To check it by degree: the Ascendant at 10° Cancer makes the trine with the Sun anywhere from 2° to 18° of Scorpio or Pisces — the 120° angle give or take 8°. The grid goes by sign, but the trine also forms across a sign line: the Ascendant at 1° Cancer and the Sun at 29° Libra are 118° apart, a square by sign.
