From examining my chart, it looks like Chiron is making an exact iscoceles triangle (by minutes!) with Neptune in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. I think that Neptune and Pluto are involved in a sextile (I hope that's the word!) In addition, it appears it is also involved in a square with Moon in Aquarius, and an opposition with Uranus in Scorpio. However, it makes a lovely trine with my Sun. Although with the "wound" aspect of Chiron, I'm not sure whether this bodes well or not.

Hello Samandra81,

The triangle you described is called a Yod which if you search here you'll find other threads about them. Basically the point planet at the top of the triangle is called the "Focal Planet" which here is Chiron in Taurus. It is in a challenging aspect of 150° or 5 signs called a quincunx, a disjunction or an inconjunct so don't be surprised by the many names as long as you see they all refer to the 150° aspect.

You are blessed to have this in a softer place with Pluto because the signs Taurus and Libra each have affinity for one another through their common ruler of Venus. This is probably the easiest placement of inconjunctions. Although this aspect by itself can be difficult and a novice might think that two of them together might "gang up" on you, it actually provides you with an easier way to manage the tension through the sextile created by the planets at the "Base" of the triangle called a Yod. After the Uranian energy is include by opposition it is then called a "Boomerang" and perhaps what I've recently heard referred to as a "Golden Triangle". Not sure on the GT but the Boomerang I'm familiar with. The small triangle formed with Uranus bisecting your Neptune-Pluto sextile is referred to by some as a "Talent Triangle" which with this focus on Chiron in Taurus manifests the expression in the house where it is located in your natal chart. The next thing to consider is the house locations of all these planets.

If you wish to include birth data many of us prefer City name and location as opposed to lat and long lines which I've seen here in reverse order although we can figure this out as long as the North/South East/West directions are included. The only trouble is the automatic chart generators use Cities not lat/long because the expectation is that research that way isn't being done if your accessing a computer program. Give the houses or chart info and someone should speak up and help you out. I'm available via pm if no one tries but this is a great place and usually there's more than enough help sharing input.

Take Care & Be Blessed!†!
