An equilateral triangle marking a 120-degree separation.
Also known as: Trine, 120 degree aspect, Triangle aspect, Equilateral triangle in a chart
The trine symbol is a triangle because the aspect is a 120-degree separation — three of them fit exactly around a circle. Every aspect glyph in the set is built the same way: the shape's number of sides is the number of times the angle divides the zodiac.
Denotes an angular separation of 120 degrees between two bodies in an astrological chart, drawn as an equilateral triangle.
Contexts: History
Takes its shape from the arithmetic: three 120-degree arcs complete a circle, which is why the glyph is a triangle rather than an arbitrary mark.
Contexts: History
Is held in astrological practice to indicate ease or harmony between the bodies involved — a claim within that system, not an established one.
