengaged as it is not the creative work that “lights me up” as you so beautifully put it. So it will be my mission to realign my creative passion with my work/study to make it authentic. My relationship has also been on the fritz, but the past few days, I just played, flirted and some healing and spark and sexual energy has come back to a very desperate looking situation. What else…reading poetry, asking the universe for guidance, planning a make-over…
I was hoping that you or someone could give me some guidance regarding creating positive energy in the 7th house? Natally, I have Aqua in the 7th house, I have Jupiter in Aqua, but from my limited understanding, I have Jupiter in the 6th house due to the degrees, thus leaving my 7th house empty. I love love! And I believe in commitment (Venus in Cap) but as yet…. I would love to transform this
Blessings
Dear Kim, First and foremost, thank you for your extremely informative website; I have only recently discovered it, and am enjoying it immensely. Lots and lots of good, juicy stuff here, I can tell!
On the topic above, I would like to hear your take on what is happening in my chart with specifically this grand earth trine. Start with the fact that I have no natal earth (tho Saturn exactly conjunct the Asc. for some grounding at least). I have a grand water trine (Sun/Mercury trine Uranus trine Mars); a grand cross (Saturn/Asc/neptune square MC/Uranus square Jupiter/Desc square IC/Chiron; a t-square of Moon opp Pluto square Mars in Scorpio). There’s also a mystic rectangle in there somewhere.
I have just had my 2nd Saturn return, and have my progressed new moon coming up at 5 Taurus. Neptune is addressing my 5th house Pisces stellium of N Node, Pallas, Sun and Mercury –all in first 6 degrees. Uranus is conjuct natal Ceres. (I wish I could figure out a way to post a link to my chart, so you could see how many things are being activated right now ad apologize for not knowing how). But, again, specifically to the GT in earth: My natal Chiron is at 10 Cap in the 3rd; Natal Vertex at nearly 8 Taurus in the 7th, and Natal Vesta at 10 Virgo in the 11th (and, as stated, upcoming progressed new moon at 5 Taurus in 7th). I would love to know your take on all this activity, and especially the ways you might expect the GT in earth, and the individual planets’ contacts, to manifest for me in the coming months — or, perhaps better said, what you might intuit would be the most constructive use for me of these energies. I’m a bit baffled by it all — of course, I AM a Pisces, so there you go
If you can offer any thoughts at all, I would love to hear them. Thank you so much.
Susan
http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=astro_2ast_03_susan_hk.33403.48436.gif&res=100&va=&cid=8eyfileDZ8rqk-u983944980
Hello again, just noted that people above were cutting and pasting from Astrodienst, so went to try it myself. I’m not sure if this will work, but if it does, this should take you to my chart.
Susan
Hi Susan, the cut and paste worked but has now expired. Still your best way to access the energy of the GT is to go there. Think of it as a beautiful forest with meandering paths, waterfalls and groves. The energy is there, you just have to align with it. So get yourself ‘into’ the houses involved. That’s the 3rd, 7th and 11th, yes?
Contemplate those areas of life. What to you appreciate there? How do you connect? In the 3rd it might be through a conversation, study, speaking or spending time (on the phone?) with a sibling or cousin, In the 7th, ask what you appreciate about your personal one-to-one relationships. What makes you smile there? In the 11th, what groups are you connecting with? What like minded others? (You already did this on by appreciating ‘The 11th House Blog!’ Thank you!
You get the idea. If we want to bask in the energy of this grand trine, we have to get ourselves into the flow.
With ‘no Earth’ in your chart, you may find you connect to this GT very beautifully as there is an open place for it in you. It may appear through ‘the other’ as an earthy person who gets you in touch with your body (like a yoga teacher or lover) or your accountant, or a boss or work colleague. Again, aligning with this energy begins by appreciation and participation.
Does that make sense?
Yes, Kim, it does make sense. And thank you so much for your reply (sorry about the link — I see that the same issue seems to happen with many people and am wondering what better way we might have to get you to actually be able to see our charts??)
Anyway, I like the idea that without Earth in the chart, the space opens for me to enter. It’s interesting, today I received a gift from a friend, said gift in a lovely box lined with rainbow tissue paper. And at first I thought “what might I keep in this lovely box?” Then on the heels of that thought, it occurred to me that I would keep nothing in the box, but instead place it, open, on my meditation altar, at the feet of a lovely Kwan Yin statue there, to symbolize to me my openness to receiving whatever gifts the universe has in store. That may sound a little trite, I guess, but it feels right to me and all day long made me happy to think about!
But back to the grand trine, I think in my case I have been really focused on the relationship potential of all the activity, particularly as so many of my own planets and points are impacted. (And well, duh, 3rd, 7th, and 11th houses affected!)Friends and fated connections/partnerships in particular. The first thought I had re the natal Vertex and progressed New Moon in the 7th being conjunct Venus and Jupiter was a new, particularly “fated” creative partnership, something that would help me turn around what seems for some years to have been my stalled creative ship. (I’m a writer, and a musician, or was both of these things until events of the past 5 or so years brought everything to a screeching halt and I am just now trying to find my way back.)
So Venus and Jupiter, and then suddenly awareness of them making this grand trine with Pluto (in my 3rd conjunct natal Chiron), and Mars/Eros/Psyche in the 11th, and I am really picturing something BIG with lots of potential for healing and connecting. Since Neptune is transiting the 5th and has just conjuncted my North Node, and is heading for Pallas, I feel art and creativity and new people popping up all over the chart. Just not yet in my life. So, my followup question to you is do you think I am overstating the case to myself here, or do you see some of these things in the same light I do? This is why I can never really analyze my own chart — my own hopes and wishes and fears get in the way. So, once more, if you have time, please comment.
Hope you have a lovely day!
Susan
Susan, I love what you have done with the gift box, and under Kwan Yin is so lovely. That lights me up just thinking about it. Talk about a symbol for allowing!
Your analysis is totally on track. I don’t think you over estimate. That is, I think it’s when we do have a big picture in mind and go for it, even if it is ‘unrealistic’ we can really bloom to our potential. I blogged about this recently using emerging writers as an example – ‘Go for the Unrealistic’. That will show you where I’m at with such ideas!) Whatever stopped you 5 years ago is in the past and with your sights set again on your artistry, you move forward into the world you are creating for yourself. It begins with your inner sight and inner thoughts. It begins with a big idea and the more you believe in it, in yourself, the stronger you will drawn it to you and all the help in the world you might ever need!
The chart is a map and like any other directional device, it doesn’t decide where we will go. We decide. The chart simply describes terrain so we know what the territory might hold. (so that we might ‘know thyself).
With Jupter in the 7th you’ll be attracting exactly what you need to help you along the way. You already are!
I’m feeling like I’m soooooo in LOVE! I met this guy about three weeks ago, he’s a cancer as well.. However, I’m feeling more attracted to him, is this ironic or what?
Sounds like fun to me, Nikki!!!!! Bravo!
Hope this works… http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=astro_245gw_02_inmaculada_concepcion_suarez_ramirez_2012313.52949.18688.gif&res=100&va=&cid=2f7fileTjDJXO-u1320473621
Thanks in advance it is truly appreciated xOx
Inlakesk, Namaste
The link has expired, Inlakesk, Just remember, if we want to partake of this grand Earth energy, we go there, to the houses or areas of life activated, and find something to appreciate! I’m taking 5 minutes right now to do just that!
Join me!
hello,
was hoping someone could look at my chart and tell me how the grand trine affects it. Jupiter/Venus is in the 11th house, Pluto the 7th, and Mars the 3rd.

Thanks,

Hey John, these are the same houses Susan has activated. Did you see my answer to her? I went through 3, 7 and 11!
I like that your natal Saturn is involves. I think if you give this energy some of your ‘time’, you will feel the results!
Let us know!
thank you for your reply! reading now!
Is it good that both Jupiter and Venus are in the 11th? I know the house is about groups and associations, but it is also about hopes and wishes…
Not at all surprised that the 7th is involved with Pluto. I take that to mean that my relationship will be transformed…but I’m hoping in a positive way because it is trining with Jup/Ven in the 11th?
Not sure about mars in the 3rd. Know that mars is the warrior and action planet, which is in retro. Don’t know much about the 3rd – so going to read about that.
You mentioned that natal saturn is involved. This is a saturn return, yes? This past year has been incredibily rough in terms of health. I’m not seeing how the trine can associate with health issues as the 1st and 6th are not involved (at least to my uneducated eye!). But I’m hoping for so positive resolution here and I’m open to the energies from this trine. I’ve certainly been working on improving my health over the past 12 months.
Any insight greatly appreciated!
John
Pluto rules your natal 6th house (as Scorpio is on the cusp) so the Pluto activation of the trine links you to it in that way as well as many others. I think Neptune square Neptune in the 6th confuses the matter. Weird symptoms or mysterious/hidden? I would explore deeper psychological relationships to health and the body. Have you read Deepak Chopra’s Ageless Body; Timeless Mind? Meditation? These support the Neptune awakenings. Obviously in conjunction with your regular medical practices.
Mars heats up anything he touches. In the third, that’s the conscious mind – what you think, and what you think you think! Communication, learning, teaching. Have you read Howard Sassportas’ The Twelve Houses? Highly recommended!
Will do thanks for your time n energy, really appreciate it. Namaste’
Dear Kim,
What a wonderfully uplifting and inspiring site. I’m going to try and post a link to my chart. Am suffering an intense and unrequited love and wondered if my chart and the grand trine can throw light on this- its meaning and what I might
learn from it and why this intense connection I have can’t progress.

Have worked out how to link to my chart. Hope this works.
Am not sure how to send link to my astro.com chart. I have the chart but don’t know how to add the link! Would you be able to tell me how to do this. Thanks.
Can one of our Astro.com savvy readers give Mika a hand? I pop back later to see!
Thank you!!!!

I think this is the link. Mika
Sent from my iPhone
Hi Mika, that link works!
There are many reasons for unrequited love and one of them is because it is very intense. The feelings are extreme and they can be consuming. In your chart, Saturn is the key is it’s the ‘handle’ to your ‘bucket’ pattern. Everything funnels through Saturn and is deeply moved the symbolic meaning and purpose of this planet, namely authenticity, strength, accomplishment and self-sufficiency. There is a powerful autonomy to Saturn but that doesn’t mean there can be no balanced and fulfilling, enrapturing relationship. Saturn is exalted in Libra; he shines beautifully through the grace and poise of a balanced, equal partnership.
I think you’ll have a lot of insights into they ‘why’ of your current feelings as Saturn crosses your Ascendant later this year. There will be huge realizations there. Your job is to let go of old feelings that no longer serve you and be in the present moment, clear and authentic.
As for the grant trine, the three key areas for you are 3rd house communication (what can you appreciate about the teaching, learning, engaging and communication that you have right now? What can you do to communicate more? The 7th house of equal partnerships is also awakened so spend some time appreciating those. If you don’t have a connection at the moment that fits this house, personal socially significant one-to-one relationship, then make a list of all the things you like about such relationships. No dwelling on the past or what you don’t have. Write only what lights you up when you think about it. Laugh about it even. Your 10th house of career, mission and profession/social identity is also activated. Put some time and energy in that direction too. Are you happy with your chosen career? What are you grateful for right now when it comes to your relationship with the public?
As I’ve said before, the grand trine requires engagement. We have to go to it, to the houses involved and connect in a practical way. You get the most out if you put your whole self in!
Hope that gives you some ideas, Mika!
Dear Kim,
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my chart- and thank you for your insight. I knew Saturn was the handle of my chart and you are so right about authenticity and achievement. I’ve just spent a wonderful week on a friend’s farm and have felt incredibly connected to the earth. I’m sure my feelings were heightened by the grand trine.
I read the Psyche Eros myth again and was aware how so many of my feelings were archetypal. My situation and feelings are almost exactly like Psyche- you are right about the intensity of these. I was interested that in the myth psyche doesn’t carry out her tasks but instead stands aside- has to practice passivity or let her unconscious do the work.
Thank you again x Mika
Hi. I am loving your blog but I am having a bit of trouble reading my chart for Trines. This is actually something that I have issues with, seeing connections like this. I get the stories but not details, if that makes sense.
May I please have a helping hand?

Hi Bonnie, that link takes me to my astro.com. I think you need to click on your chart as if you were going to print it and post that link. Have another go!
As for finding the trines in the chart, you first have to learn the elements. Fire, Earth, Air and Water. http://www.falconastrology.com/astro_loa_101.htm#trine When you look at your chart, check”
Planets in FIRE signs: Aries, Leo Sagittarius
Planets in EARTH signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Planets in AIR signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Planets in WATER signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
First find the houses that form natural trines in your chart. Can you spot them? Then see if there are planets there. If they are within 10 degrees of each other and the same element, you have a trine (trines can be ‘out of element if they fall in the beginning or end of a sign but learn this basic first).
Give is a go and I’ll check your chart for support.
Thank you for letting me know that I posted the wrong link. Hopefully, this is the right one.

I am having trouble spotting what I am trying to look for, so I am going to reread the link you posted and find a print copy of my chart to see if that helps. Thanks.
Yes, print out your chart. That’s a start. Then, learn the signs so that you recognise the glyphs and know the Elements. Use the link to my tutorial and with that knowledge in hand, it will become clearer. It’s all practice!
Take some time to ‘know’ the signs that make up the ‘triplicities’ or Elements. Then look at your chart. You will see that Saturn is in Libra. the AIR element trine to Venus in Aquarius. You have other planets trine in AIR and in FIRE.
As for the grand trine in EARTH, this transit activates your 2nd house (Capricorn) 6th house (Taurus) and 10th house (Virgo). As I said to Jacqueline in the comments above, this awakens your tangible, grounded and productive areas of life, work, daily routine and how you support yourself. Your talents and resources.
To tap into this energy, notice what you like about your career, your day to day routine and the ways and means you support yourself. Review your goals there and get some appreciation mojo happening! That’s the key!
Something big is going on for me. I my 30th in February (saturn return) and now the past 3 weeks, all these opportunities, and changes are taking place. Also I FEEL THE ENERGY…I drove past mt. Shasta during the full moon on the 7th/8th, and it was sooooo amazing. Then made a BIG decision on the March 12th to buy a home, and start my business there. Some sort of revolution is happening in my life, please share ANY insight. I do feel that it is connected to this grand trine…its like I have been planning for 8 years and it all just shifted and it might b a reality…. THANK YOU!!!

Are venus (capricorn) and chiron (taurus) activated for me?
Hi Angela,
Your Venus and Chiron are in later degrees so not directly picked up by the G-Trine but you have your 3rd, 7th and 11th houses touched and I can see by your description that you are tapping in to the abundance vibe!
You have Jupiter, and the whole GT, activating your natal Jupiter in Scorpio. It’s boosting your natural confidence and zest for life. Uranus trine your Moon and Uranus is also a zap of energy to stimulate moving you out of a rut and into the flow of possibilities. You make choices that require change, action and enthusiasm. PERFECT time to move house, start new biz etc. Well done! Just keep setting your sights high, for what you really want. Woot!
