http://astrologyking.com/yod/ As explained in the above article (boomerang paragraph), the reaction point of a Yod is opposite it's apex planet. And the author of the article asserts that a planet at the reaction point of a Yod gives it a focus which it otherwise does not have. Does any member have experience of how a planet at the reaction point has manifested in their life? IP: Logged |

Currently, the best explanation I have seen of the difference between a focused and unfocused Yod is that of the Hubers in Aspect Pattern Astrology. ... They call Focused Yods a "Striving Figure" and Unfocused Yods a "Projection Figure" - which seems to be a good summariy of the difference.IP: Logged |

I suspect those with an Unfocused Yod in their natal chart are likely to experience at least one relationship with someone who has a natal planet which makes that a Focused Yod. ... And my guess is such relationships will be a significant learning opportunity for both people.Moreover, I am wondering if ALL isosceles triangle configurations might behave in a similar way to the Yod.

Winston Churchill (UK Wartime PM/Leader) has a focused yod in his astrodatabank natal Placidus chart.It has determined Pluto in unmovable Taurus/8th house (of other people's values) at the apex ... Venus in inspirational Sagittarius/3rd house (of communications) ... Mars/Jupiter mid-point in communicative Libra/1st house (of personality) ... and wordsmith Mercury in passionate Scorpio/2nd house (of personal values) at the reaction point of the focused Yod. Churchill's Mercury/Educational and speech issues during childhood are well documented. ... Yet, he became the man whose speeches inspired Britain to stand alone against Germany after being driven into the sea at Dunkirk in 1940. IP: Logged |

That makes sense and yes perhaps release points for Tsquares, Yods, poleaxes, thor's hammers ect give the planetary pattern focus. IP: Logged |

And, very significant release points IF - as the article asserts - they initially create difficulties, which become strengths via the unfolding process of time+experience(s).

The Astrodatabank natal Placidus chart of Albert Einstein also contains a focused Yod ... but it is not immediately apparent, because it involves the midpoints of his Sun/Mercury/Saturn and Mars/NorthNode :-Sun/Mercury/Saturn Midpoint = 0Pisces17 : Mars/NN Midpoint = 29Capricorn11 : Uranus yod apex = 01Virgo17 : Jupiter release point = 27Aquarius29. Here, Jupiter is the traditional ruler of his Pisces MC. ... And Einstein was dismissed in childhood as a "hopeless daydreamer" by his teachers. ... Yet, his imagination (as an adult) was the key factor in his subsequent discovery of the theory of relativity. IP: Logged |

In Aspect Pattern Astrology, the Hubers example of a Focused Yod/"Striving Figure" is the 22.10pm Astrobank natal Placidus Chart of Franz Joseph Strauss. ... Wikipedia lists him as "the long-time chairman of the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) from 1961 until 1988, member of the federal cabinet in different positions between 1953 and 1969 and minister-president of the state of Bavaria from 1978 until 1988." ... And describes his legacy as "Strauss shaped post-war Bavaria and polarized the public like few others. He was an articulate leader of conservatives and a skilled rhetorician. His outspoken right-leaning political standpoints made him an opponent of more moderate politicians and the entire political left. His association with several large-scale scandals made many politicians distance themselves from him. His policies contributed to changing Bavaria from an agrarian state to one of Germany's leading industry centres, and one of the wealthiest regions of Germany."His Yod consists of Mars/Saturn midpoint in Cancer/2nd; Sun/Venus midpoint in Virgo/5th; apex Uranus in Aquarius/10th and reaction-point Moon in Leo/4th. No useful information is given about his early years, but he was born in Germany on 6th September 1915 - some 14 months after the start of World War I and only 24 years before the start of World War II. ... So, he was only 4 years old when the June 1919 Treaty of Versailles imposed terms that led to great resentment in Germany - and powered the rise of the Nazi Party. ... Hence, we can speculate that his Moon in Leo/4th (and at the apex of his Mars-Saturn-Moon-Sun-Venus "eye" configuration) produced emotions that are likely to have been very difficult to handle during childhood and adolescence. Yet ... that Moon ultimately made him so popular that he was the Minister-President of Bavaria for 10 years, and chairman of his political party for 27. IP: Logged |

It looks like I have a focused yod in my chart but it could be generational. Also, I’m not sure if it counts because the angles are a little wide. I have Pluto and Neptune as base, Chiron as the apex, Saturn opposing (6 degrees) the Chiron. I also have another yod (not focused) but this one involves MC and vertex as a base and three planet stellium as the apex. The angles are pretty tight with this one though I’m not sure if MC and vertex can be included for yod formation. I have no idea how these yods (or if I can even count these as yods...) influence my natal chart. One thing I can relate is the Saturn-Chiron opposition because it feels like that’s the theme of my life so far. There’s a lot of pain which led to learning about myself and self-disciplining. That three planet stellium also squares the Saturn so I could also be why I feel the Saturn a lot. IP: Logged |

A good example.I also wonder if Yod can include Lilith, vertex, nodes, Juno.
