^Grand trines can end up inclining people towards superficiality, because trines are somewhat about the ability to skate through areas where others have to work. I personally don't count the mc or the asc as points for grand trines, if I did I would also count the dec and IC. There is so much potential info in a chart that everyone who does it a while starts making some exclusions. Aspects to those four significant points are considered important by others. Just giving you how I do things and also that I'm mostly glad I don't have any tight orb grand trines.
An out of sign fairly tight orb grand trine involving Sun, Moon, Neptune, Jupiter (only one out of sign), North Node, and Mars??
I'd put Jupiter back in Leo a day in my natal chart, but it is doing just fine in 12th.
Neptune hits my IC in my grand trine. I will count the angles as is situation-dependent - I really can't ignore prominent aspects to the angles. Likewise with the asteroids. Lilith at 1 Libra on a 29 degree Virgo ascendant is prominent, for example.
I'm getting the shit smacked out of my angles and Uranus smacking my descendant, which is less than a degree from the Aries Point. I am creatively blocked and emotional, but that damn natal Neptune on my IC is helping me function and ironically I haven't been abusing anything really. That transiting Uranus square is not living up to its potential

"As above, so below" is a quote from Alan Oken that basically sums up astrology for me.
I need to get to the rest of this when it's not such a busy time. I want to see some of these charts in alternative chart systems that shift the houses a bit. In the meantime, my Saturn Return has fucked off, I don't think it will be retrograding again, and I'll gladly wait another 29 years for my next.
