Venus Trine Chiron

(Transit Venus → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Venus trine: Love is such a good thing that it is absolutely incomprehensible how it can cause trouble. The Venus trine brings social protection and good fortune in areas governed by the planet, quick and easy recognition that a person takes for granted and inwardly values little, unless there are other moments of self-affirmation in life. The Venus trine gives the planet’s principle a natural taste and a good perception of reality—often too harmonious, in fact: all ugliness becomes unnoticeable or is smoothed over, and a desperate cry for help may sound to the person like a weak and unnecessary request. This aspect (even Venus trine Pluto) makes love a natural state for the person in areas governed by the planet, but at a low level, the person tends to extract this love from the surrounding space (and people), using it for personal gain, though outwardly everything may look quite decent, natural, and even strange to think that the person is extracting it without considering compensation, like a lotus flower that adorns the world simply because it exists and cannot do otherwise. For example, Venus trine Pluto at a low level of processing brings an abundance of fatal infatuations into a person’s life, from which they often emerge unscathed and with a decent bouquet (quickly wilting, by the way) of flowers of pleasure, while the victims year after year (and, of course, the person’s own lower passions) gladly and willingly become their own. Processing brings a wonderful vision of the flaws and vices in the beloved being (and, of course, in oneself), which the person can point out accurately and almost painlessly help overcome—this, in fact, is the karmic program of this aspect. Though it is rare for a partner to endure such a program for long, it can prove very constructive for a short period. The person themselves, however, can hardly expect satisfactory emotional relationships in love, and if, for example, they also have a square to Uranus or an opposition to Saturn, they should not count on a conventionally happy marriage. At a low level, the Venus trine brings social (and romantic) relaxation, laziness, and parasitism, often in the form of total ingratitude toward people and life for everything they do for the person—something that usually goes unnoticed by others but is experienced as a heavy blow in pronounced cases.

Chiron trine: Words, like children, play only by themselves. The Chiron trine gives the person, in the spheres of the planet’s influence, a remarkable freshness of vision and of their own manifestations. They manage to look at things in an unusual yet convincing way and show them to others, so that what they see is difficult to forget or repress. This aspect often brings a peculiar sense of humor and the ability to entertain those around them, sometimes thoroughly baffling and confusing them, which brings the person great satisfaction. At a high level, this aspect grants penetration and development of the planet’s principle that seem incredible to contemporaries but become fundamental to the next generation: what Chiron reveals eventually becomes mainstream. At a low level, the person tends to exploit the Chiron trine without effort, growing accustomed to chaotic and surprising situations resolving themselves quickly and painlessly, as if they were witty jokes of fate. However, anyone who believes they fully understand Chiron’s humor and, especially, thinks that this planet’s influence will not touch them personally is deeply mistaken. When the humor of fate touches essential aspects of their own life (and the principles of planets always relate to such things), the person is often left with little to laugh about and desperately tries to understand what is happening to them—but an unprocessed Chiron trine does not provide this understanding, and though it usually eventually leads to a breakthrough in the feeling of being in a foreign country at a variety show, poorly understanding the language, vainly trying to grasp the comedian’s puns—while the whole audience is in stitches—for no apparent reason.
