Definition

Noun: 1. A triangular lyre of ancient Greece and Rome: A stringed musical instrument from classical antiquity, characterized by its three-cornered shape. 2. (In astrology) One of four groups of the zodiac: Each group consists of three astrological signs, with each sign separated from the others within the group by 120 degrees. The four trigons are traditionally associated with the four classical elements: fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). 3. A three-sided polygon: A geometric figure with three sides and three angles; a triangle.
