A program (runs on Windows) which is good for finding aspect patterns (including grand trines) is https://www.planetary-aspects.com/pat/pat.htm A screenshot from this program is attached, showing a grand trine in green, Mars-Saturn-Uranus on Sept. 14, 2001; with the Moon they form a kite aspect.

Starting at 9 am EDT the Dow-Jones Index dropped 1000 points. It is interesting to compare the geocentric and heliocentric planetary aspects for this time. The following charts were made using the software described here. The geocentric chart shows a grand trine (Moon-Venus-Uranus): The...

The two images (charts) in the post above were displayed OK when this post was first put up, but not now (at least, I don't see them). They remain in their original locations. Something strange here. Here are the URLs, not using the [IMG] tag...

The PAT software can be used to find dates of exact transits. A good example is the date of Uranus forming a square aspect to VVP's natal Uranus. First his (geocentric) natal chart. Note that he has a rare 4-stellium, Sun-Mercury-Saturn-Neptune, with Uranus square to all four planets...

A Uranus return is when Uranus returns to the position it holds in your natal chart. Most people don't live to see their Uranus return, but a lot do. For example, Sir Isaac Newton. Newton was born on 4 Jan 1643 (Gregorian Calendar), at which time Uranus was at 15 Scorpio 40. It returned to...

I have recently released software entitled 'Heliocentric Planetary Aspects and Transits' (HPAT), which is a heliocentric version of my older 'Planetary Aspects and Transits' software. These two programs (which were inspired by the work of Richard Tarnas) are described at PAT...

A 20-day personal planetary transits forecast at http://www.planetary-aspects.com/opt2/main.php enables you to obtain a list of the start dates and end dates of all personal planetary transits (for aspects conjunction, opposition, square, trine and sextile) during the next 20 days for a given...

I saved the image of the 5 yods and since it has now been replaced by another I reproduce it here:

The Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus get together (in Aries) in late March, and with Jupiter and Saturn they form four yods. A fifth yod is formed by Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. You can see an image of this at this page: http://www.planetary-aspects.com/curr_asp/curr_posns.php I expect this image...

I note that there has been no mention in this thread of the T-square currently formed by Venus, Pluto and Uranus. Here is the PAT chart showing the planetary alignments at 5 p.m. EST on November 1, when the Venus-Uranus opposition was exact. With an orb of 9° for oppositions and 7° for...

I cannot find that with the software I have at hand. It would have to be done by means of a program written specifically for that purpose. Not very difficult, I suspect, but also not easy, and not something that could be done between breakfast and dinner. But an obstacle is that the...

Both conjunction and opposition are "axial" alignments, so one could have an axial alignment of all the planets if they were all pairwise either conjunct or opposite (allowing a generous orb for these two aspects). It would take a little work to discover whether this has occurred within the...

Richard Tarnas discusses the triple conjunction of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in the Axial Age in his book Cosmos & Psyche. During 1600-2100 Neptune and Pluto become conjunct in just one period of a couple of decades. Three 12°-conjunctions occurred from 1882 to 1902. Here is the transit...

Here's an instance (I suppose it is extremely rare) where the Sun, Moon and five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus and Neptune) are all pairwise conjunct -- actually at the time shown the maximum pairwise separation is 8°50'. Also they are all in Capricorn.

One approach to looking at the Obama-Romney presidential contest is to look at their personal transits on election day. Since there are more or less, depending on the value chosen for the orbs, I reduced the number to just a few by considering only the transiting-planet/natal-planet aspects...
