A Kite gives an underused strength a clear direction, with the difficult side pointing toward its best outlet. Choose one client, project, or relationship problem and turn that strength into a concrete result.

In detail

A Kite is formed when a Grand Trine is joined by an opposition between one planet and another point, with the connected aspects held within an approximately 3° orb. When a planet is moving, the window follows its speed: about ten hours for the Moon, five to six days for the Sun, Mercury, or Venus, around twelve days for Mars, three weeks for Jupiter, six months for Saturn, roughly a year and a half for Uranus, about three years for Neptune, or three to four years for Pluto. The Grand Trine supplies smooth talent and circulation; the opposition gives that flow a target and a practical channel. A Yod relies on two quincunxes and ongoing adjustment, whereas the Kite directs its existing trine through an opposition axis.

FAQ

How is a Kite different from a Grand Trine?
A Kite starts with a Grand Trine and adds a fourth planet opposite one corner and sextile the other two. The Grand Trine circulates ability, while the opposition gives that ability direction and pressure. Find the opposition axis first to see where the outlet lies.
Is a Kite always better than a Grand Trine?
No. A Kite provides direction for an easy-flowing talent, but its opposition also creates tension that must be handled. The useful question is whether the resources of the Grand Trine can be applied to the concrete task shown by that axis.
