What these two are about together
Assertion and what will not be made acceptable. Associated with anger that was not permitted, and with what a person does with it once it is.
What a trine does
A trine puts two planets in the same element, and the tradition reads it as the easiest relationship in the chart. What the two govern agree with each other and need no negotiating. It is usually experienced as a natural facility, which is exactly why it is also the aspect most often taken for granted.
How it reads
The refusal has an outlet. Associated with directness that works, and with a fight picked well.
In practice
Read as ability rather than luck. Trines describe what somebody can do without effort, and consequently what they may never have bothered to develop.
What to watch for
Complacency. The traditional caution about trines is that nothing here demands anything, so nothing here necessarily grows.
