THE MECHANICS OF THE YOD
There is a four-way exchange of energy involved in the Yod configuration:
1. The Yod Fulcrum (or Foot planet) shoots energy out through the double quincunx to planets 1 and 2, trying to find its “sea legs” [earth legs] or “a leg to stand on.”
2. The sextile from planet 1 to planet 2 forms the base of the Yod, trying to stabilize the configuration.
3. The individual quincunx energy flowing from planets 1 and 2 back to the Yod Fulcrum “talk back,” providing feedback; and
4. The point directly opposite the Yod Fulcrum called the Activation Point, i.e., the Midpoint between the two Yod sextiles, sets the Yod vibrating when it is activated by transit, synastry or act of will. The Yod energy in the Fulcrum (or Foot) planet is bound up in the world of form and personality until the Activation Point triggers it into action.
