Grand Cross
Four planets in a cross pattern - maximum tension requiring balance.
A Grand Cross (or Grand Square) occurs when four planets form a cross pattern, with two oppositions that square each other. This creates maximum dynamic tension from all four directions. People with Grand Crosses often feel pulled in multiple directions simultaneously. The key is finding balance at the center rather than being torn apart by the competing forces.
Example
A Cardinal Grand Cross creates constant pressure to act, lead, and initiate - but also difficulty finishing what you start.
