In this example, Mercury is in Taurus, the Sun is in Virgo and Mars is in Capricorn. Here is the relationship that is so grounded it seems to be made from concrete. If a Grand Water Trine is emotionally binding, a Grand Earth Trine is binding, period. What was comforting can easily become stagnant. The Moon in Pisces (fantasy) hooked into Saturn (reality) can mean that this couple creates their own dream world. The trine to Venus in possessive Scorpio can indicate controlling and/or exclusive love for each other. The restrictive qualities of Saturn combine with sheltering Cancer to provide a bulwark against the outside world. Saturn in Cancer can give the relationship an “us against them” attitude. Let’s say the trine consists of composite Saturn in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio and Moon in Pisces. They not only share each other’s joy and pain, they are each other’s joy and pain. This couple is so emotionally connected they can draw complete sustenance from each other.
Think of a cross between an oasis and a whirlpool. Energy in a trine follows the path of least resistance, so a stable but repetitive cycle dominates the entire relationship. This sounds ideal, but the inherent harmony can become too much of a good thing. A magnetic, closed circuit of energy is created and the resulting relationship can become an island for two people.
