Yod Activations Study
The Yod Activations Study generates an event whenever three transiting bodies form a Yod while at least one of the transiting bodies is conjunct (within orb) a natal body.
Create a Yod Activations Study
To add a new Yod Activations Study to the active workspace:
- Click Transit Studies on the menu bar.
- Click Yod Activations in the menu.
You can also create a Yod Activations Study from the toolbar by clicking the Aspect Patterns drop-down button and selecting Yod Activations.
Events Captured
A Yod Activations event occurs when three transiting bodies form a Yod (two quincunxes converging on an apex body, with the two outer bodies sextile each other) within the user-defined pattern orb, while at least one of the transiting bodies is conjunct a natal body. The activated natal body is reported alongside the three transiting bodies of the Yod.
Events Table Columns
The events table for a Yod Activations Study contains the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date Time | Date and time of the event. |
| Body1 | Name of the first body in the Yod pattern. |
| Body1 Longitude | Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of Body1. |
| Body1 Sign | Zodiac sign of Body1. |
| Body1 Latitude | Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of Body1. |
| Body1 Distance | Distance of Body1 from the coordinate origin. |
| Body1 Speed | Apparent angular speed of Body1. |
| Separation Body(1-2) | Angular separation between Body1 and Body2 (one of the quincunx legs of the Yod). |
| Body2 | Name of the second body in the Yod pattern. The apex (focal body) is exposed separately as Body4 in filter scripts. |
| Body2 Longitude | Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of Body2. |
| Body2 Sign | Zodiac sign of Body2. |
| Body2 Latitude | Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of Body2. |
| Body2 Distance | Distance of Body2 from the coordinate origin. |
| Body2 Speed | Apparent angular speed of Body2. |
| Separation Body(2-3) | Angular separation between Body2 and Body3 (the second quincunx leg). |
| Body3 | Name of the third body in the Yod pattern. |
| Body3 Longitude | Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of Body3. |
| Body3 Sign | Zodiac sign of Body3. |
| Body3 Latitude | Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of Body3. |
| Body3 Distance | Distance of Body3 from the coordinate origin. |
| Body3 Speed | Apparent angular speed of Body3. |
| Separation Body(3-1) | Angular separation between Body3 and Body1 (the closing sextile leg of the Yod). |
| Natal Body | Name of the natal body activated by the Yod pattern. |
| Natal Body Longitude | Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the natal body. |
| Natal Body Sign | Zodiac sign of the natal body. |
| Natal Body Latitude | Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the natal body. |
| Natal Body Distance | Distance of the natal body from the coordinate origin. |
| Natal Body Speed | Apparent angular speed of the natal body. |
| Event Interval | Time interval between this event and the previous event. |
