Uranus in Pisces trined Pluto in Cancer for much of the 1920s, and comparable windows recur across the long cycle. Everyone born in one has the aspect. It should be introduced as what it is, a description of a period in which drastic change met deep force and the two agreed, and only then read for the individual. The flow is genuine. Where this trine touches a life, the native can institute a fundamental change in some department and meet remarkably little internal resistance while doing it.
Because it is easy and because everyone nearby has it too, the trait is almost never developed on purpose. Such natives change what needs changing and then cannot say how, which makes them unreliable guides for anyone attempting the same thing with harder aspects. They also tend to underestimate what change costs other people, having paid so little for it themselves. The house is where to look for evidence. In the eighth, an unremarkable competence with crisis and inheritance. In the twelfth, a capacity for solitary reconstruction nobody witnesses.
A personal planet on either end brings it into daily reach, and it is worth knowing which. Venus gives attachments that survive drastic revision. The Moon gives an emotional constitution that repairs itself after events that would flatten others. The Sun makes reinvention the theme of the biography rather than an occasional feature of it. Without such a contact, this trine remains a reserve the native never draws on, evident only in the fact that upheavals which shake their contemporaries seem, to them, survivable.
