The general meanings of Triple Combination are the same as for double combinations, but they are much more powerful in their effects. A closing Trine creates the strongest energy core of the element around you, and its effect is so strong that if it touches the Earthly Branch of the Month Pillar, the third element that is created can also transcend your basic personality profile! (Although it does not overwrite it.)
Its intense effect is also indicated by the fact that if you do not have the full triple animal zodiac symbols meeting in your birth chart but only two of the animals that make up the trine - we call this
half Triangular Combination - this alone will have a major effect on your character.
We distinguish two types of Triple Combinations:
Seasonal Triple Combination
Wood Triple Combination (Spring) |  Tiger |  Rabbit |  Dragon |
Fire Triple Combination (Summer) |  Snake |  Horse |  Goat |
Metal Triple Combination (Autumn) |  Monkey |  Rooster |  Dog |
Water Triple Combination (Winter) |  Pig |  Rat |  Ox |
Triple Combination by elements
Wood Triple Combination |  Pig |  Rabbit |  Goat |
Fire Triple Combination |  Tiger |  Horse |  Dog |
Metal Triple Combination |  Snake |  Rooster |  Ox |
Water Triple Combination |  Monkey |  Rat |  Dragon |
In all cases, the seasonal trine is always a bit stronger, but there is no difference in meaning.
