Grand Crosses, do you have them?

My daughter has 3 cardinal grand crosses:

Mars, Jupiter(R), Uranus, Sun
Libra, Cancer, Aries, Capricorn

Mars, Jupiter(R), Uranus, Mercury
Libra, Cancer, Aries, Capricorn

Mars, Jupiter(R), Uranus, Pluto
Libra, Cancer, Aries, Capricorn

And you? do you have them?

Cardinal Grand Cross

What that means, is that the signs you cross is placed in, are the cardinal astrological signs -- Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. One of the biggest issues with this particular grand cross is that the cardinal energy behind it drives the individual to try to take on everything at the same exact time, which can lead to spreading oneself too thin. This could result in something akin to chasing one's tail round and round, and not really getting the set goals accomplished. Those with this grand cross have got to learn to master organization skills and learn to pace themselves and prioritize things in an order that can be accomplished more easily

Fixed Grand Cross

This grand square is made up of the signs at the end of each season. That means Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. One of the biggest challenges for this aspect is the individual's issues with self. Lack of self-confidence or self-esteem can really get in the way of accomplishing tasks of both a personal and work nature. Those with this placement will really need to push themselves forward until the wheels are properly greased and inertia takes over, and once that happens, the ride will be far smoother. As will future trips down nearby paths. The skills are there, they just need to be focused properly.

Mutable Grand Cross

The mutable grand cross includes the signs right smack in the middle. They include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. One of the main challenges for this sign, is to face them directly and not sidestep them, as sidestepping them doesn't get rid of them, and those issues will only come full circle at a later date -- possibly after having snowballed considerably in size! Concerns, worries, fears, etc must be dealt with and expressed in order for help to be extended to those with this aspect in their chart. If they cannot communicate their needs, no one will ever know they are in need of assistance. Communication is key!

I almost have a Mutable Grand Cross. Can you analyze my chart on Horoscopes Within? My birth date is 1/17/1995 and my birth time is 1:20 PM. I was born in Saint Paul,MN. I need someone to give me an accurate description of my birth chart.

You have one Mutable Grand Cross, counting with the Rising:

Pluto, Rising, Saturn, Mars(R)
Sag, Gemini, Pisces, Virgo

For finding a Grand Cross you have two oppositions, each opposite Planet in sign square the other opposites.

Examples:

Pluto Opposite Rising
Saturn Opposite Mars
Pluto Square Saturn and Mars
Rising Square Saturn and Mars

Sun Opposite Jupiter
Mars Opposite Uranus
Sun Square Mars and Uranus
Jupiter Square Mars and Uranus

Okay thank you very much.

thank freakin god i dont

One of the most prominent configurations is the Grand Cross. It is also called a Grand Square because it involves four signs, four planets, four houses and four areas of life that are connected together. Not only are there four squares in the Grand Cross, there are also two oppositions. Essentially, a Grand Cross consists of four planets in the same mode or quality (Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable), which form the four squares and two oppositions. A true Grand Cross includes a planetary placement in each element: Fire, Earth, Air or Water. Because the Grand Cross involves a combination of squares and oppositions, it is an aspect pattern that affects action and drive (squares) as well as perspective and balance with others (oppositions). grand cross example

A Grand Cross is characterized by the mode (quality), and each Grand Cross mode has its own unique expression and interpretation. However, one factor that each type of Grand Cross shares is that they are all fundamentally stressful configurations. Squares motivate action, and they are perceived as uncomfortable influences; the tension develops over time, and once it reaches a certain point, we take action to reduce some of the pressure. Depending on our actions/reactions, squares can be both constructive and destructive.

Squares, and particularly very tight orbed squares, can be hard aspects to ignore. The productive factor to a Grand Cross is that it does offer a solid foundation; a nucleus with structure and strength that can be a tremendous resource. However, finding the point of assimilation and balance in order to be able to take advantage of this gift can be exceedingly challenging. The key, of course, comes from developing balance between the two oppositions. When the opposing influences are balanced, then they are wielding the same amount of force on the planets that are connected by the square aspects, creating a solid foundation. When the oppositions are out of balance (i.e. too much attention being directed to one influence over the other), the structure can not hold up, and the squares (frustration) take center stage again. Taking the time to focus in on the basis issue of each mode (i.e. Cardinal signs impact identity, Fixed signs impact self worth, and Mutable signs impact healing and reasoning) can also discover the commonality that the four signs in the Grand Cross have.

CARDINAL. Cardinal signs are typically focused with the question of self and identity as well as actions surrounding these. The focus gets directed based on whether the individual has the ability to impulsively express the self (Aries), the emotional identity is nurtured (Cancer), the social and intellectual identity is connected (Libra) or the tangible manifestation of our identity is recognized (Capricorn). In essence, the Cardinal Cross could become a crisis of identity. The four planets involved are each pushing to express the facet of the self, yet each operates from a different level and perspective of the self. Cardinal signs encourage action, initiation and sometimes, impulsivity. The test with a Cardinal Grand Cross is reflected whenever there is a transiting aspect to it. That is when all four of the placement's energies try to competitively spring into action simultaneously, and each in its own direction. This can cause the individual to feel overstretched or being pulled apart. The influence can also cause frustration based on the desire to take action without a sense of focus or direction. The action or reaction lacks an outlet. Remembering that the key when dealing with the Cardinal Grand Cross is to be alert to the stressors and how those stressors relate to one's identity. Maintaining a sense of focus on the "prize" while acknowledging that there is an action needed in order to express the self and uniqueness of the self makes it less difficult to make decisions.

FIXED. The Fixed signs are focused on the questions of self-worth. The focus gets directed based on whether the individual has the ability to acknowledge the worth of the self and mastery (Taurus), creativity and spirit (Leo), vulnerability and trust (Scorpio), and humanity and brotherhood (Aquarius). The main purpose of the Fixed signs is to uphold and maintain the activity that the Cardinal signs created and initiated. The Fixed signs are not ready to "move" from the course of action taken and may resist any efforts to implement change. When the Fixed Cross is activated by transiting aspects, the tendency is for the four planets to hold their course and resist outside pressures for change. Resistance seems to be the main energy of the Fixed Grand Cross in an effort to carry on or maintain homeostasis, rather than flow with an energy that might change the course. On the other hand, when the Fixed Cross individual does initiate action, it can be exceedingly difficult to stop the momentum. The Fixed Cross is like a locomotive - slow to start but once in motion, stays on track and is exceedingly difficult to stop until it has run its course. The self-worth of the Fixed Grand Cross develops unconsciously, for better or for worse. The value that the individual has of the self will be exhibited in their self-esteem. The challenge for the individual with a Fixed Grand Cross is to find the ability to allow flexibility into their activities and to share their accomplishments with others.

MUTABLE. Mutable signs are focused on healing and reasoning. The focus gets directed based on whether the individual has the ability to integrate thoughts and feelings (Gemini), organized concepts and healing (Virgo), diversity and wisdom (Sagittarius), compassion and spirit (Pisces). Mutable signs, similar to Cardinal signs, are easily scattered and disjointed when under pressure. While Fixed signs have no difficulty staying focused, the main challenge for individuals with a Mutable Grand Cross can be the inability to gather their thoughts into a collective cohesion of ideas. Learning how to sustain a sense of balance and coordination should be the Mutable Grand Cross individual's goal. The Mutable Grand Cross individuals gain the most when they learn how to juggle their activities while maintaining a sense of consistency relative to the planetary placements in their chart. The inclination of the Mutable signs is to remain adaptable and flexible. When transiting aspects trigger the Mutable Grand Cross, the impulse of the four planetary energies is to transform; to adjust, and to avoid any obstacle that has just been placed before it. The four energies scatter in different directions in an disconcerted effort to find homeostasis. The problem is not in the desire to change. The problem arises from the non-unified reactions of the planets
