Cons of the grand air trine
Air signs are notorious overthinkers. Therefore, those with the grand trine in air could live in their heads. They tend to be consumed by their thoughts and will overthink and analyze a situation.
They need to understand how to go with the flow and not create so many scenarios at once, especially when multiple planets are in Gemini.
Their connections may be viewed as superficial. They will rarely show their true self to others.
Relationships and friendships can feel shallow with this sign. Air signs protect themselves and will not allow others to see their vulnerable side. It will be tough for anyone to see the emotional side that someone with an air trine has. The relationship will feel artificial, the more that someone tries to get to know them, especially if the native with the trine is not interested in cultivating a deeper bond.
Air signs do not like to put their emotions on display, so they could appear cold to others especially if they are not fond of you. Because air signs tend to live in their head and will not acknowledge what is going on in their heart, it could frustrate their friends and partners when they do not share their feelings.
Although the grand air trine native might prefer to rationalize their emotions, they only warm up to people they trust and will let them see their most vulnerable side.
Notorious for unpredictable behavior, these signs will not be afraid to ghost or vanish when they notice something they do not like about someone. The native will prioritize their needs and not consider the feelings of others. Instead of challenging or starting drama, Aquarius and Libra placements will prefer to disappear to protect their peace.
