Grand trines are tricky things. They bequeath good fortune, but they also bestow protection; the idea being that when you’re blessed with good fortune then you immediately become a target for those people or forces who covet, resent, or hunger after what you have. Usually we think that we can protect ourselves, but the fact that a grand trine shows up warns that the danger we face is greater than normal. You may discover that your stratagems were made out of straw or that your wooden maneuvers weren’t up to snuff against a big bad wolf intent on huffing and puffing and blowing your house down. Thank heavens the grand trine in earth on Aug. 25 will provide just the brick house you need to withstand this assault and prove that your foundation is stronger than even you know.
