Grand Fire Trine

It's about time to take a look at those with Grand Fire Trines. I remembered an example of a Grand Fire Trine this morning, and he really is the best example to begin with. It must be damn good having a FIRE grand trine because this man cannot stop smiling and singing it's a Wonderful World. Yep, it's Louis Armstrong and his contagious smile. Mr Louis Armstrong actually had a kite formation in his chart. This is just really an extension of a grand trine but seems to anchor the direction of the trine. The grand trine is formed with Sun in Leo, Moon in Aries and Uranus in Sagittarius. The Sun in Leo is in the 5th house and represents creativity, drama and his need to be recognized as special. He has been described as having a charismatic personality, and he needs to shine in his field of work.

Fire signs are natural born enthusiasts, and they are burning with energy and highly motivated; they are always on the look out for future possibilities. People who lack fire have been described as missing that energy and vitality that comes with ease under the fiery trigon. The grand fire trine in his chart also lights up his Ascendant and his whole approach to life was positive. Not that he wasn't prone to depressive moods with his Moon in Aries square a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Capricorn, this may be something that he contended with. He did marry four times and once to a prostitute and perhaps his wifey/s symbolised a more down to earth type.  I think he did have creativity in abundance with his Grand Fire Trine and psychologically regarding Jung's typology method, fire is intuitive and there is a certain amount of divinity within them. Louis Armstrong was known to be very generous in nature and he loved children and enjoyed entertaining them. Inside he had a childlike spirit himself and fire signs have a wonder about life that may escape the rest of us. Not all fire signs are outwardly confident and we can have extroverted and introverted fire; the extroverted kind tends to approach life with confidence and treat it as one big adventure; they may love travelling, sports and taking risks. The trouble with fire is that they sometimes have difficulty in dealing with the practicalities of life. Details are boring to fire and slow down their vision, and who wants to be weighted by necessity. Introverted fire can represent great philosophers, artists and visionariies that inspire us to be greater.
