Jupiter and Saturn stand about a hundred and twenty degrees apart today, a trine, traditionally read as the easiest of the major angles. The Moon is in Pisces, near full and bright through most of the night.

What is a trine in astrology?

A trine is a one hundred and twenty degree angle between two bodies, four signs apart and in the same element, and it reads as the easiest connection in the chart.

Signs four apart share an element, so a trine links two parts of a chart that already speak the same language. Fire with fire, earth with earth, and so on.

The tradition calls it fortunate, and it is worth knowing the other half of that: what comes easily tends to get used without thought. A trine is talent, and talent unattended stays where it is.

The honest reading of a trine is a door that happens to be open. Walking through it is still a decision.
