The Water element signs react to life's events at a seemingly subconscious level instinctively. The Water Grand Trine individual will typically experience life with an emotional intensity. The Water element is the most comfortable of all the signs when dealing with emotions and the spiritual realm. The Water Grand Trines tend to possess the most in-depth creative potential. In other words, if the activity involves too much physical work, they will quickly direct you to one of their cousins with a Fire or Earth Grand Trine. Actual physical action is not the name of the game and can list a litany of reasons why they should not invest their time in such draining behavior. They are also more prone to depression, short attention spans and skimming the surface in an effort to get a project done more quickly. The Air signs are adept at forming ideas, developing connections and expanding on the mental faculties with great ease. They can cognitively explore a concept and discard it quicker than most other individuals. Mentally, the Grand Trine Air may be turbo charged, talking almost as fast as they are capable of thinking. There is a nature of duality in each of the Air signs (two twins, two scales, and two currents). Since the element of Air is associated with the intellectual and social interactions, these Grand Trines may have an affinity for socializing and mentally challenging others. The Air Grand Trines tend to be highly idealistic. They are also likely to see the broad picture of reality when contemplating their next action.ĪIR. The Earth Grand Trine individual finds comfort in routine and structure. Creativity and talents ranging from music to art is a typical manifestation of the Grand Trine nature. While the Earth Grand Trine person may be a bit more inclined to fall into bad habits and routines that are not the most productive, the Earth Grand Trine individual is the person most likely to succeed in quitting these bad habits if they feel that it is necessary. Consistency is the true nature of the Earth element. Dependability, creature comforts and practicality tend to be the goals of the Earth Grand Trine. The Earth Grand Trine individual can see no productive reason for zipping around like a humming bird, expending all that energy.

Earth Grand Trines tend to be considerably less action oriented than any of the other elements. Expressive and perhaps explosive while demonstrating their emotions, the Grand Trine Fire individual would benefit by learning to conserve their enthusiasm and impulsive nature as well as learning to tap into other expressions of emotion that are more progressive.ĮARTH. Intensity might appear to be the norm in their overall nature. They tend to be outgoing and perhaps a bit dramatic. A Grand Trine in Fire can often contribute to a sense of self-confidence and will tend to aspire for the highest highs possible. Individuals possessing a Fire Grand Trine are likely to over-extend themselves in the process because the tendency of the Fire element is to burn until there is no more fuel (or oxygen) left. Fire Grand Trines tend to be constantly busy with one activity or another. Each element represents a Grand Trine influence.įIRE. The potential of that Grand Trine may never be tapped by the individual who feels content to go with the flow, but at the same time is afraid to explore the passions that are hidden below the surface of the Grand Trine's great flow of energy. The reward of the challenge seems to be missing. The Grand Trine comfort zone may be in taking the easy way out, failing to encourage the individual to respond or participate. Grand Trines can simply be too good and too much.

The Grand Trine energy can take on a life of its own with the individual simply tagging along rather than being an active participant in life. While Trines can reveal where one's talents and comfort zones might be, Trines can also indicate where the individual might be lazy or uninvolved in conscious decisions. Grand Trines represent an opportunity granted with open and effortless flow of energy between the planets. The tendency of the Trine is harmony and flowing. Each aspect has its own highs and lows, and none are any better or worse than the other aspects. However, this wonderful reputation is not wholly deserved. Trines, and particularly Grand Trines, have a reputation for being positive and creative aspects. It is believed that a Grand Trine is, collectively, the purest expression of an element. Having a Grand Trine is similar to having a planet in a sign that it rules. The Grand Trine occurs when three planets are in the same element (Fire, Earth, Air or Water), while forming Trines to each other. Element and Receptive Configurations (Part 2)
