"Geometrically speaking, the equilateral triangle is the most stable of all forms. The astrological grand trine normally links the three aspects of each of the four elements. It presents every mode of existence in its essentially threefold nature. It is unique in all astrological configurations in that it is composed of only one kind of aspect — and just as the grand cross is the archetype of all rectangular patterns in astrology, the grand trine occupies the same position in relation to triangular configurations.
The equilateral triangle symbolizes in most religions perfection of being — i.e., God as the supreme foundation of all existence. In that sense, it is the symbol of both a static and transcendent condition. It contains no opposition aspect; therefore, it is essentially subjective. It simply is, without conflicts, what it is. However, if an expansive planet like Jupiter dominates a grand trine, this 'what it is' may keep enlarging itself until some internal pressure or external boundary causes it to explode or to become objectively manifest within a form — which may produce conflicts or tension. In a particular chart, not only are the actual planets joined by the grand trine significant; what may be as important is the way in which the grand trine is integrated (by what other aspects) into the overall pattern of the chart. Since a grand trine refers to a fullness of vision, or something complete as an ideal at the level of ideas or archetypes, when it is integrated into the chart via an opposition, what is complete at the level of ideas has a more obvious or pointed possibility or necessity for concretization in the world or in the life and personality of the individual.
When one point of a grand trine is involved in an opposition, the opposition's other end almost inevitably falls at the midpoint of one of the trines, forming sextiles to the other two planets in the trine: a 'kite' formation. In such a pattern, vision or understanding and purpose (trines) find the possibility of outward manifestation in objective form (oppositions and sextiles) through organizational genius and the capacity for planning and enlightened management in which needs and answers to needs are brought together. The functional activities represented by the planet at the midpoint of the bisected trine should be those through which is focused and released what the entire configuration represents."

about the Grand Trine and the Kite
Full Moon chart : 23 June 2013, 11:32:15 gmt, 7e15, 43n42
The moon is at perigee now - at its nearest to the earth
so because of its proximity it's the largest full moon of the year.
symbol for 3° Capricorn :
a human soul in its eagerness for new experience, seeks embodiment.
Key: A powerful yearning for whatever will increase the scope and depth of one's contacts with other living beings.
What is implied seems to be the strong drive in every human consciousness or will toward new experiences, whether they are constructive or destructive. Man may grow and gain understanding and wisdom through both types. Yet the yearning needs to be tempered by an instinctive evaluation of the end results of the experience.
This phase shows us what is behind all uses of power, anabolic or catabolic: a strong desire to prove oneself.
The human soul is visualized as a hovering spirit eager and receptive to the lessons to be learned from life.
a symbol of the inner reality that gives meaning and inspiration to experience or of the supersensual actuation of selfhood.
Positively it is a degree of superiority over purely physical limitation; negatively, an overemphasis of outer self.
The keyword is stature.
The human soul receptive to growth and understanding.
a symbol of mankind's fundamentally naïve capacity for experience and of every individual's equally fundamental dependence on the understanding and support of fellow participants in each moment of self-discovery. Here is a delight in normal living, not through its limitation but rather through a reiterated release of selfhood. Life is found to be real and rewarding because it may be encountered in such infinite ramifications of itself. The keyword is avidity.
When positive, the degree is a gift for entering into the kaleidoscopic patterns of personal relationship with an unbounded enthusiasm, and when negative, simple shiftlessness or abandon.
Just two days after the Summer Solstice, with Jupiter conjunct Lilith and about to enter Cancer on June 26
there is a powerful axis in this Full Moon chart, formed by the opposition between Jupiter Lilith and Sun to the Moon in Capricorn approaching Pluto..
The planetary bodies are aligned in a kite pattern with the Moon and Pluto standing at the point of release.
The chart indicates sensitivity and responsiveness expressing themselves through imaginative forms.
The challenge is to let go of our deepest inherited emotional insecurities and fears of abandonment - the mysterious and tormenting monsters from our childhood imagination.
We may feel an impulse
to let go of our inner limitations and sense of uprootedness
to allow room for that which is reassuring because it is flowing and life giving ...
an inner transformation and new circumstances may then take place in our lives!
Carried by a sense of faith in Life forces and a recovered innocent enthusiasm,
we may feel the impetus to rise beyond the restraining limitations of a crystallized routine
and be receptive to the voice of our inner guide, our soul force.
It is an extraordinary favorable time
for breaking out of our shells, resistances and our self-imposed limitations
to reach for our hidden resources and gifts that will enable us to free our mind, release its creative power and act with integrity, wisdom and self-discipline
an open heart
may reach for Light
and find inner Peace.
blessings to all,
x
