“This aspect is so rare that I haven’t come across any clients with them, though I have seen one pop up in a couple’s synastry,” she says. It is composed of six planets-which means it would involve the majority of planets in someone’s chart. This configuration involves two Grand Trines in either the heavier or lighter elements. Mihas notes that another rare configuration is the Star of David. Other Rare Natal Chart Aspects Star of David In addition to the castle pattern, here are a few more examples of astrology aspects: They may find the dynamics between duality more interesting than most people. “I think elemental concentrations are often overlooked in astrology,” says Mihas, “and I notice that when people have a greater concentration of one element, then they tend to seek out others who can balance them out.”Īdditionally, Mihas explains that since castle patterns have two oppositions within them, people who have a castle pattern in their birth chart may be more inclined to seek out relationships with others who are completely different from them. On the other hand, people with Air/Fire concentration may be more spirited, cerebral, or quick-moving. Mihas notes that people with the Water/Earth concentration may be more sensual, grounded, or stability-oriented. Because of this, every castle pattern will occur with all five planets in either heavy or light elements-which brings a strong sense of concentration on either side. Sextiles occur between either the heavier elements (Water/Earth) or the lighter elements (Air/Fire). According to Mihas, “Grand Trines tend to manifest as an easy talent or flow in someone’s life, and they can make people rather self-sufficient or even ‘a law unto themselves.’” “While trines and sextiles are considered ‘easy’ aspects, the “castle pattern” also inherently contains two oppositions made by those sextiling planets,” she says, “and oppositions are considered more challenging.” Meaningīecause castle patterns can only take place in either the “heavier” elements of Earth and Water or the “lighter” elements of Air and Fire, this will dictate exactly how much significance the pattern will have in your chart.Įvery Grand Trine will occur in one of the four elements. She also notes that the configuration may actually be less easy to deal with than we might first assume. What Is a Castle Pattern?Īccording to Mihas, a castle pattern is actually quite rare-as it’s composed of a Grand Trine (3 planets 120º degrees apart) that has two sides punctuated by sextiles (60º apart). To explain what it means and why it appears in detail, we chatted with astrologer Julia Mihas for the scoop. One such configuration is called a castle pattern. Have you ever gotten a birth chart reading and recognized a strange or prominent shape in your chart? There are a number of aspects in astrology (such as square or trine), but when many of these lines come together in a significant way, it can create bold aspect configurations in the chart.
