Kite Aspect Pattern
A grand trine extended by one opposition and two sextiles. This guide gives a reproducible rule, worked example, illustrative near miss, and explicit limits.
Overview
A kite adds a fourth factor opposite one vertex of a grand trine, creating two sextiles to the other vertices. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: the fourth factor opposes the Aries point and sextiles the Leo and Sagittarius points. Verification follows this declared method: First prove the three trines, then verify one opposition and two sextiles; reject a kite label if any required edge falls outside the declared orb.

Definition and exact scope
a kite adds a fourth factor opposite one vertex of a grand trine, creating two sextiles to the other vertices
Calculation or decision rule
first prove the three trines, then verify one opposition and two sextiles; reject a kite label if any required edge falls outside the declared orb
Worked case and illustrative near miss
grand trine at 5°♈, 5°♌, 5°♐ plus a fourth factor at 5°♎. the fourth factor opposes the Aries point and sextiles the Leo and Sagittarius points.
Illustrative near miss: A fourth planet that only opposes one trine point but misses a sextile side does not complete the kite.
School and variant boundary
A pattern exists only when every required geometric edge passes the same published inclusion rule.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate presents Kite Aspect Pattern as a sourced knowledge method and does not claim a dedicated calculator or generated reading for it. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Kite Aspect Pattern cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
