In the age when everyone knows everything luck defies explanation. Definitions, views and opinions vary. It’s considered real but unpredictable. Some see it as a random occurrence. Others as a fantasy or coincidence. It’s most often associated with games of chance and successful achievement and modern new-age probability theory supports the idea that it is possible to achieve certain outcomes by making calculated moves.
Luck is often viewed as success brought about by chance rather than through one’s own actions and shallow thinkers associate luck with winning money or other prizes. It describes the apparent involvement of fortunate chance in an event that has a favorable outcome and Hermetic astrology teaches everything you need to know about luck.
The trine aspect in astrology
Hermetic astrology teaches that when two planets are approximately 120º apart in the zodiac they forma trine aspect and its influence is comparable to Jupiter, being jovial, fortunate, constructive and very harmonious.
Its keyword is luck.
Achievement often involves an element of luck and when you experience regular good fortune with some life-matter you know that there’s more going on than your conscious mental effort and actions. There’s luck.
You can be lucky but luck is not a reward. It’s due to the harmonious conditioning energy – the feeling of vibrant, persistent pleasure – that has been built into the not-conscious thought complex mapped by the two planets forming a trine aspect.
The aspect connects two departments of life, mapped by the houses where the planets are located, and favors good-fortune with their life-matters.
Some people can experience extraordinary good luck. Bahia Bakari did.
On June 30, 2009 she was the only survivor when Yemenia Airlines Flight 626 Airbus A310 crashed into the Indian Ocean. The other 152 people on board were killed including her mother. She was thirteen at the time and clung to a piece of wreckage for 13 hours before being rescued. Considering the magnitude of the event she experienced, her injuries were relatively minor.
Her chart progressed to June 30, 2009
Birth record data is August 15, 1996 at 7.50pm MEDT: 48N38; 2E27 (Evry, France)
Progressed Mercury at 1 Libra 31 in house 8 was trine birth chart Uranus at 1 Aquarius 30R in house 1 (her physical wellbeing); progressed Jupiter in house 12 was trine birth chart Moon in house 7; and progressed Moon at 7S33 was parallel birth chart Pluto at 7S31 in house 10 (her mother) and cusp ruler of house 9 (the plane flight).
Chances are there’s luck in your life
It’s highly likely you have a trine aspect in your birth chart. It indicates that your soul on its evolutionary journey developed a high-harmony state of consciousness in response to a large number of pleasant experiences. So, there’s luck in your life.
The thought-elements ruled by the two planets have had a frequent, pleasant and long association with the life-matters ruled by the houses where they are located.
The thought-cell groups the planets rule are embedded with buoyant feelings of pleasure and they’re using their psychokinetic power to attract fortunate events and conditions which favor the satisfaction of their desire-urges, peace of mind and happiness.
A trine aspect in your chart indicates there’s luck associated with a particular life-matter: health, work, finances, accommodation, marriage, friendship, travel, study etc. or a lucky break that involves an encounter with a person who knows something you don’t or can do something you can’t.
The luck associated with the event involves the harmony embedded in the thought cells mapped by the planets rather than any physical or conscious mental effort by you.
The level of harmony possessed by the planets involved in a trine aspect is measured by their harmodyne power scores.
When 2 planets forming a trine aspect are trine a third planet the configuration is called a grand trine. The thought-cell groups mapped by the three planets are harmoniously united and using their psychokinetic power to attract fortunate events and conditions associated with the life-matters ruled by the houses where they are located. A grand trine indicates that there can be an extraordinary amount of spontaneous good fortune in the life.
Maybe you have a grand trine in your chart. If so, consider yourself fortunate. Kamala Harris and Antonio Guterres do.
Kamala Harris has a grand trine involving the Sun in house 5, Saturn in house 9 and and the ascendant. You can see her chart here
And Antonious Guterres has a grand trine involving Mars in house 4, Saturn in house 8 and his ascendant. You can see his chart here
Luck thought compounds
A trine aspect in your birth chart depicts a high-harmony not-conscious thought-cell compound that’s embedded with buoyant feelings of pleasure and it’s working to attract very fortunate events that can be attributed to luck.
Its psychokinetic power adds to your pleasure by putting you in the right place at the right time to experience good fortune. You can meet someone who can provide assistance and help you succeed.
A luck thought compound has been gradually developed through repeated experience with very fortunate environmental conditions.
And your luck thinking is buoyant, positive, persistent and harmonious. It’s jampacked with pleasure so you keep coming back for more. You’re doing things and engaged in interests and activities that provide you with deep feelings of contentment.
Conciliating planets
Two planets forming an opposition aspect map a high-discord separation thought complex. The desire energy embedded in the thought-cell groups pulls in different directions resulting in a mental tug-of-war that tends to attract painful separation events.
And Hermetic astrology teaches that when the two planets forming an opposition aspect are trine and sextile a third planet it acts as a conciliator, appeasing and pacifying the warring thoughts and feelings.
It teaches that a conciliator planet acts as a peacemaker and provides an easy escape from the mental conflict and environmental stress mapped the opposition aspect. And that it acts as a coping mechanism appeasing the pain associated with split-thinking and separation.
It teaches that those who have a conciliator planet in their chart can, by focusing their attention on the people, environments and life-matters it rules, avoid much of the stress associated with the life-matters and people ruled by the two opposing planets.
A conciliating planet maps a thought-cell group that can attract much good fortune and spontaneous good luck and Hermetic astrology teaches that those with a conciliator planet should deliberately exploit this very fortunate birth chart predisposition.
Maybe you have a conciliator planet in your birth chart.
Donald Trump does and so does Emmanuel Macron and Al Gore.
Donald Trump’s Sun-Moon–house 10-house 4 and Uranus-Moon–house 10-house 4 oppositions are conciliated by Jupiter in house 2 (his finances and possessions). You can see his chart here
Jupiter is the planet of legal matters and the extraordinary amount of good luck mapped by his Sun-Jupiter, Uranus-Jupiter trines was on full display when he won the US presidential election and avoided two federal criminal cases against him: one connected to hiding and hoarding classified White House documents and another for his alleged role in seeking to overturn the 2020 election results.
Emmanual Macron’s Sun-Jupiter–house 11-house 5 and Mercury-Jupiter–house 11-house 5 oppositions are conciliated by Saturn in house 7 (international affairs, partners and his wife). You can see his chart here
And Al Gore’s Sun-Neptune–house-9-house 3 opposition is conciliated by Saturn and Pluto in house 1 (his personal interests and effort). You can see his chart here
Here’s how to increase you luck
Some say you can make your own luck but you’re really relying on the high-harmony luck thought-cell groups in your soul to do it for you.
They’re embedded with intense feelings of pleasure and while you engage in a life-matter mapped by a luck trine aspect and you can enhance your luck and physical and mental wellbeing.
Birth chart knowledge invites you to deliberately exploit the luck embedded in your soul by creating the circumstances that ensure you feel the continual satisfaction associated with the activities and interests mapped by the planets forming a trine aspect.
They map natural aptitudes that are easily developed due to so-called good luck. (And you’ll have aptitudes mapped by other planets that are more difficult to develop due to adverse environmental conditions and a lack of support.)
Hermetic astrology explains how you can acquire luck through the deliberate cultivation of high-harmony states of consciousness.
You have a best planet. It maps a dynamic desire that expresses effectively and is easily satisfied. You should focus on its development.
You have a best aspect. It maps a harmonious thought compound that works to attract fortunate events and conditions. Stay focused on it.
And you have a best house. It maps a department of life that favors assistance and fortunate events. You should associate with its life-matters as much as possible.
But too much luck isn’t good. It can make your life easy and you lazy. Ease and comfort incline you to rest on your laurels. Mishap and adversity are needed to keep you struggling and your character developing. Dissatisfaction prompts you to achieve more, raise the bar and strive for a higher level of personal accomplishment.
Birth chart knowledge enhances your self-awareness; and knowledge of a trine aspect in your birth chart makes you wiser.
