Trines and Sextiles are often favoured in astrology as the common description is that they are beneficial and point towards to inherent talents.
Truth to these aspects is that they may help one express parts of the personality cohesively, it often manifests as what one perceives as a talent, though that doesn’t not mean the talent is used.
The nature of squares provides friction and a drive to release the energy through action, where the energies between Trines and Sextiles can be so harmonious, their benefits are often left to waste.
Another downfall to these aspects is that because one has these inherent abilities (which are refined through practice like any skill), they may not understand another one someone else can not engage in the same skill and process as they can.
This can lead to a sense of being admired by others, though one’s humble nature causes them to want to retreat and their natural abilities, due to shying away from the feeling of glorification.
Or
They may feel alienated from others because their inherent ease of doing something makes them feel disconnected from those who don’t possess the same inherent ability.
…
The ultimate down fall to easy aspects is simply that there is little to no friction between planetary energies.
This means that depending on the planets involved, the ease of planetary energies being exchanged can manifest as something less than favourable, due to the lack of friction to prevent or challenge something from happening.
Example:
Moon Square Neptune may cause a native to be overly sensitive to the energies of others and may provoke a victimisation tendency when feeling emotionally distraught.
Moon Trine Neptune may not fall into the trap of victimising the self, but their receptivity to others still runs on an absolute high, so much so they may have psychic inclinations but may disregard them as normal phenomena.
This is because they don’t recognise the difference between their ability to revive empathetic information, assuming others experience the same, while the Square person knows that how they feel isn’t experienced by all, causing them to be distraught.
…
It’s always important to remember that there are positives and negatives to all aspects to astrology, and though it’s common to define these things as ‘good’
Or ‘bad’, it’s simply due to the nature as humans to do what’s easy.
What’s easy is giving up to squares and ignoring Trines.
Astrology is the key tool to unlocking all image potentials in a natal chart, and it’s up to you to let the universe manifest things for you, or for you to take conscious action into creating your own reality.
This is the Law of Free Will.

I admire the stance of the fire element, that attitude of this is my life and I’m the one at the reins. Fate trembles at their will.
