Planetary Configurations

Grand Trines

In Fire

Those who have fire grand trines are usually very outgoing and charismatic or self absorbed. Either way, there is much emphasis on the self. These people have big egos, along with a sense of self-importance; they are proud and can be selfish.

There is tremendous creative ability. They prefer to be active. Sometimes they enjoy dangerous pursuits, which they throw themselves into fearlessly, as they are adventurous. Here is someone who hates to be subordinate. Independent and self-starting, they hate interference from anyone. These people can be over confident

In love matters, fire, being a royalty element, they expect total devotion, attention and even service from their partners. Unfortunately, this is not a two way street. Unless their partners are very direct about their own needs, the fire trine person often will ignore them, as they are into themselves.

The fire element is energetic and vital. This gives a high energy level and is good for the health. This also gives strong resistance to infection and stamina.

In Earth

Money, physical pleasure and sensuality are important to these people, more so than to everyone else. They are organizers and planners. Security is of prime importance and they dislike spontaneity, unless there are many planets in the mutable signs. These people can be very self-indulgent. The earth element gives tremendous endurance, stubbornness, and determination.

Many are hard working and their lives can revolve around their work and business. They do not like to take risks or gamble. They have good timing, as most think ahead and do not rush into things.

These people can have a dullness about them as they are not outgoing like the fire people, but they are reliable and lead more organized lives. Their lives can become stuck in the same old routines. Work and productivity are highly valued, often above all else.

In Air

Here we have the intellectual. These people can live in their heads so to speak. They are idealistic, value wisdom and education. Being idealistic, they can be impractical. Air, by itself is a cool, intellectual element. These people dislike relationships where many demands are put upon them. Communication and discussion with others is important to them. They are good at argument.

Unlike fire and water, air is not very passionate, preferring to relate to others intellectually. A good talk and communicative understanding are more important to these people. These people are versatile and can be many different things to many different people, as they adapt. They are impersonal and can look at things in a detached way, seeing both sides to an issue. They make excellent writers, journalists and have much talent where communication is involved.

In Water

Water is the element of emotion and feeling. Here we have the psychic. These people can often feel what others are feeling or thinking. Like the fire element, water gives creativity. Water trine individuals are super sensitive Water is the element of fertility and can give large families. These people can be escapists. The imagination is active and rich with daydreams and fantasies. Water people are often artistic.

There is much empathy for others and a strong sense of justice. The suffering of others and the world deeply affects them. If there are several planets are in Cancer and Scorpio, these people hold grudges and can make dangerous enemies.

Dissociate Grand Trine

This is where one planet is out of place. Check the element the other two are in. The traits will be weaker, than the pure elemental grand trine.
