KITE

For this post I used cafeastrology.com & other sites listed throughout the post . Click on links.

A Kite is an aspect configuration that starts with a triangular aspect figure (usually a Grand Trine or Yod). 

A fourth planet makes an opposition to one of these planets, forming a symmetrical figure. 

The opposition forms the "spine" of the kite.

The fourth planet can act as a grounding principle, kind of like a lightning rod channels lightning energy into the ground. 

The opposition aspect often brings conflict, polarization, disagreement and stress, although it is also dynamic and motivating. It is a challenge to be triumphed; a problem to be solved; a disagreement to be negotiated.

Also sometimes called a Boomerang or Focused Yod aspect configuration. Similar to the Yod, except the fourth planet has the "last word" in the energy flow and receives an extraordinary amount of stress.
