An aspect pattern comprising three planets spaced 120° apart around the chart, so emphasising one of the four elements. A trine is a generally fortunate aspect, which nourishes the continuous use of natural talents and abilities, is an area of comfort, and can assist the native in the expression of harmony in the areas denoted by the houses stimulated. A Grand Trine would seem to be a multiplication of this, but can be quite the opposite, creating laziness and overconfidence in the natal chart and undue optimism when formed by transits, depending on the planets concerned.
