The Rare Configuration of Fate, Destiny, and Spiritual Purpose
Sextile + Two Quincunx
Very Rare (5-10% of charts)
Fated Events & Purpose
The Yod, also known as the "Finger of God," is one of the rarest and most spiritually significant aspect patterns in astrology. It consists of two planets in sextile (60°) with both forming quincunx aspects (150°) to a third planet, creating an isosceles triangle that points to a specific area of destiny and spiritual purpose.
This configuration is considered highly karmic and often indicates a special mission or purpose in life. The Yod brings fated events, sudden redirections, and opportunities for spiritual growth. Those with Yods in their charts often feel a sense of being "chosen" for something special, though the path may be challenging and require significant adjustments.
A Yod requires three planets in a very specific configuration: two planets in sextile (60° apart) and both forming quincunx aspects (150°) to a third planet. The planet receiving the two quincunx aspects is called the "apex" or "focal point" and represents the area of life where destiny unfolds.
Divine Significance: The Yod is called the "Finger of God" because it appears to point directly from the heavens to a specific purpose or destiny.
The quincunx is a minor aspect that creates a sense of constant adjustment and redirection. Unlike major aspects that create clear harmony or tension, the quincunx represents areas where we must continually adapt and fine-tune our approach.
Working with a Yod requires patience, flexibility, and trust in the divine timing of your life. The Yod often brings challenges that force growth and redirect you toward your true purpose.
The apex planet is where your destiny unfolds. Pay attention to its sign, house, and any transits to this planet, as they often bring significant life events.
