Moon Trine Chiron

(Transit. Moon → Natal Chiron)

Avelom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Moon trine: Ingratitude is a wall that protects a person’s personal happiness from the general disharmony of the world. In the spheres ruled by the Planet, it is difficult to emotionally affect this person for long: their ability to restore the disturbed subconscious balance is astonishing. The Moon–Venus trine provides extraordinary inner resilience to romantic experiences; the Moon–Sun trine, to any imperative circumstances. With an egocentric orientation, the Moon trine makes a precise yet utterly ruthless vampire in the areas related to the Planet—ruthless because they are completely unaware of what they are actually doing. For example, with an unprocessed Moon–Venus trine, a person may sincerely love and somehow understand art, but their perception is largely physiological, meaning it is accompanied by a crude profanation of aesthetic currents. After speaking with an artist and sincerely praising their paintings, this person will cover both the artworks and the creator themselves with a film of banality and dullness, forcing the artist to spend some time regaining composure and reorganizing their gift, purifying it. Conversely, working through this trine produces a person of art, whose every step and gesture can be admired, not to mention their home and the food they prepare. The Moon trine grants brilliant abilities for intuitive learning in the spheres ruled by the Planet (for example, a trine to Mercury gives linguistic talents, to Mars—athletic abilities, to the Sun—skills in directing another’s will), and at the same time, remarkable laziness in these very areas, which can only be overcome through various external spiritual orientations, when the person feels the importance of each choice and action and takes responsibility for them. At lower (and middle) levels, in the Planet’s spheres, a semi-conscious attitude prevails, such as: “If necessary, I can easily do it, so why should I bother?” and a general yet deeply sincere egocentric orientation, accompanied by the subconscious feeling: “Of course, the whole world should strive for me—after all, for whom else?” Beneath the thin film of well-being lies a vast area of dullness with pockets of decay, mostly repressed into the subconscious and manifesting as a general depressive background, rendering any constructive self-improvement or outer-world work profoundly hopeless and senseless for the person. Processing occurs through overcoming laziness and the tendency to profane everything happening in the Planet’s spheres, treating both not as personal flaws but as direct enemies (i.e., through the 7th house). Overall, it can be said that the Moon trine attempts to subtly redirect the Planet’s lower principle into serving the ego or, at best, the person’s family, while karmically it presupposes its processing, expansion, and refinement through transformed lower subconscious programs: the gourmet becomes the cook. Chiron trine: Words as children: effortlessly playing only by themselves. The Chiron trine gives the person in the Planet’s spheres of influence an astonishing freshness in perceiving the world and their own expressions. They somehow manage to look at things in an entirely unusual yet highly convincing way and show them to others, making it quite difficult to forget or repress what has been seen. Often, this aspect provides a unique sense of humor and the ability to entertain those around, sometimes thoroughly confusing and bewildering them, which brings the person great pleasure. At a high level, this aspect enables penetrating insights and development of the Planet’s principle, appearing miraculous to contemporaries but becoming fundamental for future generations: what Chiron reveals eventually becomes mainstream. At a low level, the person tends to exploit the Chiron trine effortlessly, growing accustomed to various chaotic and surprising situations resolving themselves quickly and painlessly, usually interpreted as a clever joke of fate. However, the person who believes they have fully understood Chiron’s humor, and especially one who thinks this planet’s influence will not touch them personally, is deeply mistaken. When fate’s humor affects essential aspects of their own life (and the Planet’s principles always belong to this category), the person is rarely amused and desperately tries to understand what exactly is happening to them. Yet an unprocessed Chiron trine fails to provide this understanding, and although a way out of the developmental impasse usually comes eventually, it often arrives with the bewildered sensation of being in a foreign country at a stage show, poorly understanding the language, and futilely trying to grasp the emcee’s puns—while the entire audience is dying of laughter—without knowing why.
