Yod

Also called Finger of God

Two planets in sextile, both quincunx (150°) a third, the apex.

Modern astrologers read the yod as a point of adjustment or special focus. The dramatic nickname is not a claim this site makes.

How it is worked out
A sextile within orb, and a third body 150° (±3°) from both. The quincunx is used only inside this pattern.
  • Kind: Calculation, Interpretation
  • Tradition: Modern Western astrology
