What is a grand cross?
Four planets in two oppositions that cross at right angles, making four squares, so it reads as two interlocked T-squares. The tradition takes it as four-way tension that asks for balance across every side at once: demanding, and, worked with, a source of real staying power.
Where astrologers disagree
The orb, and whether the four must share one modality, are conventions. Here a grand cross is two oppositions and four squares the chart already shows, between planets.
