Before I begin I would like to thank all my kind friends, who are all astrologers, for allowing me to use their charts. I do hope to make the yod seem less threatening in this article and add to your understanding of yods. But when some of my students find one of these upsetting “things” in their chart, they can become quite anxious about what this “astrological configuration” that is skulking in their horoscope is actually doing. I do teach about quincunxes and yods when I teach basic astrology. In my first astrology certificate back in the 1970s I was not taught about the quincunx or the double quincunx yod, that looks like the compass we used in our school days learning geometry in mathematics lessons. I hear people, who have never studied astrology formally, talking about configurations such as the Grand Square, a T Square, a Grand Trine or a Kite, but never “Yods.” Some astrologers do not bother using the quincunx aspect in their reports and many people and many astrology students are not familiar with the yod or the energy that the 150 degree quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect produces. Other astrological aspects follow the language of geometry and practical objects, but a yod is word that does not appear in normal English language. “What on earth is a yod?” a Facebook friend, who isn’t an astrologer, asked me recently. WHAT ON EARTH IS A YOD? THE ASTROLOGY OF YODS.
