Trine

Trine is the aspect of natural flow; the 120° angle marks harmony where the two planets work together effortlessly. Talents come without the typical friction; skills feel innate rather than hard-won. A Mars-Jupiter trine, for instance, describes athletic or physical confidence that doesn't require constant struggle. The shadow side of trines is that ease can breed complacency: the gift works so naturally that it may never be developed as deeply as it would be by someone who had to fight for it.
