Free kite calculator

Do you have a kite? And how tight is yours?

About 22 in 100 charts have a kite at the orbs usually allowed. With every side within 1°, it's about 1 in 410. Enter your birth details and we'll check yours.

This is just one shape. Your whole chart shows you your birth chart drawn out, your Sun, Moon and rising sign, and the one shape in your chart that is most worth a closer look.

Here is the same check for the other shapes. You can open any of them to see yours in detail.

If you'd like a reading, the options are at the bottom of this page.

Would you like to look closer?

A reading is created from the whole of your chart, not just one shape. Your birth details are already here, so the form below takes you straight to a secure payment page.

It arrives in a private learning portal, with a chat function you can ask about it. If you are not sure what a reading looks like, you are welcome to read three chapters from a real one, which is my own.

Your reading · ~~usually £90~~ £60 special offer An in-depth reading of every part of your chart and how they work together, chapter by chapter, with diagrams drawn from your chart. It includes the areas of your life, such as home, work, money and partnership. The full unlock · £180 Your reading tells you what your chart holds, and this takes you into it. It is your reading, the areas of your life included, with what's live for you now added. The planets have kept moving since you were born, and as each one passes over a place in your chart, that part of you tends to come to the front for a while. This looks at the next six months and shows which parts of your chart are being reached, how closely, and when. As each date arrives, you can check it against your own life. It comes with a practice companion: guided practices drawn from your own reading. If you have already paid for a reading, what you paid is taken off the £180. This one is made to order, so there's nothing to pay now and I'll reply by email.

What is a kite?

Three points in a chart form a grand trine, each 120° from the other two. A fourth point sits opposite one of them (180°) and a sextile (60°) from the other two. Drawn on the wheel it looks like a kite, with the opposition as its spine.

Three parts of you sit at easy angles to one another, as in a grand trine, and a fourth sits opposite one of them, linked to the other two by helpful angles. Astrologers call this a kite. The fourth point gives the easy triangle somewhere to go.

It tends to feel like a talent with a direction attached, though the pull of that fourth point can also feel like pressure to use it. The grand trine's catch still applies: what comes easily can be left idling. The fourth point is usually where the effort goes, and where the ease becomes useful.

How common is a kite?

Here's how often it turns up, and how quickly that falls as the sides get tighter, measured across 100,000 random birth charts from 1930 to 2025:

Kite	Charts with one
Any kite, at the orbs usually allowed	22 in 100
Every side within 2°	about 1 in 55
Every side within 1°	about 1 in 410
Every side within half a degree	about 1 in 3,100

We count the planets, the Moon's nodes, Chiron, the Part of Fortune, the Vertex and the angles. A kite's tightness is its widest side, the loosest of its six angles, and your result is read against this table.

Questions

Is a kite rare?

Not at the usual orbs. Measured across 100,000 random charts, about 22 in 100 have one. A tight one is rare, though, and about 1 in 410 has a kite with every side within 1°.

How is a kite different from a grand trine?

A kite is a grand trine with a fourth point added, which sits opposite one corner of the triangle and forms helpful sextiles to the other two. Every kite contains a grand trine, but most grand trines don't have a fourth point to make a kite.

What does the figure in my result mean?

We measure your kite's widest side, the loosest of its six angles, and read it against the table on this page: how many of 100,000 random charts have a kite at least that tight. If yours is wider than 2°, it's in the first row, the usual range.

What if I don't know my birth time?

The calculator checks your planets, but a kite can also be made with your Moon or the chart's angles, and those can't be placed without a birth time. If none of your planets form one, it says it can't be sure rather than saying no.
