Geometric figures aspects
These are planetary configurations of two or more aspects.
Line structures
People with a linear aspect structure in natal chart embody the cardinal principle of manifestation of their qualities. They prefer to subordinate circumstances to their goals, rather than harmoniously fit into them. When circumstances are stronger, they become irreconcilable fighters. Dynamism, openness, anxiety. Greater willpower, but reduced discretion. Subject to stress.
Chain
A sequence of unrelated sextiles, sometimes combined with a quadrature or trine. Irritability, nervous tension, quarrelsomeness.
Fan
Several aspects emanating from one planet and not closed in a triangle. Multilaterally but uniformly linked to environment; willful, individualist.
Padding
"Swing", according to the figure of Jones. A person can see both sides of the coin in a phenomenon, but we are overwhelmed by opposite aspirations.
half star
Two fans, the handles of which are separated from each other. The person shows versatility.
Compass
A person shows a noticeable interest in two spheres of life and activity, indicated by planets on the points of legs.
Stellium
Conjunction of 3 or more planets in 1 sign or 1 house. It occurs quite often (the orbis is allowed to be large, some researchers consider it just a stellium to find 3 or more planets in 1 sign).
Great strength in one - and weakness in the rest. The problem is balance, because this figure creates a warp.
Self-sufficiency. Purposefulness. The choice of life direction is easy, but compromises are hard. Stellium influences appearance person as if he were in the 1st house.
triangular structures
People with a predominance of triangular structures are dynamic, in a constant search for love and understanding. They do not shy away from society, but fit into it as harmoniously as possible. Strive to find a balance between inner and outer, heart and head. The joy of life, the acceptance of the new. Ideas for improvement and help. The larger the area covered by the triangle, the more pronounced its influence. The most important triangles, including the center of the zodiacal circle.
Grand trine (trigon) - Mercedes
An equilateral triangle formed by three trigons. It is considered the most successful and prosperous configuration of aspects. 3 planets in the same element. The strength of planets in a grand trine is similar to the strength of planets in their own sign - it is maximum. The harmonious flow of energy from one planet to another, without effort on the part of man. "Overabundance" of good. Gifts are taken for granted. Luck, success. Spheres excluded from the big trine are not mastered. The manifestation of a large trine depends on the element.
Fiery: high activity, self-confidence, optimism, enthusiasm. Pronounced abilities. High level of claims. This configuration most often brings a person into a celebrity.
Terrestrial: the importance of material well-being, the desire for it. Practicality. Focus on specific results.
Air: communication with mental world, sociability, developed intelligence. Inspiration and creativity. Ideas matter most.
Water: high emotionality, subtle perception, intuition. If his enormous creative potential is not realized, he may suffer from dissatisfaction.
The opposition points to the tops of the Mercedes matter. Transiting planets, falling into them, create an “opposition arrow”, activating all the planets. If the "arrow" is present in the natal chart, without creating a quadrangular structure (sail), then it provokes trouble. In a large trigon, as in an electrical case, an impulse directed to one of the vertices immediately responds to all others.
Sail, or Kite, or Kite
It refers to quadrangular structures, but is close in meaning to the Grand Trine, as it is a large trine with opposition and 2 sextiles: Mercedes plus the triangle of happiness. Balanced and dynamic at the same time. Motivation arises through opposition, opposition gives direction to the sail. Increased claims do not promise peace, but provide opportunities and strength for their implementation. configuration is positive. But, like all strong and large figures, it creates a concentration on the planets of this figure and leaves other spheres unattended.
finger of fate
The point at the top of the triangle indicates a fateful planet. On a vital task, the solution of which is necessary. The situation is even more acute in the presence of an arrow to the top of the triangle. This is a hint for development: what needs to be done.
180-120-60
Pretty common. Allows you to harmoniously resolve the contradiction of the opposition through the third planet.
Triangle of Happiness
Harmoniously connects 3 planets, one of which is a midpoint (midpoint) for the other two. Brings success in the areas indicated by the planets forming the triangle.
Quadrilateral structures
Basically they create stress. People with a predominance of quadrangular structures are tough, uncompromising, they know that life is a struggle from personal experience.
Big Square, or Cosmic Cross
Formed by 4 quadratures (and 2 oppositions). A tense, rigid configuration, forcing its owner to look for a way out of a life situation that does not suit him. A person is active, has willpower, but there may be too many obstacles. Rigid, unyielding character. Striving for power.
The cardinal Grand Square is the “easy” one: a clear awareness of the goal. But without the support of trigons, a person can come to a complete exhaustion of strength in the struggle of life.
The Fixed Big Square is the heaviest: it is not resolved, its tensions tend to hang. Oriented to the inner state.
The mutable Big Square generates indecision, inability to single out a goal and follow it, a waste of energy, repetition.
Rectangle, wagon, or envelope, or mystical quadrilateral
2 sextiles, 2 trines, 2 crossed oppositions. Oppositions can be called "mastered". Organizational skills, versatile thinking, synthesis. Works on a practical level, like Kite. Oppositions sharpen consciousness, set goals, harmonious aspects help to achieve them. Danger - obsession with some idea, area of life.
tau square
In fact, this is a triangle, but one of the most problematic, as it is built from 2 quadratures hitting one planet, and 1 opposition. However, it is found in the cards of many celebrities. Does not let the owner of the horoscope get bored. He makes them fight, and those who refuse to fight are severely punished, turned into whiners and pessimists, losers and "ostriches" hiding their heads in the sand.
When a transit planet passes through the planet in the center of the tau-square, a crisis arises, but an opportunity is also given for its resolution.
This is how astrologers describe the influence of the tau square. “This position of the stars causes certain obstacles, immediate crisis situations - but also forms a desire (sometimes obsessive) to overcome them. If the energy of the tau-square is directed by a mature person, it often leads to significant achievements, as it gives impetus to development and success. Globa considers tau-square to be a source of narrowly focused negative energy, the culprit of difficult situations that arise unpredictably.
The impact always falls on the planet in the center of this configuration.
The sun - self-expression, realization suffers.
Moon - hits the sphere of feelings.
Mercury - makes the intellect tense.
Venus - the sphere of love suffers.
Mars - actions can lead to mistakes.
Jupiter - there are too many people.
Saturn - general bad luck, difficult fate.
Uranus - unpleasant surprises, anarchy, excess freedom or, conversely, its lack.
Neptune - illusions, susceptibility to tonics.
Pluto - instincts that are not subject to man.
Fungus
A combination of tau-square and Mercedes. It gives great opportunities, but does not promise a quiet life (like Sail). Broad prospects for life realization.
Trapeze
Correct trapezoid: 180-60-60-60.
Opposition, resolved smoothly and calmly through 3 planets in sextiles to each other and 2 trines. Often occurs in the figure of Jones "bowl".
Gives full recovery of forces, overcoming, indefatigability. Protects from trouble, subject to the application of certain efforts. Often becomes an indicator of talent. Although it may also indicate a lack of work on oneself, an impenetrable immutability.
Wrong trapezium.
Two side squares, connected on one side by a sextile, on the other by a trine. Squares create difficulties, harmonious aspects help to resolve them.
Star of David (Diamond)
6 sextiles, 6 trines, 3 oppositions. Beautiful configuration. Enormous creativity - and almost no incentive to act. In any situation, a person strives to return to the original balance - and achieves it. Usually a lot of luck, very happy life, and in all directions.
Occurs rarely. The map of the singer Edita Piekha (two crossed Mercedes) is close in configuration.
The absence of an aspect is just as important as its presence. Unaspected planets are worse than badly aspected ones. "Blind" planets. But not necessarily “weak” at all: they can manifest themselves at the internal level.
Aspects form certain figures on the horoscope chart, which also matter. Aspects in the natal chart are called configurations. You need to know the following about them. There are configurations of tense aspects and harmonious ones.
What do the configurations of aspects in the natal chart mean
Tense aspect configurations include the Grand Cross, Tau-Square, Ax and Dart. To the configurations of harmonious aspects in the natal chart - Big Trine, Bisextile, Yod (Pitchfork), Roof, Star of David (very rare), Sailboat.
Aspect Configuration Grand Cross
Four points. Two oppositions whose vertices are in squares to each other. Gives big problems in life, carrying your cross. The Grand Cross deprives a person of freedom of action - he has only one path in life and often does not notice this. Unless a sense of doom may haunt him or a sense of his high destiny, no matter what it leads to.
Tau-Square Aspect Configuration
Three dots. Opposition and one dot in squares to its ends. A person, like against a wall, constantly beats against the planet in a square to the ends of the opposition, because it is an outlet that he tends to use when solving the problem of opposition relations.
Ax configuration
Three dots. Two form a square and are one and a half squares to the third. It manifests itself in the desire to fall into despair in the sphere of the planet at the top of one and a half squares when a problem of squaring arises. Inadequate behavior of a person in a situation with a single way out.
Dart Aspect Configuration
Three dots. Two form a square and semi-squares to the third. The person is very irritable and very sharp in matters of his square, quick-tempered.
Grand Trin Aspect Configuration
Three dots. Each of them is in trine with the other two. Luck in the affairs of the planets associated with this configuration, protection of fate in their sphere, which gives rise to laziness and idleness.
Aspect Configuration Bisextile
Three dots. Two in trine with each other form a third sextile. Greater ability to get rid of their problems. With a little luck and personal effort, a person will always find several ways to avoid trouble.
Yod Aspect Configuration (Pitchfork)
Three dots. Two in sextile, quincunx to the third. Configuration leads to constant transformations, upheavals, always unexpected, after which nothing remains the same as before. It makes you draw conclusions from what is happening with a person, again and again poking his nose into the same problem.
Aspect configuration Roof
Three dots. Two in sextile, semi-sextile to the third. A person achieves his goal thanks to the kindness of those with whom his life confronts. The roof is the roof. Though in astrology, even in the underworld.
Aspect Configuration Star of David
Six points. Two Grand Trines, the tops of which are sextile to each other. Total patronage of fate. This is a person with whom nothing bad can happen. He is a hostage of peace without the right to freedom. But he is lucky, just indecently lucky.
Parusit Aspect Configuration
Four points. Big Trin, to one of the peaks of which there is opposition. The pattern is like a small boat formed by the Roof, with a large sail from the Great Trin above it. Good configuration. A lucky and at the same time active person who can achieve a lot.
Sinister configuration in astrology, Grand CrossOne of the most ominous configurations in astrology, the Grand Cross will manifest in June 2016. Periods in history, when the Great Cross reigns in heaven, often carry fateful events that affect both the whole world and each person individually.
The Great Cross in astrology, or as it is also called the Great Square, consists of four warring sides. If you imagine a circle, then these four points will be located opposite each other at an angle of 180 degrees in irreconcilable opposition in the form of a cross. Moreover, each point will also be 90 degrees to the next. In June 2016, the Grand Cross will form in the signs of Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces during the new moon on June 5, 2016 and will last until June 10.
In 2016, the Grand Cross will consist of very different planets: Jupiter and Venus in conjunction with the Sun, as symbols of Good and social order, as well as Saturn and Neptune, representing the forces of Evil and various restrictions.
The Grand Cross of the planets has always been associated with the coming changes, and not at all with the plus sign. For example, such a situation in the sky was observed in the early 30s - then I. Stalin came to power in the USSR, and the world conflicts that sounded at that time led to the outbreak of World War II.
According to astrologers, the Grand Cross of the planets is a harbinger not only of wars and armed conflicts, but also of natural disasters. It was during the period of activity of this configuration of the planets that the eruption of Mount Etna occurred on October 26, 2013, as well as strong earthquakes in several regions neighboring Italy.
What can we expect in June 2016?
Turning situations are likely in world processes, primarily in the global economy and international relations, since the participants of the Grand Cross Saturn and Venus are related to finance, and Jupiter symbolizes public order and foreign states. It is possible that the Cross will mark another crisis in oil prices and rising food prices with a decrease in the purchasing power of the population. This state of affairs runs the risk of turning into speeches by disgruntled citizens in order to reach out to those who are at the helm of the country. The influence of Neptune in Pisces can provoke religious disputes and problems of an international nature. This is a time when it is so easy to get hurt because of excessive ambitions and erroneous decisions.
A "fatal combination" cannot influence world processes without affecting a single person. We, as part of the Cosmos, as the arbiters of global processes on Earth, will undoubtedly feel all the “charm” of its impact. It is in the power of the Grand Cross to provoke a deterioration in well-being, mood swings, and also send trials in the form of conflicts with loved ones and financial difficulties.
Especially hard during this period will be for those born under the signs of Libra, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, as well as for those who have important astrological points in the horoscope in these signs.
Precautionary measures
Forewarned is forearmed. By adjusting your behavior during the formation of the Grand Cross, you will be able to minimize the aggressive impact of the Cosmos. So, precautionary measures for the period from 5 to 10 June 2016:
- if possible, do not make important decisions, especially if they relate to material issues;
- do not get involved in disputes and do not enter into discussions: it is unlikely that you will be able to defend your point of view, but relations with opponents will be spoiled for a long time. The most explosive will be the topics of religion, cultural and national differences;
- do not go on a trip: there is a risk of force majeure situations and injuries on the way;
- do not borrow, do not bind yourself with credit obligations: giving money will be an impossible task;
- do not ask for a promotion or salary increase: most likely, you will not achieve what you want, but only turn the management against you. The results of your work will be subjected to the strictest criticism;
- carefully analyze the personal, business and other offers that come to you: the risk of being masterfully deceived increases;
- give up the use of alcoholic beverages: the effect of them can be completely unpredictable.
“Is it possible to benefit from the situation of the Grand Cross?” - you ask. Of course, you can - if you perceive this period as a temporary test. And when we pass tests, we train endurance and willpower, and as a result we become more resistant to any blows of fate.
Let life's sailboat run swiftly
Free wind across the boundless seas,
And may his fate keep him from sorrows,
And the stars shine for us like beacons of hope.
Little Wind
In astrological practice, not only the positions of the planets in the signs and houses of the horoscope are of great importance, from which usually any astrologer starts his journey, but also an understanding of aspects, that is, the relationships that are formed between various factors and zones of the natal chart. Aspects, in turn, are combined into geometric structures that carry a very specific meaning, confirmed by many years of practice. One of these structures has a poetic name - Sail.
The Sail configuration in the horoscope looks like a triangle, the sides of which are outlined by aspects of 120 degrees. Moreover, on one of its sides a bi-sextile is fixed, outlined by two sextiles - aspects of 60 degrees of the circle in which the horoscope is enclosed. The triangle, called the great trine, thus "floats" on the bisextile like on a boat, forming a sailboat.
The Grand Trine is the most harmonious aspect of the horoscope; people with this configuration live carefree if strong and kind planets participate in it. Such a person can do nothing all his life, others will bring everything to him, he will receive help in any case and will even be able to avoid fair retribution, except in rare cases when he harmonious life strong transit combinations of inauspicious planets will oscillate.
People with a large trine can fall into his trap if they are passive and irresponsible. Then the harmonious aspects of the configuration will play a negative role in life: a person will never be able to realize his potential just because he may simply be too lazy to do anything. At the end of life, such people can greatly degrade, because the trine indulges in any occupation, including vicious ones.
Bisextile is a configuration of possibilities, harmonious and mobile, it opens the way for friendly interaction, adds contact and internal dynamics to the situation in which it manifests itself. In the trine construction, which unites the points of one trine, an aspect from a friendly element is added. For example, trine in fire signs receives the support of the aspect from the air, and the aspect of 120 degrees in the earth signs - gains additional power thanks to the sign of the water element.
The combination of a grand trine and a bisextile gives rise to the Sail configuration, which, combining positive features"parents", adds an axis of opposition, giving the tension necessary for action, which is very important for a grand trine. It is this mast that serves as a conductor of the passive energy of the trine outward, to another element, preparing the territory for cooperation.
In the natal chart, this position manifests itself as a harmonious combination of opposites in life, for example, having an axis on the line of the fourth and tenth houses, a person can do what many cannot do - successfully combine work and housekeeping, such people can work in real estate. The axis from the third to the ninth house will give a good teacher, who at the same time is constantly learning himself, improving his skills without any special impulse from outside, but unobtrusively, as if by itself.
In a synastric chart, when forming a sail between two partners, it will matter to which partner most of the planets of the configuration belong. The one who has more planets in the general configuration will feel its beneficial effects more often. The second partner will feel the influence of joint aspects less often, but at the same time much more intensively.
We can feel the most frequent influence of the Sail in the formation of transit aspects related to the planets and angles of our horoscope. The powerful influence of a favorable construction is projected into the point involved by the aspect, and from there it spreads over all the spheres of our horoscope, in which the transit planets are located, providing unexpected help where previously we had to solve all problems on our own.
The appearance in the sky of the construction of aspects under the figurative name Sail always denotes a period of harmony and happiness, which many people can enter at the same time, it is ideal for building relationships if it is formed by Jupiter, Venus, Chiron and Neptune. It is good for a business to have a Sail involving the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto. For travelers, the combination of the Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars will be lucky. It is good when a configuration of several Sails is formed, up to the very lucky star horoscope - Astarte.
