Have a yod in your chart, and you can't figure out how to approach it? Focus towards the sextile! This is where both find common ground in the disagreement with the apex, so pushing them to work together is literally pitting 2 against 1.
Yods consist of 2 inconjunctions and one sextile, usually being known as "the finger of God", seen as a test of your ability to fight against fate. The solution to those world-ending problems lies within the sextile. The fault with reading chart patterns is looking at the entire pattern all at once, you want to start with one aspect at a time, in this case, the inconjunctions, to understand what conflict you're facing due to the apex placement.
So, let's say there's a Yod between a 15° Leo Moon, 15° Pisces Mercury, and a 15° Capricorn Sun. In this case, we'd find a Moon-Mercury and Moon-Sun inconjunction and a Mercury-Sun sextile.
So, one at a time: 15° Leo Moon inconjunct 15° Pisces Mercury 15°- Gemini- communication, writing, publishing This is someone who finds confidence in their ability to write or speak, feeling at home in front of a crowd--but,(inconjunction Pisces Moon), they’re so strongly impacted by the opinions of others that they don't want to say anything unfavorable, specifically anything that would be held against them later on. They think conversations ahead.
Now, for the other inconjunction, the 15° Leo Moon-15° Capricorn Sun: Like we said before, this is someone that finds confidence in making themselves heard, having no problem with the lone act of putting themselves out for the world to see. Inconjunction a 15° Capricorn Sun, this is someone who SO strongly understands their own potential and wants to be known for their abilities that every step needs to be planned out to perfection, because they know they can do it. Anything less than that is nothing. So, what do both inconjunctions tell us? This is somebody that believes in themselves so much that they don't want to slip up and have that be the reason they'll never be able to succeed again. Inconjunction a Pisces Mercury, every connection they make is made with the intention of bettering every person they meet, so when they fail, they feel like they're failing absolutely everyone. Leo Moon, they take it as a complete destruction of their ego.
Then, for the 15° Capricorn Sun-Pisces Mercury sextile: Sextiles show a positive relationship between planets whose potential ends as far as you're willing to run. They're quieter, and they don't demand our attention, but making time to care for them benefits us wholly. So, back to the "Finger of God" comparison, we find that the key is simply belief. Forcing yourself to believe. Removing anything from your life that reminds you that you shouldn't. In this case, a 15° Capricorn Sun/Pisces Mercury, this is someone who needs to push themselves over the edge and see what it feels like to say how they really feel for once. They need to be aware of where they're trying to get with it and focus on where they are right now, using that as inspiration. Instead of living within specific boundaries to benefit from the same comforts other people find to garner support, progress demands that they lead who they have into the future, using results to prove their strength.
With this Yod, you can say as many pretty words as you want, but inaction is a broken promise. Find that same level of fear in what happens if you don't confront this pattern. Finger of God, giving this ignorable frustration attention is the split between two fates. You can continue working within the limitations that this Yod provides, it's irregular Grand Trine shape giving you scrapped semblances of comfort, but you should know that the option for more is there for you. In a way, Yods bring our focus to issues in a way that conditions us to want better, but we have to be able to recognize when old patterns aren't adapting to your current needs. Don't admit you're wrong, prove to yourself that you're wrong.
