Sun: 29'Cancer
Moon: 18'Capricorn
1 Day to Full Moon
So. A friend of mine emailed a group we are both part of on Wednesday (good day for mass emailings, being that that's Mercury's day) regarding a major astrological configuration coming exact this past Thursday. Specifically, Mars + Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, all coming to trine one another for the Grand Water Trine pattern.
Now, the Grand Trine happens fairly often - I have one in my own natal chart, across the Air signs. But usually when it happens it involves the fast-moving Moon and only lasts for a few hours, or it'll split elements (one planet sitting in a different element than the other two when it occurs close to a cusp). It's a lot rarer to get the much-slower social and generational planets involved across the same element: Jupiter, as the fastest of those three, still takes about a year to transit the 30 degrees of just one sign, and they stay together for a bit when it happens both prior to and after the most exact point.
I find it interesting to hear how the same aspect patterns can spark totally different takes on it.

A discussion on Fire
Sun: 24'Gemini
Moon: 29'Leo
A burst of colorful flowers in the sky, fading away in smoke trails just before another illuminates the night. A campfire crackling merrily away, toasting your marshmallows, before it escapes the confines of its coals and transforms into a raging wildfire. A volcano spewing embers into the storm it generates to wreathe its own summit in rainless lightning a la Etna, or fountaining smooth streams of heavy basalt into the sea as Kilauea so iconically does A candle, steady or flickering in the wind. The scent of bread baking in the oven and meat roasting on the barbecue. The light by which you read these words. The fury of the nuclear fusion at the heart of the warm sunlight on your skin (and the painful red burn it may leave after)...
These are some of the physical manifestations of Fire.
Earth may give us form and Water life, Air is breath (or death). But no element has brought people together again and again the way that Fire does. It is as beautiful as it is dangerous, tough to contain but impossible to live without.
