Sun trine Mars: Do whatever you want with the same rhythm

4 min read

There is almost no jam between the goal and the ability to act. It is a straight path given to you by Sun trine Mars: the theme set by Sun, Mars uses just enough strength to complete it, and the saved energy can be spent on depth.

Chart: Sun and Mars are 120 degrees apart and form a trine. The two planets probably share the same element, and the aspect lines create a naturally smooth path.Schematic, not a real chart

The Core of Sun trine Mars: One Sentence Version

trine is a 120-degree distance: your will and your actions are like dialects of the same language family, and they can understand each other without translation. Once the goal is established, the steps will automatically line up in the same direction, and you will have less internal friction when pushing things forward. This kind of smoothness may also be too effortless - the price of smoothness is the lack of reminders, and it is easy to skip checkpoints along the way.

What do the two planets want?

Sun is responsible for orientation and recognition, and Mars is responsible for attacking and maintaining strength. The two ends of 120 degrees mostly come from the same element family. Sun’s theme has the same origin as Mars’ way of exerting force: the style you want, the way you take action, and the speed at which you burn energy are naturally like a family. What is missing is the push from the outside world - when no one proposes a question and there is no deadline, you are the last to start work.

The feeling of soft aspect: three specific scenes

If you work on a project alone, your patience can span quarters. Only when you look back will you find that the progress is already ahead of schedule. Take over a new skill and master the basic skills in just two weeks. Others often misunderstand that you already know it. For training that is not comparable to others, such as long-distance running and power walking, you can make it a habit and not interrupt it throughout the year.

Immature version and mature version

The immature version is smooth and confident: the same comfortable way of exerting force has been repeated for many years. When asked, it is “okay”, but the depth is stagnant. The mature version automatically replaces the format - upgrade the easy one to a more difficult version, and intermittently ask others to give you questions. Trine’s job is not to create friction, but to add a gear shifting function to this naturally smooth engine.

Orb and priority: 120 degrees, natal practice within 6 degrees

trine’s natalorb has a score of 6 degrees, which is the same standard as square. After reading the main line of the whole disk, this 120-degree resource line is an extra point and is often connected to the sign of the same element, indicating that the level of converting will into action hardly needs to be taught separately; the full version of degrees and conventions is organized on the same page, orb.

Cheat sheet: Six aspects of Sun and Mars

The six aspects are arranged in the following table according to distance from nearest to far.

aspect angle and natalorb one sentence

opposition 180 degrees, within 7 degrees Momentum surges from both ends
trine (this page) 120 degrees, within 6 degrees Do whatever you want with the same track rhythm
square 90 degrees, within 6 degrees Friction forces more accurate force
sextile Within 60 degrees, 4 degrees Support at your fingertips
quincunx 150 degrees, not marked Misplaced kinetic energy, connected by fine-tuning

The biggest risk of trine is waste rather than loss of control: Although The myth of hard aspect is titled as hard aspect, it also dismantles the framework of “aspects are inherently good or bad”; for interpretation exercises, aspect courses will guide you, and for other pairs, turn to aspect index to read on.
