Understanding what a Grand Cross is in astrology lies in understanding the planets and their significations, as well as the kinds of aspects present in a Grand Cross. Are they compatible, or are they at odds? The significations of each planet are also factored in, and while interpreting all of this information can easily get confusing, aspect patterns like the Grand Cross describe exactly where the tension resides. Aspects essentially describe how each of the planets in your birth chart communicate with one another.
Astrology is a tool meant to not only describe your strengths, but your weaknesses too - and the aspects hold the key to understanding how to work with the challenges you may face.
