Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing, and I stumbled upon something called “natal Sun trine Jupiter.” Sounds fancy, right? I had to figure out what it meant for me, personally, so I started this whole process.
First, I needed my birth chart. There are a bunch of websites where you can get it for free, you just need your birth date, time, and place. Pretty straightforward. I punched in my details and bam, there it was, my birth chart, looking like a complicated pizza with all sorts of symbols.
Then, I had to find the Sun and Jupiter in my chart. The Sun is easy, it’s the big circle with a dot in the middle. Jupiter looks like a little 4. Scanning around the chart, I finally located both of them.
Now, the “trine” part. Apparently, that means they’re supposed to be about 120 degrees apart. I didn’t get out a protractor or anything, I just eyeballed it. Think of the chart as a clock. If one’s at 12, the other should be around 4, or 8, to be a trine. There are little lines that can show the degrees to be more exact, I looked closer at the chart, finding the line between the sun and jupiter, with the number.
I checked mine, and yep, they were pretty much in that position, about that degree apart! So, I do have a Sun trine Jupiter in my natal chart.
Next, I had to figure out what that actually means. So, it’s time for some online research. I read a bunch of articles and forum posts. Some were super technical, but others were easier to understand.
Basically, from what I gathered, Sun trine Jupiter is supposed to be a good thing. It can mean things like optimism, good luck, opportunities, and a generally positive outlook on life. People with this aspect might be drawn to learning, travel, or philosophy.
I spent a good few hours just reading and absorbing all this information, trying to see how it resonated with my own life experiences.
Finally, I took some time to reflect. Do I feel like a generally lucky person? Do I enjoy learning new things? Am I optimistic? I jotted down some thoughts in my journal, connecting the dots between what I read and what I felt to be true about myself. It was a cool little self-discovery exercise.
