In the past few hours today we have this rare major planetary alignment called a water grand trine. Added to it we also have two kite patterns in the same planetary alignment. That makes 8 out of 10 heavenly bodies are all aligned simultaneously (including sun moon and Pluto as heavenly bodies in our solar system).
In this chart pattern we can see the trine in blue. It has been present for some months now, as it mostly involves the slower outer planets, which remain aligned for longer periods, like weeks and months. Then along come some faster moving planets to join the alignment for a few days or even just a few hours for the moon who moves much faster through the zodiac.
Today the moon joined the Saturn Neptune conjunction to create a triple conjunction aka stellium. These three made a 120 degree or trine alignment with Jupiter on one hand and Mars Mercury on the other, Jupiter is about to go stationary and retrograde in a few days, so its movement is really slow. Thus this alignment has been longer overall than usual.
Mars and Mercury make up the third point in the triangle and they move faster so this alignment with them in place is only active for a week or two.
The fact that Moon has joined just for today makes the total heavenly bodies in trine alignment up to six, including the moon. In the water signs we now have all six bodies, which is more than half of the ten usually used in astrology.
And when we then add some planets that are midway or at 60 degree alignment to the other planets. This brings Uranus and Pluto into the overall alignment, making it eight out of ten planets all aligned together in harmony.
I don't pretend to take astrology as a science. it's pure speculation, a mere oracle based on mythic symbolism, with nothing factual. It's a way to look for synchronicity or symbolism in patterns made by the planets as they align around the earth.
I do like to see patterns, like any brain, and astrology is a way that people have interpreted these patterns for millennia already. From the look of this chart today, it looks like today is a big day for something. Only the sun and Venus are not in the equation. Actually Venus is in tight square or 90 degree alignment to Jupiter, but it is not directly involved in the actual grand trine or double kite pattern that aligns the other eight planets and moon.
Since we are talking about a water grand trine, where the six planets are in water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, the theme is that of emotions, feelings, inspiration and flow. Nothing too concrete. These few months during the last quarter of 2025 will be infused with the water theme, allowing for your emotions to flow, and for creativity and inspiration to trigger emotive original creative content. It can also apparently facilitate mystical experiences or insights that are intuitive, not logical, and can also help us remember past family or ancestral influences, like the father's mood and perspective of life.
This is a great time to tap our creative potential and to tap into our deeper feelings that may have been neglected. Actually this grand trine has been exact on and off since mid 2025 already, when the slower moving planets came into alignment. Now this grand trine is being triggered again as the faster moving planets also join the trine for a few weeks at a time throughout the recent months. Today is just such a day, with eight planets all in the alignment, although Mercury is fading out of exact trine aspect.
Lots of water is inspiring me to dream big now, get lucid about my dreams and to follow my intuition. Deep introspection and vision questing, which is another form of dreaming, can play out well now. Dream it, visualize it and feel the emotions of having it, that is the way to have it now, even if just in the mind's eye. Sometimes all we have is our dreams when reality falls flat.
So this can be an emotional time, a creative time and a time to get into the flow, to channel the intuition into some creative expression, either in your relationships or simply in your artistic output. Emotion drives some of our best work as artists. Both good and bad emotion can be channeled into a healthy outlet via art.
Right now I have what feels like an emotional microphone on and my emotions are coming through louder than usual via my writing, which is usually less emotive and less personal. But now I write how I feel and not just how I think about ideas. Old ways of thinking are dissolving as new ones emerge, that feel like my father's mindset coming through as the genes operate automatically while I'm carried along by them.
Now I no longer write for money or any practical earthy reason but purely as a means of personal emotive expression and intuitive channeling of my own irrational thoughts and feelings about life. Inspiration leads rather than practicality. And also if it isn't emotionally deep, then it may not appeal right now.
As Bruce Lee, the master mystic martial artist says - be like water which can trickle or crash, yet always adapts to fit the situation in which it finds itself. Get into the flow and don't become rigid, so that you can allow the emotionally rich creative expression to manifest.
A grand trine in a birth chart, say if a child were born today, would imply loads of luck and good fortune, though it will need effort to bring it about. Rather than rest on our laurels, we need to actually make an effort to channel this natural gift, which otherwise might make us lazy as things come easily. For example O. J. Simpson was born with a water grand trine. He was so lucky that he ended up getting away with murder.
Add to this grand trine the double kite and you have a birth chart of someone who, if born today, could become very lucky in life. And today is a lucky day overall. The kite is fortunate and so today is doubly fortunate. Actually the past few days have had this double kite pattern in the heavens among the planets. It shows luck and the ability to make your luck by hard work.
We have what I call the kite surfer pattern here because it is a water trine with two kites above it. If you can harness more than one of natures elements and channel it, you can be very lucky right now during this rare alignment now in Q4 of 2025. How will it play out for you?
