The Astrology Podcast, Episode 266, Aspect Patterns in Astrology, Chris Brennan & Carole Taylor, August 5, 2020. As with any astrological placement, however, the expression of these aspect patterns in a given individual varies tremendously from person to person, and must be viewed holistically, taking into account the other unique elements of that native’s chart. Grant Water Trine individuals have tremendous imagination, intuition, and creative power. Natives with a Grant Air Trine are curious, intelligent, and socially engaged. Grand Earth Trine natives are secure and stable, with significant common sense and power to stay the course.

Natives with a Grand Fire Trine are often confident, spontaneous, and have significant vitality and energy. It can be difficult for natives with this aspect pattern to rise to the challenges and growth opportunities presented in other areas of the chart, rather than rest easy in the Grand Trine’s more comfortable territory. Natal Neptune for me sits at the apex of a minor grand trine. Natives with Grand Trines often feel quite comfortable with those areas of their life emphasized by the aspect pattern, and may even take those areas for granted or fail to do the work necessary to bear fruit in these areas. Solar return charts are an important predictive tool in astrology and they are based on. Key to understanding the Grand Trine is looking at the three houses in the chart that house the Grand Trine planets, as well as the rulers of those houses. Trines are supportive aspects that are often experienced as subjectively positive by the native. In a Grand Trine aspect pattern, all three planets are in the same triplicity, resulting in an emphasis on that element.

A Grand Trine is a planetary aspect pattern that occurs when three planets in a chart trine each other (120°), forming an equilateral triangle.
