Yod (astrology) - Astrological Chart

Astrological Chart

If each point of the yod was traced towards a central point on an astrological chart, they would together form a "Y" shape. The two planets in sextile (60° apart) complement each other and are in harmony. The focal planet in quincunx (150° apart) with the other two planets is completely incompatible, sharing neither gender (masculine/assertive or feminine/receptive), element (fire, water, air, or earth), or modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable). This aspect activates either a powerful conduit of energy, or a deeply-felt block, in the direction of the quincunxed planet. The focal 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. House placements should be also considered when interpreting a yod.
