THE YOD ASPECT PATTERN
I know there isn’t a lot of information out there on Yods (AKA- Gods pointing finger, Finger of fate, etc) and I’ve had a heap of requests to make a post on this fairly rare aspect pattern. I plan on going further in-depth with Yods at a later date but for now, this is what I know…
The Yod in astrology is often found in the charts of people whose lives are colored by intensity and constant adjustment.
Yods symbolize patterns in families that have lasted for generations. Carriers of the “Finger of Fate” can also feel insecure or have trouble expressing themselves and they may often find themselves in unusual situations. People with Yods in their chart have a restlessness, like a sense of their unique purpose and a calling to be their authentic selves at any expense.
The discomfort of a Yod tends to manifest more in the mental and emotional realms. Yod people may always feel like some crucial understanding or piece of information is missing—one that would help transcend the irritating sense that things are not quite as they should be.

If you have one or more Yods in your astrology chart:
You elicit strong, recurring responses from your environment that you don’t understand
Your parents had trouble comprehending you as a child (and as an adult)
You maneuver through intense circumstances that would break other people’s spirits
You experience things “out of the blue” that are beyond general life events
What crosses your path often involves some scare, shock, security threat, or some other uncomfortable situation over which you cannot exercise any influence. Strange events simply “happen,” often out of the blue
Simply put, the role of Yod bearer is to break ancestral patterns. Yods are strange, but also somewhat mystical and fated. Those who have Yods in their birth charts are here to shed light upon patterns that have gone unaddressed for generations. The planet at the top point of the yod is the solution. When the yod is activated you have the choice to make society better or worse and your choice can not be undone. Whatever fate you choose is set in stone. No pressure.
Side note: Yods can also be a health aspect. You have 2 planets in a sextile so they get along really well and then you have the activation point…It is always a sign that is not Compatible with the other two which causes irritation.
Example: Someone who has a very long history of being ill and fighting to figure out what is wrong & why has a yod containing Mars in Aries in the 6th quincunx the sextile planets. Neptune in Scorpio in the 1st and Pluto in Virgo in the 11th. Which Jupiter in Virgo in 12th is in opposition to the Mars in Aries.
