Here's just a little information about trines. The trine indicates aspects that are 120 degrees apart, and commonly connects planets in signs of the same element. It is a fundamentally free-flowing, harmonious aspect. Planets in trine thus reveal aptitudes that find their expression through little conscious effort- the energies are so well integrated that the individual is instinctively attuned to them. The trine shows our innate talents, what we enjoy, and what gives us pleasure; we do not need to question those things described by these compatible energies. And by doing things that we delight in, we feel revitalized and good about ourselves. However, we actually need some challenges in order not to become complacent; and the ease with which these energies flow can result in a lack of dynamism, laziness, and a reluctance to bring issues out into the open.

So a chart with many trines (obviously dependent upon what houses/planets/signs they are in to determine where the effect will be) could indicate a stagnant personality, or an individual who is not reaching their full potential and rather ''coasts'' through this incarnation.

I had no idea either of you were... I'm not too observant!

It was a book by a couple- husband and wife... I think she was a Cancer... it's very big- usually very reliable... although I must admit, I was kind of shocked when I read that! It actually said something like they didn't 'find them to be very nice people'... I'll look up what book it is or get a quote... but I don't have it with me now....
