Aspect Patterns

Aspect Patterns are a combination of different aspects that create a clear shape or pattern in a natal chart. See the image below. These patterns give more insight into the relationship between the planets and aspects. Each pattern could truly have a whole blog post dedicated to them, but below are summaries.

T-square and Kite aspect patterns from "The Astrology Bible" by Judy Hall"

T-square: Associated with stress and challenges. This aspect is where at least two planets oppose each other and both square a third planet. This causes a lot of tension, especially towards that squared planet. While the opposition indicates clashing needs, wants, and tendencies the two planets will have frustration and potentially inner stress, worry, or anger with/towards the squared planet. The goal is to balance the opposing energies and find strength, beauty, or maybe usefulness from how different the squared body is.

Grand Trine: When three trines connect and form a pattern it indicates a lot of harmonious and comfortable flowing energy. It can boost intuition, creativity, self-confidence, decisiveness, and many other traits. The positive influence is going to greatly depend on the planets involved. However sometimes frustration, stress, sadness, and anger could be hard to express with a grand trine as there isn't an "outlet" or more challenging aspect to add depth to the dynamic of the pattern. The pattern could promote stagnation in some way.

Kite: Associated with both challenges and potential. A complex pattern with three planets forming a trine (also known as a grand trine pattern) and the fourth planet is opposed by one of the trined planets. This forms a sextile aspect to the other two planets. The trine promotes creativity, harmony, and easy expression however the rest of the pattern presents challenges to meet this. Depending on the planets involved confidence in one's expression may be challenged the most often. However the planet opposite the trine’s focal point is key to unlocking the kite’s potential.

Grand Cross: Introspection, resilience and/or willpower towards obstacles, and tapping into hidden potential and weaknesses are themes that revolve around this pattern. Here two oppositions are connected by four squares. Support and strategy are two needs for those with this pattern. Self-awareness is a must to be able to understand the support you need from others and for avoiding impulsiveness or self-destructive tendencies.

Finger of Fate (yod): This involves two quincunxes linked by a sextile. If a planet falls in opposition to the tip of the triangle the pattern forms then energy can be expressed or released. The planet at the point/tip may be a focal point or set the tone for the entire pattern. This is considered a rare pattern and has themes of spirituality, transformation, heightened intuition, karmic lessons or obligations, and unique challenges.

Grand Sextile: A pattern that has six sextiles linked together to form a circle. Harmony and cooperation may be seen among the planet's "relationships" in this pattern. This means the associations and expression of the planets can easily sync, support each other, or at least won't ever cause tension or overshadow one another. An example of this is the Moon and Mercury being part of the grand sextile would indicate emotions and intellect tend to be in balance or at least never tempt or confuse each other. This pattern is known to be favorable for creativity, intuition, problem solving, and mystic talents or connections. This is considered a rare pattern.

THE YOD ASPECT PATTERN

I know there isn’t a lot of information out there on Yods (AKA- Gods pointing finger, Finger of fate, etc) and I’ve had a heap of requests to make a post on this fairly rare aspect pattern. I plan on going further in-depth with Yods at a later date but for now, this is what I know…

The Yod in astrology is often found in the charts of people whose lives are colored by intensity and constant adjustment.

Yods symbolize patterns in families that have lasted for generations. Carriers of the “Finger of Fate” can also feel insecure or have trouble expressing themselves and they may often find themselves in unusual situations. People with Yods in their chart have a restlessness, like a sense of their unique purpose and a calling to be their authentic selves at any expense.

The discomfort of a Yod tends to manifest more in the mental and emotional realms. Yod people may always feel like some crucial understanding or piece of information is missing—one that would help transcend the irritating sense that things are not quite as they should be.

👉🏼👇🏼👈🏼

If you have one or more Yods in your astrology chart:

You elicit strong, recurring responses from your environment that you don’t understand

Your parents had trouble comprehending you as a child (and as an adult)

You maneuver through intense circumstances that would break other people’s spirits

You experience things “out of the blue” that are beyond general life events

What crosses your path often involves some scare, shock, security threat, or some other uncomfortable situation over which you cannot exercise any influence. Strange events simply “happen,” often out of the blue

Simply put, the role of Yod bearer is to break ancestral patterns. Yods are strange, but also somewhat mystical and fated. Those who have Yods in their birth charts are here to shed light upon patterns that have gone unaddressed for generations. The planet at the top point of the yod is the solution. When the yod is activated you have the choice to make society better or worse and your choice can not be undone. Whatever fate you choose is set in stone. No pressure.

Side note: Yods can also be a health aspect. You have 2 planets in a sextile so they get along really well and then you have the activation point…It is always a sign that is not Compatible with the other two which causes irritation.

Example: Someone who has a very long history of being ill and fighting to figure out what is wrong & why has a yod containing Mars in Aries in the 6th quincunx the sextile planets. Neptune in Scorpio in the 1st and Pluto in Virgo in the 11th. Which Jupiter in Virgo in 12th is in opposition to the Mars in Aries.

Hey you guys ever think about how rough and tumble little Stanley Pines tried his hardest to absorb all the ugly meanness of the world to protect his brother— how he became blustery and loud because it was the only way he received attention but also because it shielded his abnormal twin from scrutiny— how he stood in front of Ford with his gap tooth bared and scrawny arms outstretched taking in all the gawking and hurt by being the slip up, the rascal, the troublemaker— and how this ultimately led to Stanford Pines, the dreamy-eyed idealist who couldn’t tell the difference between friend and enemy, and Stanley Pines, the man who became so desensitized to pain that his life became one big bruise. Anyone ever think about that?

Little Danny's Big Adventure

New idea.

Okay now hear me out.

-Pulls out AU idea cauldron and tosses stuff into it-

Let's put in some Ghost King/Prince Danny.... But also some deaged to toddlerhood Danny that gets yeeted into the DCverse!

Like imagine, tiny baby Danny with his tiny crown of ice floating above his head and his galaxy cape wrapped around him and uses it like a baby blanket. He didn't mean to fall into a different universe, a natural portal opened up and he was being a curious little thing! He didn't mean to trip and fall in during his nap time.

Nor was he expecting to fall into this realm during a rogue attack and knock out said rogue cause they were being a meanie and harming people and now Danny just wants his nap time cause he spent a lot of his tiny engery and he wants to find a nice spot.

Danny finds a place to crash, snuggling himself into his cape and the astronaut bear Danielle got him during her last visit that he takes everywhere since.

He's out like a light as the door to this safe house that belongs to one of the Bats opens up.

Meanwhile. In the Infinite Realms, Queen Regent Jazz is going into Mama Bear Jazz Mode trying to find her deaged brother, keeping the Realms in check, and is resisting the urge to put CW in time out Soup Time because he's being cyptided again about Danny whereabouts!!! UGH!

Ranni has every reason to hate Marika. She is the figurehead of an order that has caused her and her family so much misery… and yet, in the Age of the Stars ending cutscene, Ranni holds Marika’s head with such gentleness. It feels less like Ranni is putting down a tyrant, and more like she’s laying her to rest, after many long years of torment. 

Ranni could have been Marika’s successor, but she rejected the guidance of the Two Fingers, slaying her own flesh in order to be rid of their influence: 

“But I would not acquiesce to the Two Fingers. I stole the Rune of Death, slew mine own Empyrean flesh, casting it away. I would not be controlled by that thing.”

Ranni goes to such drastic lengths because the most intolerable thing possible to her is to be a pawn; her will not being her own, but being at the mercy of a higher power. Ranni’s quest is above all about free will – it culminates with Ranni using the Fingerslayer Blade to tear her Two Fingers into bloody ribbons, at long last giving her full control over her own destiny.

Marika in the present day is a prisoner held in perpetual torment. According to Enia and the Two Fingers,

"Queen Marika is the vessel of the Elden Ring, carrier of its vision. A god, in truth. But after the Elden Ring's shattering, she was imprisoned in the Erdtree. A grim punishment for shattering the Order, despite her godhood. The Fingers speak... "Marika's trespass demanded a heavy sentence. But even in shackles, she remains a god, and the vision's vessel.”

Marika shattered the Order, going against the will of the Two Fingers, and was punished for it gravely. In many ways, Marika’s fate is Ranni’s absolute worst nightmare. This is exactly the fate she took such drastic lengths to escape… serving a higher power with her entire being, her will not her own, but the will of the Fingers, with any attempt at change met with violent suppression, her body essentially being used as a puppet to defend the last vestiges of the Order.

“I would not be controlled by that thing.”

I think that Ranni, seeing Marika’s broken body at the end of it all, felt nothing but pity for her in that moment, despite everything she’d done. To me, the act of Ranni holding Marika’s head in her hands feels like she’s saying, “you were my enemy. But there is no worse fate in this world than what you suffered. Now, you can be truly free."

the funniest possible thing that could happen is if mercedes keeps hiring childhood best friends for their team and everybody's holding their breath waiting for them to tear each other apart like brocedes except it doesn't happen bc everyone else is normal about each other and brocedes is just that fucked up that they would've torn each other apart even if they were on different teams

gollum is a little freak but I genuinely get so upset thinking about him because we know that was still a lil freaky even before he and deagól found the ring but he very well would've had the opportunity to have a good live and BE good if they hadn't. and no matter what happened afterward, he couldn't go back home. even if he confessed to his crime he very likely would've still been kicked out of his community, or at the very least socially shunned to the point where he might as well just leave anyway. the ring would've consumed him no matter what, and for no fault of his own (or at the least, no faults that would ever warrant some cosmic punishment amounting to what the ring Did to him). by the time Bilbo found him he was far, FAR past the normal lifespan of a Hobbit. After the Ring was destroyed Bilbo began deteriorating at 130, and he had only beaten the current record for the longest Hobbit lifespan by a single year. Gollum was at LEAST 3x older than that. Very likely more. No matter what happened—even if Sam was a little kinder, Faramir was a little gentler, or Frodo was able to fully reach "Smeagól" in the way he so desperately wanted to, even if he helped destroy the Ring himself, or he didn't fall into the fire—Gollum would've died with the Ring. Even if the Quest FAILED and Gollum successfully claimed the Ring like he wanted, he STILL would've died (because Sauron would have never let him hold on to that thing for hundreds of years again, if his body could've even handled that). There is no reality where Smeagól would have a happy ending, whether he was "redeemed" or not. Yet all of it was such a fundemental factor in the success of the Quest (and even Bilbo's success during the Quest of Erebor). Definition of Doomed by the narrative

Wukong reached for the red ribbon atop Macaque’s head. Macaque squawked in surprise, but by then, Wukong had already wound the ribbon around Macaque’s middle finger multiple times. “What are you doing?” Wukong wound the other half of the ribbon around his own middle finger on the opposite hand. He knotted both ends of the ribbon so that it was secure. There was a generous length of ribbon between them still, enough that Wukong could lose sight of Macaque, but the ribbon would keep them together.

He just wants to stay with you, Mac....
