Posted by ManilaVice
i think theyre too far from each other
what? my moon and venus? i still have a yod even if you drop one.. i didn't put the green dashes in, astro.com did.
ohhhhhhh okay and here i thought i was special with the finger of god! 😭
Why would astro show it then? I got all ecxited for NOTHING!
@littlemegabyte I think you do have one.. but i am not 100% on these..
i haven't seen anything about the 1 - 1.5 degree thing that Ands mentioned. @tiziani is the one that mentioned the Yod in my chart to me a few months back.. hence why i started researching it. I really hate pestering him for all his astro knowledge... I'm learning what i can about this stuff on my own until i get stumped. Hence the thread!
What i came across : Yod is a rare astrological aspect that involves any three planets or points in the horoscope that form an isoceles triangle. This phenomenon occurs when two planets are sextile (60° aspect) to each other, and both are then quincunx (150° aspect) to a third.

I have one in synastry with my sister. And this guy I had a crush on.
Do they apply in synastry? i have read conflicting info on that..
if they do, i have one with someone and would love any site that could give more details on them.

Lol yessssssssssssss:Yod Bearers are driven people, haunted by the Finger of Fate to find the special purpose in life for which they have been chosen. A Yod Bearer’s search for his or her special purpose is like a quest for a personal Holy Grail.
I need to know if I am haunted by the Finger of Fate.
I wonder if Astrology is my holy grail! 😛

this part was what got me confussed TBH.. so since saturn 6th is the apex ( i think it is) it's my opposite so 12th?
Here I read the orb must be up to 2.
if that were not true I had a yod pointing at change and dominance. Uranus and Pluto, the Scorp ha it with Saturn in Aries, our synastry had it at Mars & Jupiter in Virgo and finally our Kombin had it in Venus in Aries in the 9th house (opposite house were 2nd: self-growth and material gaining)
Changes as well as power struggles have of course been building my fate (but also higher learning). As bondage, drive and goal.
"The orbs for a Yod are usually four degrees for the sextile and three for the quincunx."
"The orb of 5 degrees for the Jupiter Uranus quincunx is probably too wide to make it a yod pattern through. "
"I typically use a 2.5* orb for the quincunx and 5* orb for sextiles. However, according to Joan Kellogg and my agreeing intuition, if it feels like a quincunx and its working like a quincunx in your life, it is a quincunx even if the orb is bigger."

"feels like a qunicunx"
wait, what? lol
"The outside orb for a YOD is 2 degrees, unless it makes up a midpoint structure, in which case it can stretch to 2 degrees 30 minutes."
"The orb for the YOD is 7-8 degrees for the Sun and Moon; 5-6 degrees for the other planets."
"Because the quincunx is a minor aspect, the orb must be tighter than the Ptolemy aspects. The orb for the quincunx must not be more than 2°. "

"A quincunx is a 150° angle (8° "orb" or less). In medical astrology, the orb is said to be (2° to 5° degrees)"

Lol thanks for all the info Dwelling! I googled for 3 days and only came across limited repeated info.. Granted I didn't try super hard to dig deep!
I'm still confussed but when I get home I will read the links 🙂

HEEEEELPPP! 🙂
I have a few questions about Yods. I have been trying to do some research online and have not found much information out there about Yods.
I have one in my natal chart and I am struggling with finding out more precise details.
It involves
Libra Uranus 13° (r) in 11th
Satrun Taurus 15° in 6th
and moon16°24 and venus 15°57 in Sag 1st. ( Moon and Venus are conjuct), it might just be one of those, but i think it's both.
Saturn is the focal point from what i have gathered.. but i also read something about the opposing spot in the chart is the focus? so the 12th house? I read also that the slower moving plants may not be used in these, which Saturn woudl apply? Why does it show a yod then?
I get that there are things/events/transits that can trigger it.. i just am looking for more details, perhaps it just isn't available.
2nd part of this. what does it mean to have a yod in a synastry chart? I found some info on composite charts with yods but not synastry.. is it just tossed out?
