GRAND EARTH TRINE

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” Henry David Thoreau

As though the Universe knew February would be a good month, it made it one day longer this year. Starting on the 15th, we experience a Grand Trine. We’ve discussed Grand Trines before as the greatest blessing we can see in a chart. A trine (triangle) is a 120-degree relationship between two planets; a Grand Trine is this same relationship operating between three planets all trining each other and resulting in a powerful blessing circulating the entire chart.

Generally, a Grand Trine is made up of one element, but in this case, we start with two planets in Earth and one in Fire. While this may weaken the dominant element it also adds movement and change. Consider the benefits of prescribed burns, helping the Earth to grow even better. However, that only lasts a couple of days and then that wayward planet also slips into an Earth sign, giving us a solid Earth Grand Trine for the rest of the month. Spiritually oriented people are sometimes regarded as impractical dreamers with a shortage of the Earth element. The Piscean Age didn’t help with its active encouragement to disassociate from the tangible world in the effort to reach “heaven” above. The virtuous pursuit of “higher things” devalued the here and now of earthly existence. But the shift into a more Aquarian way of thinking echoes Madame Helena Blavatsky’s mantra: “It is not that we should live in this world less, but in both worlds more.” As you enjoy our lovely Earth blessing, you might consider whether we are blessing the Earth in return.

Everyone: The first of three “Supermoons” on February 9th makes Moon-viewing easy and worthwhile.
