It looks like my natal chart has three and an envelope? I have been told I have one grand trine but not too sure how to be sure. I will post my chart here later.x IP: Logged |

Is there 2 fire grand trines and one water grand trine and an envelope in this chart? Or is that possible? Or maybe is it the thickest red lines that constitutes the outline??? IP: Logged |

Fascinating chartpattern.Anyway Grand trines exist of three trines, which are blue lines between planets in signs of the same element: I see one Grand trine: Saturn - Neptune - Venus BTW astro.com partly uses astronomical big orbs, so you need to have an eye on this. In this case I think the orbs are acceptable: Neptune: 16 Sag Saturn: 11 Leo Venus: 18 Leo The triangles with red lines are usually T-squares, existing of an opposition and a square. You seem to have one T-square: Saturn opposes Mars and both square Uranus Saturn: 11 Leo Mars: 12 Aquarius Uranus: 11 Scorpio Orbs are very close (only 1 degree tops), so I think this might be a very significant shape / constellations.All three corners will react to transiting planets simultaneously. You have a Kite: That is a Grand trine, and one of the planets making the grand trine has an opposition to another planet. In this case, it is Venus on 18 Aries opposing Pluto on 13 Libra. You also have a mystical rectangle or envelope, yes. This shape consists on two trines, two sextiles and two oppositions inside: Saturn on 11 Leo trines Venus on 18 Aries Pluto on 13 Libra trines Mars on 12 Aquarius Saturn on 11 Leo sextiles Pluto on 13 Libra Venus on 18 Aries sextiles Mars on 12 Aquarius. 6 degree for a sextile might seem generous, but since this is a shape with mujltiple planets involved, I would accept it. Saturn on 11 Leo opposes Mars on 12 Aquarius Pluto on 13 LIbra opposes Venus on 18 Aries These oppositions are t he backbone of your envelope, where the energy comes from. In your case even more so as all these chartpattern interlock. I think the interlocking planets will be most important, for example Saturn being involved in all three shapes. Additionally you have a Minor (grand) trine; this is if two planets are in trine and both are sextile a third planet. It is not really a grand trine, it is a minor shape. (happens more frequently, might be significant though). Saturn trines Neptune and both sextile Pluto There is a second minor trine: Neptune trine Venus and both sextile Mercury (and probably also Mars). That`s it as far as I can see it. EDIT: I focused on the major planets and left out the asteroids. Of course if you include asteroids you may have more shapes. It`s not that rare then anymore though. With so many asteroids some will always make certain patterns / configurations. It`s certainly interesting to look at WHICH asteroids combine and build a "group" though, the symbolism and so on. Just keep in mind that everyone has some asteroids forming a Grand trine or whatever.

Hi Ceridwen, If I may tack on a related question here... Do nodes fall into the same category as asteroids for the purpose of determining grand trines? I used ClairVision to get a chart interpretation and it said I had three grand trines... but all three have node involvement. Similarly, the software says I have two grand crosses, though MC, nodes and Black Moon are involved. All told, this interpretation notes 3 grand trines, 8 kites, 3 t squares and 2 grand crosses, which seems to be a lot, compared to what I've seen in my chart before. IP: Logged |

Traditionally, the nodes and angles are excluded from asessing configurations, probably because they are no physically existing objects, but calculated points; the same would go for Black Moon, though the asteroids of course are physically existent.Personally I think you can of course use the asteroids as well; not having made up my mind about the calculated points yet, but since we interprete them, why not? It`s just not the traditional way, and of course it means that the existence of a configuration is not so significant in itself (for just its existence), but the significance is in checking which symbols are grouped together. I find it interesting and worthy of an interpretation. I call these multiple planetary aspects "closed circuits" and tend to see them as an "operating unit". For example: In my chart I have a Kiteformation of: Pluto on 9 Libra trine Pallas on 9 Aquarius trine South Node on 9 Gemini/ DESC 7 Gemini, oppospite ASC/Neptune/NN on 7-10 Sagittarius. I don`t think it is something unique that I have a Kite, BUT what is unique and significant for my personality is that Pluto, Neptune, Pallas, and even the ASC-DESC and nodal axis are interconnected. They are working "together". In anotrher chart there may also be a Kite, but maybe it will consist of Pallas, Mars, Uranus and MC. It will be very different from mine.

Ceridwen,Could you tell me what is the ruler of my chart or how do I interpret this and would I be a saturnian person as in you had mentioned there was alot of saturn contacts? Another question what is the ruler of my 7th house or how do you interpret what is the ruler of an individual house? Sorry for all the info sucking, these are just questions Im dying to ask..... Thanks in advance 8) IP: Logged |

Snooks,a bit impatient, aren´t we? ruler of your chart is Pluto, or Mars, as both planets rule Scorpio on your ASC. So Pluto or Mars would be significant in your personality and in the way you approach others.
With Pluto in 11th house frienships might be extremely important for you; Mars in Aquarius would emphasise this theme. (could also have to do with humanitarian ideals). Mars as ancient ruler of ASC is in 3rd house, so very communicative, maybe in unusual ways sometimes (Aquarius!).
The ruler of ASC often indicates the area we are instinctively drawn to and where we express ourselves instantly without reflecting about it. Saturnian person? Hmm, don´t know. Well, Saturn is very significant in your aspects, so it could very well be that you are a Saturnian person. But,there are no conjunctions of Saturn to personal planets, no planets (except for Ceres) in 10th house, no Cappy- planets. Still it`s very intervowen in your chart, so it will still have an influence in your personality. But it could also (maybe simultaneously) be, that you experience Saturn from the outside, either in the form of "teachers" of any kind (Saturn is in 9th house) or even through lovers: Saturn opposes Mars, which rules the 5th house of love affairs. (it is only one possible expression; could also mean that you sometimes feel blocked in this regard (maybe even through long distances or different beliefsystems or something like that); positively it could indicate that you take your love affairs very seriously, even though on first glance you may come across as chatty and communicative and easygoing in this regard: ruler of 5th house in Aquarius in 3rd house). The Saturn opposition contradicts that "easy going-ness" definitely. As do several other configurations (ASC in Scorpio; ASC-ruler Pluto opposing Venus in 5th house; ruler of 5th house opposite Saturn etc.) Ruler of your 7th house is Venus, and it is in Aries in 5th house (looks like a pretty relationship oriented chart to me).
Every planet is the natural ruler of a certain sign; if this sign iso n the cusp of a house, the natural ruler of the sign becomes the ruler of the house.
In your case: ASC Scorpio - ruler Pluto 2nd house Sagittarius - ruler Jupiter intercepted in 2nd house is Cappy - ruler Saturn (jupiter and Saturn then both become houserulers) 3rd house: Aquarius: ruler Uranus etc. The "alphabet" is this: 1st house - Aries - Mars 2nd house- Taurus - Venus 3rd house - Gemini - Mercury 4th house - Cancer - Moon 5th house - Leo - Sun 6th house - Virgo - Mercury 7th house - Libra - Venus 8t house - Scorpio - Pluto 9th house - Sagittarius - Jupiter 10th house - Cappy - Saturn 11th house - Aquarkus - Uranus 12th house - Pisces - Neptune
Before Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn also ruled their planets: Scorpio: Mars Aquarius: Saturn Pisces: Jupiter IP: Logged |

Your an absolute star Ceridwen..... thank you sooo much for your time and energy for looking at my chart, i have such an interest in astrology but it is so diverse and my impatience lol prevents me from sitting down and learning the right way, so i learn bits here and there, but what you have described for me is brilliant it gives me another understanding. Your the best xxxIP: Logged |

Sorry Ceridwen, I also meant to mention to you that you have described my personality excellently from what you have interpreted.... the venus opp pluto is a difficult aspect to handle, its the crux of me actually, now I see that pluto is one of my chart rulers as well this is going to add to the intensity of it. xIP: Logged |

Above are all the grand trines so in answer to your question, according to clairvision switchboard yes it is possible.
