Kite Aspect Pattern

The Kite aspect pattern comprises a Minor Grand Trine on top of a Grand Trine, forming a sizeable quadrilateral figure. Both of these Talent Triangles are joined in a fixed structure that makes security the intrinsic motivation of Kite astrology.

The Kite figure has five blue aspects surrounding one red aspect. So, with a ratio of five to one, there is an excess of blue substance aspects. The pleasure and harmony principles influence these. ^[1]

Ambivalence

The Kite aspect pattern gives an ambivalent thriving for further development. The right angles created in the center say that only that which is long-standing and brings proven knowledge is acceptable. This must be tested constantly and be able to be verified by personal experience. You want to know the meaning of everything, and if something has become meaningless, it is rejected. You often go from one extreme to another (red-blue) to learn the best or worst alternative and find your middle way.

The Planet at the Kite’s Tail

The planet at the Kite’s tail works like a tension ruler opposite the small triangle in the other half of the horoscope. This is where its needs and latent abilities make their presence felt. This planet usually indicates the task to be accomplished by the opposition. It is also called the peak planet, where everything in the Kite astrology aspects points or is oriented. The other three planets must work towards the development of the peak planet.

Both uniquely blue-influenced planets have a lot of available substance. They can make the correct choices without much effort and channel misdirected energies into a positive development.

Either-or Attitude

As two ambivalent triangles face each other, the two different sides of the horoscope produce an either-or behavior. This means you are either totally preoccupied with an issue or avoid it. You either use your Grand Trine for your development or adapt yourself with your Minor Grand Trine to someone else.

In the small triangle, there is more capacity for devotion and also often an artistic gift. Together with the large triangle, this makes you a hedonist who finds many things easy with your needs met by what is around you. But only with humility can you also use these advantages for others and do good with them.

To the right and left of the opposition, two equidistant blue lines are connected by a line that gives meaning (trine = Jupiter = clear personal standards), where conflicts, tensions, or crises are settled almost scientifically by accurate reasoning based on observation and experience and the cross-comparison of all available knowledge. Every question has an answer, and for every problem, there is a solution; you must know the direction in which to develop.

Kite Aspect Qualities

The qualities of the blue aspects (2 Venus-like sextiles, 2 Jupiter-like trines) and the Saturn-like opposition show that the vigor, the sensory awareness, and the optimistic enjoyment of life of Jupiter are represented just as strongly as the passive, conservative Saturn and that of the perfectionist Venus.

The ability to concentrate and to identify the sense and use of things (Saturn, Jupiter) is stronger than the sense of little things, beauty, and enjoyment. So you get the greatest pleasure from meaningful activity or by making others happy and content through sense recognition, aesthetics and harmony.

External Peace

External peace and harmonious charisma make you a good partner. You enjoy contact with others and are sensual and well-balanced. You require a lot of peace and quiet to develop your talents; you, therefore, go your own way. The abundance of blue provides a relaxed and enjoyable life; however, the opposition works like a thorn in your side. Things could be ideal and harmonious if the red line were not there.

The desire to help comes from the deep inner pain you must constantly balance or repress since no one else can assist you. Your soul can only support you. Outsiders do not see it, but they think your inner stability is loyalty to yourself. This makes it hard to help you, with the role of example you increasingly play due to your talents leaving you feeling more isolated.

The familiar Kite figure resembles a toy blown around by the wind, emphasizing the ability to remain calm in stormy times and use available energy correctly. However, in this image, stability is provided by an outside person who holds the string. This figure gives you the strong inner stability that others like to lean on.

Striving for Perfection

With a Kite aspect pattern, you strive for perfection, not because you want to reach a fixed state, but to be true to yourself. i.e., in all situations, to act in line with your innermost convictions and heart of hearts. This is the only way for you to develop.

You feel the urge to provide growing life with the best opportunities for development possibilities. You constantly check what people need and whether a specific need is valid. You quickly recognize possible obstacles and suitable opportunities or necessary steps for further development.

With Kite astrology, you need the inner tension the opposition aspect provides to work on self-improvement. The planets that form the opposition indicate the topic. Initially, with the blue aspects, you build the image of an ideal world and see it as you want it to be. You see it in your way from the central core outwards, through which the opposition passes.

You are so used to the constant pressure or pain of the opposition that you even believe everyone else thinks similarly. You can repress or deny the inner tension relatively easily, and the tension pressure is toned down and harmonized by the blue aspects. You live mostly successfully with the environment above both sextiles and in a conflict-free, harmonious, aesthetically pleasing way.

But even the Kite aspect pattern is not immune to crisis. One day, you must open up to new people and develop yourself. The opposition as an inner red aspect indicates the axis topic, where the crisis must occur.

Charisma

Due to your harmonious perception and make-up, you radiate a certain superiority and self-awareness that often astounds those around you. From the outside, nothing can be seen of the inner conflict taking place, in secret as it were, on the opposition axis.

The blue aspects of the Kite astrology figure have a magnetic attraction for what is good for you. You avoid unpleasant things, people,e and conflicts and withdraw from potentially dangerous situations. People who have contact with you often borrow your positive quality of life, even your ideal image of a perfect world.

You can pass on your philosophy to others and lead by your own example. This attitude can lead to pronounced self-satisfaction. Many people with a Kite aspect pattern develop a narcissistic feeling of personality, which suffers greatly when hurt.

Initiation Figure

From an esoteric point of view, an “initiation figure” is the final stage of a particular stage of development that has been reached. At each end of an evolutionary step, an initiation reaches closure after a development. This stabilizes a state of awareness, as symbolized by the Kite. But not everyone with a Kite aspect pattern has already reached this stage.

The development task consists of looking at the theme of the planets that lie at the peak of the tail and form the opposition. Here, the polarity of inside and outside, the inner tension of conflict, and the outwardly displayed harmonious attitude find direct expression. This is why the planets in the opposition aspect must be accurately defined and understood.

If you live with and learn to deal with this topic, you will not see the world as naively as with less-developed awareness. You can experience your conflict on the two apexes with more awareness than on the two blue corners.

However, the energy pole of the red opposition meets the substance pole (blue aspects) on both ends of the opposition. This orientation enables better control of life and allows the discovery of the richness of substance contained in this aspect pattern.

Now, the other special name for the Kite, the Initiation Figure, comes into its own. This means initiating your own abilities in the meaningful substance of the trine aspect. So you become more and more able to radiate a transcendent peace and harmony and to meet and transform karmic duties.
