That 150 degree angle is called a quincunx, a minor aspect with a strange affect depending on other chart contributions some times favorable or unfavorable . The energy is flowing against itself and its applied balance sets the energy in the a balancing positions.

The result of a chart configured with a Yod is steadier and the power is focused. The “energy” of the two planets making the sextile seems directed to the house and sign containing that third planet. Yod's are said to be “fated” the interpererptation seems to imply a special destiny or chosen focus. However as is true with all people participating in life if one does not live up to their destiny, then destiny is just an emphasis on one particular area of the life. If one is guided by the energy of a yod the focus is frequently driven, compelling and in continual motion as though the purpose is seen and understood and action is the movement to fulfill the destiny of the YOD or finger of god.

THE KITE
Keywords: Divinity of energy

The opposition forms two sextiles (60 degrees) to the other two planets in the Grand Trine.

The opposition encourages and enlightens the individual to take advantage of their talents through the Grand Trine aspect, becoming the focal planet. Because it is the Grand Trine element the energy can still be squandered and left, hopefully the individual choose to open the energies and utilize the hidden talents and birth gifts of their natal chart.

The two sextiles on the sides of the opposition provide an avenue for the opposition to be expressed and potential to be recognized The Grand Trine is considered a “soft” or lacking in action and direction can cause a lack of action. The difference between adding the KITE to the Grand Trine is the natal chart owner understands and becomes aware that there is more to be done with this flow of energy and that it does have a destination( a specific manifestation through action).

IF the Kite has a Square or other oppositions the energies become more stressful and “driven” making the personality of the natal chart owner intense focused and aggressive.
