I am doing a chart with a Yod. I am going to research it, as I have not really explored the Yod. I know it is very important. I would love my ace astrology friends to give me their personal experiences with Yods.
Thanks so much!

Yes, I know the shape but not the meaning, as it is quite significant. Thanks, Sand Sweetie

If each point of the yod was traced across an astrological chart, it would appear as a "Y" shape on any axis. The two planets in sextile are in a complementary relationship, whilst the quincunxed planet is completely incompatible with the sextile planets, sharing neither gender, element, or mode (though the ruler of the planet and house should be also considered). This aspect activates either a powerful conduit of energy, or a deeply-felt block, in the direction of the quincunxed planet. The quincunxed planet is pulling in an opposite direction from the other two in a harmonious sextile, so close attention with other aspects, houses, planet, rulers, and chart locations must all be examined.

According to astrology, raised or multi-aspected planets within the yod can produce unusual situations and personalities, and should therefore be carefully examined. One possible approach is for an individual to view the yod as an exchange of positive forces around a mediating middle (though oppositional) planet. The quincunxed planet will either act as a conduit of energy, or as a profound and deeply-felt block. This aspect can produce a heightened direction of energy in the chart which may also oscillate between bifurcated states or situated personalities. A planetary opposition to the quincunxed planet of the yod can be malefic, or can produce situations of dramatic reversal.

Hypothetical example

A hypothetical example of a yod would be with Jupiter at 11° Pisces quincunxing Mars at 11° Leo and the Sun at 11° Libra. The conflict arises between the worldly, sociable character of Leo and Libra which tend to seek inspiration in the world, versus the introverted, unworldly character of Pisces which is too sensitive to be able to cope with worldly life and aims to work in the background serving others. These energies do not interact and hence this hypothetical native would possess great difficulty making the choice between serving others and seeking inspiration on the social stage[2]. Another interpretation of this example may be that of the mystic or performer who engages in contemplative activity in public view. Any interpretation however, without considering the whole chart, must be cautioned.

Note in the example above that Jupiter is in a female sign, while the Sun and Mars are both in male signs. Jupiter is also in a mutable water sign, while the Sun is in a cardinal air sign and Mars in a fixed fire sign. Jupiter shares neither gender, element, or mode with the two planets that aspect it in quincunx. This complete lack of commonality of Jupiter to the two sextile planets illustrates how the Yod triggers an irritating situation that can only be overcome through adaptation and discovering of new paths. If there are no other aspect outlets to Jupiter (such as forming a trine or sextile to another planet), a transiting planet in opposition to Jupiter and conjunct the Midpoint of the sextile planets can trigger major life events which are difficult to handle and take great creativity to overcome. It is for this that the Yod is often called the "Finger of God", for it takes great initiatve and fortitude to overcome the limitations created by the Yod, but great rewards can result when done so.

person with a Yod will have a difficult time with this frazzling and neurotic energy, especially earlier in life.

The energy of the two planets in sextile is focused like a laser beam on the action point, in this case Jupiter( the point of the triangle) A sextile is a positive aspect that creates energy. The quincunxes take this heightened energy and raise the vibration even further. The action point planet then comes under incredible stress and tension and must release it somehow. Individuals with this Yod pattern will experience this as continual buildup then release of tensio

This life the skills are to be perfected and used in a constructive, selfless way to benefit others. The skills are shown by the sextile planets, the challenges through the quincunxes, and the mission or task through the apex planet

This is what I have so far:


The mission is the planet at the point of the triangle--the planet at the end of the point. The sextile is easy. The quincunxes are hard. The end planet must modify itself. The Yod 's purpose is service to others.

Alan J. Ouimet quotes the astrologer Bil Tierney (Dynamics of Aspect Analysis), describing the Yod as “arriving at a fork in the road and having to proceed in one direction rather than another without knowing where it will lead to…activation of the Yod will cause the dropping, or psychologically letting go, of certain interests and habits in order to become involved in what is showing on the horizon“. Regarding the “fork in the road”, if you take a direction other than the one God has chosen for you, then the universe is likely to give you a kick in the pants. The further you stray from the destined path, the harder the kick.

I have one :
Venus(7th house) Sextile Mars (5th house)
Venus quincunx Jupiter and Mars quincunx jupiter
I also have a sun,Uranus conjunction which opposes Jupiter. If you have specific questions, I'll try and answer you the best way I can.
Yods are very difficult to understand for me. I believe there is a lesson to learn for the yod person.

That would be me...yod between moon in Gemini (1st) Saturn in Leo (4th) and sun in Capricorn (9th). All within 2° orbs of each other.

One of my clients has a Yod and many other interesting chart shapes, so I am having to really educate myself, as I do her chart. It is all falling together, Thank Goodness. The Yod is fascinating!

Yes, I agree this is really good info here!

My chart only has a yod and no other shape. To me it feels like a constant struggle.
planets in quincunx always need to be adjusted. But it seems that no matter what, it doesn't work, I'm either on one side or the other. I definitely feel like I can't make them work together. It is surely because the planets involved are in signs that have nothing in common.
I believe the life purpose of a yod person is to find a way to make it work. The yod is extremely challenging, even more so than a square (because planets in square at least share the same modality). Also I believe that unlike other hard aspects such as opposition or square where the person is forced to struggle and to create balance between them, the quincunx aspect can be felt or not. I definitely feel like sometimes I don't try and make my quincunx planets work together. It's a bit like they're strangers to each other and and the only connection they have (indicated by the quincunx) is one of "I don't understand you, so why make it work?" so they sort of function on their own. And I guess that's where "fate" or "destiny" kicks in. If you don't try to make your quincunx work, someway, somehow, then something will happen that will challenge you and make you do it. I think that is what they mean when talking about transiting planets triggering the apex planet.
I think that's why it's called the finger of God. Even if you have the possibility to leave the apex planet alone and not use it or if don't include it in your overall behavior (especially if the quincunxes are the only aspects it makes) then, fate will force you to acknowledge it and to integrate it.

Good info UEH
I don't have a Yod, so can't really appreciate how hard it must be, but I am helping my client with it, so that is good.
I am breaking down the 2 quincunx's and the sextile. Then, I am seeing how the houses play into it.
The planet at the apex must change to accomodate the quincunx's. So, it is opening up to me. Thank Goodness. I have always felt kind of intimidated by chart shapes
This woman has a kite and a star of David( which one part missing) so I will be back to do threads on those.
On the star of David, we are going to try to find an asteroid that fits into the missing part. This should be interesting. I will keep you posted.

I will summarize what I learned so far. Anyone, please add to this( or correct me)

You have to look at the sextile. What does that entail--planet and house?
You look at each quincunx. What is the problem that the quincunx is expressing?
You have to look at the planets in each quincunx and the houses.

Then, you go to the planet at the point of the triangle. This planet must do the accomodating. It is all about this planet. It will do it's thing, in the house in which it resides. It will do it's thing based on the nature of the planet. Everything points to the planet at the point of the Yod. It will be forced to really re-invent itself to learn the lessons of each of the quincunxes.

Yods are very difficult to understand for me. I believe there is a lesson to learn for the yod person.

with that Sun/ Uranus opposition to Jupiter, it sounds like you might actually have what's called a boomerang configuration. That's a Yod plus an opposition to the apex pointer in the Yod.

a star of David, a yod and a kite, this must be a very interesting chart!

One way I try to better understand chart shapes is by looking at midpoint pictures when there are some. For example a yod is actually the apex planet opposing the quincunxed planets midpoint. I'm not sure if it is the right way to look at it, because it doesn't give info as to how the shape actually works in itself but I find them quite enlightening.

Thanks for telling me . I didn't know about it. It's interesting that it's called a boomerang, certainly then, in such a configuration the apex planet doesn't become the sole and only focus.
