Let’s say Mars is at 15° Aries and Jupiter at 18° Leo.

The trine aspect is exact at 120°, but these planets are 123° apart.

With a standard orb of 8° for trines, this aspect would be considered in effect, albeit not at full strength.

It’s an applying trine, as the faster planet (Mars) is coming up to the exact trine point.

Separating Example

Silver Wanderer

by Unknown

 

Night’s mirror hangs suspended,

A pearl in velvet deep,

Drawing tides of memory

From waters dark and steep.

 

Through phases waxing, waning,

She pulls at heart and soul,

A dancer through the seasons,

Each night a different role.

 

Sometimes a silver sliver,

Sometimes a golden crown,

Keeper of lovers’ secrets

As stars come floating down.

 

Ancient eyes have watched her,

And still, we dream and sigh,

As she rides eternal

Across the midnight sky.

Moon in the 12th House

Emotional Depth and Intuition

The Moon in the 12th house indicates a deep, often hidden, emotional life. You may cry at night, processing emotions in solitude. Your intuition is strong and you are sensitive to the undercurrents of your environment. You may feel a strong connection to spirituality, dreams and the unconscious mind. Emotional healing and nurturing come from solitude, introspection and connecting with your inner self.

The Moon in the 12th house creates a deeply private emotional nature. These characters may keep their feelings hidden or have difficulty expressing their emotions directly. Twelfth house Moon people often have strong intuition and may be drawn to spiritual or psychological work. Their emotional life is rich and complex, but they need regular solitude to process their feelings. They may also have a strong connection to the collective unconscious and be highly empathetic.
