Trine

The trine is the aspect formed when two planets sit one hundred and twenty degrees apart. It is the most harmonious aspect, linking planets in signs of the same element, such as two fire signs or two water signs, so their energies share the same basic nature and flow together with ease. A trine brings natural talent, good fortune, and a sense that something simply works. The gift of a trine is that it asks for no effort. The planets cooperate so smoothly that a person may not even notice the ability they have, treating it as ordinary because it has always come easily. Trines describe innate strengths, areas of grace, and the parts of life where things tend to fall into place. The hidden risk of a trine is complacency. Because its gifts are effortless, they can be taken for granted or left undeveloped, while a person puts their attention on harder areas of the chart. The work of a trine is to value and actively use its talents rather than coasting on them.
