Minor grand trine

In astrology, a minor grand trine occurs when one planet or celestial body forms a trine to another planet, and another planet is posited at the midpoint of the two planets so as to create two sextile aspects between the two planets.

The planet at the midpoint of the trine helps to facilitate the natural energy that is inherent within the trine, therefore enabling the native to be more conscious of the opportunities that will naturally be presented to him. This aspect gives the native an extra measure of intelligence and objectivity, which will help him to present his abilities to others in a more competent manner. It also instills in the native a clear ability to communicate effectively to others, a skill that he will inevitably need to be a success in life.

In many ways the minor grand trine can be considered to be more beneficial to the native than the grand trine because it is less stagnant, thereby enabling the native to act upon the opportunities that will be presented to him.
