I have no idea what you all will take from this, but I will tell you one of the main things I see. This is the difference between someone who has a bunch of trines in their chart (me) as compared to someone with hard aspects (him). The soldier and I:

“Well it is hard for me to understand,” I said. “You tell me no one can get near you. That’s what you say.”

“It’s true. I don’t want anyone in my body space, P. Get in my body space and I’ll hurt you.”

“Yeah, I understand that but I can’t see it. Not now and not ever. You have always been completely open with me. I could or would never imagine you have any sort of issue with this. I am near you all the time and you are completely relaxed.”

“Well that’s the phenomenon, isn’t it? I keep telling you, P, no one affects me like you. You completely disarm me. I turn to mush the minute you’re in the room.

I have a high tolerance for risk and also an uncanny ability to absorb and recover from losses, even when they are staggering. I chock this up to the trines from Jupiter in my chart.

And I had a consultation with this gal the other day and I was telling her she was not going to have to worry about money. She had Venus in Pisces (exalted) involved in a Grand Trine with Jupiter (and Uranus as I recall) and money always just seemed to flow to her from somewhere. However she still worried about it! And this is one of the ways astrology can really ease things for a person.

I consider trines in a chart to act like an intravenous feed. You don’t have to do anything to make them work. You can be passive and the stuff in that bag is still going to flow into your arm and provide you with a benefit or nutrients of some kind. And it’s enormously helpful if you can identity which areas of your life are covered like this. So what about you?

How are you gifted? Can you tie this to a trine or Jupiter in your chart?
