Two planets sextile each other with both quincunx to a third apex planet, creating a sense of fated mission or destined purpose.
The Yod, named for the Hebrew letter meaning 'hand of God,' is formed by two planets in sextile (60 degrees) that both form quincunxes (150 degrees) to a third apex planet. This configuration creates a persistent sense of special purpose or unavoidable destiny focused on the apex planet. The quincunx aspects produce constant adjustment and redirection, as though an unseen hand keeps steering you back to a particular path regardless of resistance.
TriAstra detects Yod patterns and highlights them as indicators of fated life direction, noting the apex planet's house and sign as a key destiny point.
A Yod in your chart suggests a life area where you feel compelled by fate. The apex planet and its house show where your sense of special purpose is focused.
