The Virgo Sun’s earth trine to Pluto’s Capricorn corner at 4:46 am EDT Sunday will symbolically close the gap between near and far. It will be for you to make it real. It’s about how the Sun is always plainly present, even at night, its light reflected by the Moon and planets guided by solar gravity. It’s also about how Pluto’s just as pervasive as the Sun, but much less plainly, except when aspects serve to reveal it.
A trine aspect connects signs that share the same element (fire, earth, air or water). The name “trine” comes from the fact that each of the four elements is shared by three signs equidistant from each other on the zodiac circle of 12 signs. The tropical zodiac circle represents all there is, and the eternal cycles through all that is, some shorter, some longer.
The number and equidistance of signs sharing the same element mark the angles of an equilateral triangle arrangement between them, which represents the completion of a connection. Repeatedly, trines correlate to a connection, not through proximity, but through the conductive flow facilitated by a common element that is the next best thing to the proximity of a conjunction.
The phenomenon manifests repeatedly in the material world, establishing one of many demonstrable correlations from astrology to your tangible reality. It’s what allows you to have electricity far from where it was generated because of how there is an unbroken flow through conductive metal that functions to close the gap between you and the power plant. It’s how cetaceans can hear each other over oceanic distances, because of how water conducts the flow of sound so efficiently.
