Soon after making ingress to Leo yesterday, Venus formed a trine aspect (120 degree angle of contact) to Uranus on the Aries Point. Today, Venus forms the same aspect with Jupiter, which is in the second degree of Aries, still within a degree of exact conjunction with Uranus. These two occurrences may be taken as one. They may also be taken as positive. If there is anything to synchronicity, Venus may be indicating that solutions are at hand where the personal becomes political.

Let’s start off with a closer look at the trine, the planets involved, then move on to examine a few other concurrent and applying aspects that would flesh things out a bit.
One of the principles that organizes and distinguishes the twelve signs are the four elements of western antiquity. Earth, air, fire and water. Twelve divided by four leaves a remainder of three. So there are three signs for each element. On the wheel of the zodiac, signs of the same element are equidistant, separated by 120 degrees. Three times 120 equals 360, the number of degrees in a circle. Try it yourself. Find a depiction of the zodiac, pick any point in any sign, count 120 degrees in either direction and you will find yourself in the same degree of a sign of the same element.
