Kite in the sky!

A kite is a beautiful and powerful pattern that can be seen in some chart, like in the Dalai Lama's or Kurt Cobain's.

In a kite there are four planets (sometimes more when some planets are conjunct - they are four points anyway)

Three of these planets form a Great Trine - that is they are connected by trines. The trine is the most easy flowing aspect between two planets. Most trines happen between planets placed in signs of the same element. You can imagine two characters who are getting on really well, they are on the same wavelength, conflicts are rare or existent, no energy is wasted, they completely support each other.

In a Grand Trine, like the three Musketeers they could claim: "All for one and one for all!"

Now, to interpret aspects, the first thing to consider is what planets are involved. If the energies are very different, like Venus and Saturn, even a trine won't make them become similar. Liz Greene says that "all contact with Saturn are painful". A trine in this case will be the least painful way to be in contact with Saturn. If Venus was a tree (the tree of love!) Saturn would be pruning it.

Pruning means cutting some branches so that others thrive better. Venus trine Saturn is likely to be more committed and to live long lasting loves, but still, there is a price to pay, which is to renounce to many other attractions, and maybe that's life, yes, but it's not the most pleasurable bit.

So you have a trine, three energies getting along as well as possible. One of the three planets meets the fourth one by opposition. This opposition is the spine of the kite.

An opposition is a challenging aspect. You can imagine two characters facing each other. What's going on between them? Each one is in the other's way. This can be a confrontation. This can also be a meeting, even the beginning of a love story. Now, even love is challenging. You've got to be who you are and face another one!

Again, how an opposition manifests depends on the energies involved. An opposition with Venus at one end is more likely to be a pleasurable affair than with Saturn or Pluto. If Venus and Pluto meet, the sweet love represented by Venus meets the crazy intensity represented by Pluto. The love story is likely to be very passionate, drama is round the corner! Venus opposing Jupiter would make the love story big, bigger, full of faith and enthusiasm and possibly to much so that plain down to earth realities with their lot of limitations may be forgotten..

Also, it can help to remember that any aspects also links two signs, and two houses. Don't overwhelm your mind with too much information, but sometimes it helps to switch from planets to signs or houses to get more ideas of what may be at stake.

This fourth planet is also linked to the two other ones by sextiles. Sextiles are harmonious, easy flowing aspects, not as easy flowing as the trines, but still. They may need a little bit of conscious triggering to get started, but once it's on, it's on!

All these harmonious, easy going, easy flowing ways provide the best possible environment for the opposition to be turned into the best possible thing. The other way round, the opposition provides spice to something that could be boringly too easy otherwise.

Of course,as I already said, the outcome depends on what planets are involved, and also what other aspects are influencing, helping or challenging the planets. We're never finished looking at our lives and others' from various perspective, each time it's a full story!
Fly high!

If you have never looked at a chart before

Hello there! I'm really happy to explain, I love explaining things! If you are a beginner in the study of astrology, I am writing for you.  I expect you to know the symbols of the signs and planets, if you don't, you can find them here https://www.astro.com/astrology/in_kdhoros_e.htm On this same website, you can get your own birthchart done for free. You need your date and precise time of birth (more or less five or ten minutes, exact if possible) and your place of birth. Go here https://www.astro.com/cgi/ And now, let me explain. A birth chart is like a big clock with two dials and ten hands. The first dial is made up of the twelve signs. Inside the circle formed of the twelve signs, you can see the symbols of the planets. For instance, in my own chart, the Sun (The circle with a very small circle at its center) is placed in Scorpio (The kind of M ending up with an arrow) The small numbers near the planets indicate the exact degree of the sign where they sit. My Sun is at 1

The karmic indicators in the birth chart

1 South Node and North Node. The Moon Nodes are always exactly opposite in the chart. The South Node (also called Ketu) represents the energy coming from our past lives, or from our family/ancestry/genetic inheritance..  It is an energy we are familiar with and needs to be balanced by the opposite energy of the North Node. The North Node (also called Rahu) represents where we are called, where we will gain the greatest satisfaction...provided we dare taking up the challenge and step out of the South Node comfort zone. The Nodes are placed in opposite signs and houses as well. The meaning of the Nodes in houses is equivalent the the placement in the analog signs, for instance: my South Node is in Aquarius and in the 8th house. My North Node is therefore in Leo and the second house. My karmic path in sign is from Aquarius to Leo, and in house from the 8th to the 2nd, which is equivalent to a Scorpio to Taurus path. (As Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac and Taurus the second

Key words for signs-planets and houses -

To learn quickly, make it a game!  You can play with these key words on your own, or with friends.  Take a horoscope. Chose a placement. It can be a planet in a sign, a planet in a house, an aspect between two planets or a sign in a house.  Look at the lists of key words below and combine them to find interpretations.  NB: as in life, there will be positive and negative ways to combine energies. If you need more explanations: Each planet is associated with a sign and a house: you get the same key words, for instance for the Moon, the sign it rules which is Cancer, and the associated house which is the 4th.   Planets on principle represent the energy and are more likely to be expressed with verbs (for instance the Moon cares, nurtures, feels....) when the sign is a style or a mood and can be expressed with adjectives,  adverbs or complements:  In Cancer for instance,  a  planet does what it does with sensitivity, in a caring manner, following their intuition
