In astrology, the kite is a special type of grand trine. In the normal grand trine configuration, three planets or other celestial bodies are equally spaced across the horoscope 120 degrees apart, thereby making three trines that form one configuration of a triangle on the chart. In the kite aspect, a fourth planet is involved, which forms an opposition to one of the planets involved in the grand trine. In addition to opposing the one planet, it will form a sextile to the other two planets in the grand trine. Whenever a person has a kite in his chart, he is considered to be more likely to be successful in his endeavours because the opposition will give him the push to go out and conquer the obstacles that are presented to him, and the sextiles will give him a little bit more harmony once he has achieved his goals. The fourth planet in the kite configuration, which opposes one planet and sextiles the other two, is the point in the chart that will hold the key to the special talents and gifts that the native can focus on to help him to achieve success in this life.
