What is the difference between a Kite and a Grand Trine?

A Kite contains a Grand Trine plus an additional planet that opposes one corner and connects to the other two. The Grand Trine supports easy circulation of talent, while the opposition creates direction and pressure, so the added axis must be present before the pattern can be called a Kite.

Is a Kite pattern temporary?

No, a natal Kite is a lifelong structure present from birth. Transits can temporarily emphasize its main axis, but they do not create or remove the natal pattern, so interpretation should return to the planets and houses that form it.
