Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Conjunction: the individual strives for self-realization, expressing aggression and activity. This is energy, independence, and courage (all nuances depend on the sign in which the conjunction occurs). Initiative, an active nature, and impatience. For a woman with this aspect in her chart, the image of a “knight without fear or reproach” is particularly appealing. Trine, sextile: the meaning remains the same, but consciousness, instead of being dependent on the active principle, subordinates it to its own goals; hence, an excellent ability to control one’s own and others’ actions.

Trine of the Sun: When you feel fate’s support, consider what exactly it is supporting. This is a very strong aspect. Karma seems to determine that the planetary principle should live well, harmoniously, and happily—at least, this is how it appears to a person operating at a low level of processing the planet and its trine to the Sun. In reality, karma grants the planetary principle a victorious path on the condition of its cultivation; moreover, the person’s will, when directed toward the planetary principle, easily finds a constructive direction—if the person so desires. If, however, the person wishes to exploit the principle, their will again meets no resistance. Thus, one should not assume that the Sun’s trine signifies the prosperity of the planetary principle; it can just as easily signify its decay (though still under a beautiful facade) if the person’s will is directed toward predatory consumption and irrational use. In this sense, the Sun–Moon trine is particularly dangerous, especially with a strong Sun, as it allows health to be too easily exploited for the sake of the person’s will—something that in practice most often means the will of a rigid egregore. Overall, the interpretation of a trine in general, and the Sun’s trine in particular, depends heavily on the level of its cultivation. At a low level, with a selfish orientation of the will, the person will soon encounter the unpleasant effect that external imperative circumstances superficially seem to favor the planetary principle, while internally—essentially—they do not foster growth but instead lead to stagnation, rendering the person hopeless. Conversely, active cultivation of the planetary principle and its development will find strong support from karma, which will appear entirely natural to the person but will be the result of their volitional efforts, reinforced by the planet’s trine. Here, it is crucial not to stop, as the creative and supportive influence of the trine ends abruptly when the person’s constructive volitional effort wanes, transforming into a predatory one—i.e., forcibly extracting harmony from the environment and delivering it to the person in an uninteresting form. In the areas governed by the planet, it is dangerous to oppose this person: the force that maintains harmony around them will show no mercy. When interpreting this trine, it is also important to consider the relative strength of the Sun and the planet, though here one should look not only at the horoscope but also at the person’s concrete life circumstances. In any case, the person will sincerely believe that their will and initiative in the sphere of the planetary principle are flawless, and it will be nearly impossible to convince them otherwise. Trine of Mars: By expending their strength moderately, the person shifts an inordinate burden onto the shoulders of others. This is a dangerous aspect, as it allows the energy inherent in the planetary principle to flow freely, though its force may be profaned and directed toward outright evil. The person will have an illusion of the planet’s power, but without cultivation, it will reveal itself as the power of its lower octave, which will attract the close attention of the ego and involutionary karmic programs (i.e., those carrying chaos, destruction, and profanation), and they will attempt to make the person their conduit. At a low level, this aspect, alongside the sense of the planet’s power, also brings laziness, which the person cannot overcome on their own—especially since, as it seems to them, others are willingly working in their place. Significant life obstacles (particularly those arising from the planet’s tense aspects) that force them to activate the planetary principle should be regarded as positive developments (though the person often does not realize this), as they compel the person to flex their muscles and invigorate stagnant blood (and the dust of the lower astral). Most likely, the work will be completed quickly and efficiently, as the Mars trine provides intuition that allows the planetary principle to be realized with minimal effort, after which the person can rest well, gradually losing the strength they had regained during the work. At a high level of cultivation, Mars imbues the planet with high-vibration energy, helping it manifest its higher octave, and as a result, the world receives, instead of an energetic black hole (characteristic of the lower octave of the aspect, where the person forces world harmony and specific people to work for their ego), a powerful energetic channel. If, however, the person has a very harmonious Mars, without cultivation, it will eventually place them in a peculiar slavery to a rigid egregore, which grants the person power only to dispatch them on its specific errands (most often involving active support of chaos, though it could be far worse—active involutionary programs)—manifesting as inexplicable, all-consuming laziness, indifference, and apathy. And as the egregore exhausts the person’s external energy, it turns to their internal energy, leading to melancholy that can escalate into severe somatic illness.

Frances Sakoian. Aspects

Courage, willpower, leadership qualities, decisiveness. Beneficial for men, as it bestows distinctly masculine qualities. Ambition and self-confidence, physical strength, endurance, energy, and a love for sports (though they are more interested in their own achievements than others’). Honor and integrity; they are unafraid of hard work and take on challenging tasks. Practicality and constructive use of their strength allow them to “crack tough nuts.” They know how to apply theory in practice. The Sun’s potential expresses itself creatively and inspirationally. Constructive focus.

Boosts immunity, strengthens health, grants great vitality, constructive energy, willpower, enthusiasm, initiative, decisiveness, confidence, courage, nobility, honesty, sincerity, progressiveness, a desire for novelty, and leadership skills; for women—happy marriage. The negative side of this aspect is that it fosters a sense of impunity, leading to a strong temptation to exploit it. For women, this may manifest as a desire to captivate men, strong animal instincts, a coarse nature, and an overemphasis on the physical over the spiritual.
