What is a yod?
Two planets in sextile (60°) that both make a quincunx (150°) to a third, the apex, drawing a long, narrow triangle. Sometimes called the “Finger of God”, it is read as a pointed, awkward calling that asks for adjustment and is grown into over time.
Where astrologers disagree
The most disputed figure here: some astrologers do not recognise yods at all, and the quincunx orb is itself contested. Shown because the chart’s own sextile and quincunxes make it, and flagged as the uncertain one.
