There is a shadow manifestation of a trine aspect that is worth considering in the context of the current relationship between Mercury and Nessus. Trines are often considered karmic rewards, aspects of ease and flow, and of opportunity. Others have noted their ‘use it or lose it’ quality, and the need for conscious exercise and expression of the talents they represent, or they fade away. Martha Lang-Wescott added this to the discussion. A trine, she said, can have the quality of “If you lie, I’ll swear to it.” Yet note that is within a person’s natal chart, or the experience of a transit. It’s not one person lying for another — it’s an inner thing. This would be more commonly known as denial. I don’t consider denial a primary definition of a trine, but it’s on the list of things to check when a trine is active. The current trine between Mercury in Cancer and Nessus in Pisces has the special property of being wrapped in a Mercury station retrograde, which happens in a few days. Mercury is slow and powerful and slowing down to a point of an inner emotional confrontation — changing directions in the sign Cancer. There are many people who live in and on denial; who live in wholly fictional worlds of who they might be and who others should be. This is isolating. Mercury stationing retrograde feels like a point of reckoning. Neither Cancer nor Pisces give up their secrets easily, if only because they’re not easy to translate into words. One thing that might help this process along is the use of I-statements. Pisces is the sign of the sexual imagination (often denied, or regarded as a dirty secret clothed in guilt) and Cancer is the sign of security at all costs, which is often a head trip. This relationship is worth investigating. You’ll have go below the surface, though there’s treasure down in that shipwreck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
