Moon trine Black Moon Lilith

What these two are about together

Feeling and what will not be made acceptable. Associated with the feelings a person learned early not to show, and with what happens to them afterwards.

What a trine does

A trine puts two planets in the same element, and the tradition reads it as the easiest relationship in the chart. What the two govern agree with each other and need no negotiating. It is usually experienced as a natural facility, which is exactly why it is also the aspect most often taken for granted.

How it reads

The refusal is felt without shame. Associated with being at ease with a part of yourself that others find sharp.

In practice

Read as ability rather than luck. Trines describe what somebody can do without effort, and consequently what they may never have bothered to develop.

What to watch for

Complacency. The traditional caution about trines is that nothing here demands anything, so nothing here necessarily grows.
