I count mine. Moon-Neptune-NN...two water planets, all in water signs, in air houses.

Emotional and intuitive? Internally, yes. Externally, definitely more air-like.

Hi, the planets are working together to produce harmony when they are in a grand trine. None of them is dominant. Grand trines are always beneficial unless they aren't energized by other items. They are sometime catalysts, sometime dissipators.

I personally wouldn't use the nodes when considering these configurations...but maybe the angles.

Well, since we're indulging in a bit of thread necromancy...

I count mine using the Asc. It's probably not the same as using 3 planets. But when planets transit my Asc and complete the trine, it's noticeable. As in I knew the third week of October was a crazy time in my life before I understood astrology to see the cause. I think the combination of the Asc placed there and the completion of my venus-saturn trine together are stronger than either alone.

Before I knew astrology.

Sooner or later I'm going to ask to see a picture of you, Faith. That sounds like quite the combo.

An interesting detail though is that my figurative writing is better stirred and inspired when I'm writing something more in saturns realm I.e a letter, highly formal text, essay. If I start off writing in a more formal manner in even a poem or piece of fiction, the figurative starts to bubble up in a way that's very joyful to me. It's as if the three corners are holding each other together and if not all employed, the other points are weakened. Or I have to make one of the other aspects jealous for it to awaken.
