What these two are about together

Identity and expansion. How much room you believe you are entitled to take up, and what happens when that belief meets the world.

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

Growth without much friction. Associated with opportunity that arrives through being well thought of, and with an easy faith that things will work out.

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.

The two planets

Sun: Identity, vitality and what you are becoming

Jupiter: Meaning, growth and the risk of too much
