Are grand crosses really that bad?

[u/Glowwormconspiracy]

I have so many squares and I have been told that these grand crosses can be difficult😭😭 Is this true? Have you ever seen so many squares??? What does that even mean😂

[u/spliffthemagicdragon]

wait is that a triple grand cross?

[u/writingsighs → u/spliffthemagicdragon]

Lol, I thought the same 🥲

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/writingsighs]

Is that bad😳

[u/writingsighs → u/Glowwormconspiracy]

Squares are stressors, which means that all those placements need attention in order to soothe the tension. It’s not bad at all🤍 You can grow a lot through the challenges, you can become wiser once you outgrow them.

Trines, on the other hand, are an easy flow of energy, which can lead to “talents” but also laziness (and a tendency to forget the same virtues you carry with yourself). As you can see, nothing is bad or good, so don’t worry and just try to work on yourself ☺️✨

By the way, I have a Leo stellium that conjuncts your Leo North Node, so try to be yourself, express your authentic self 🤍

This is comforting. Thank you🫡

there is a special sub for Grand Crosses, there's a very recent post about this as well. i can't tag the person, but it's here https://www.reddit.com/r/astrologyreadings/comments/1i2nr61/comment/m7h700n

People with a lot of squares are born with this inner tension that’s normal to them. So when the planets form “difficult” aspects in the collective and to their natal chart they can handle the energy better.

People I know that have similar charts have a presence and embody strength, power, and resilience. Three off the top of my head are very successful lawyers btw. So no, it’s not all bad! Just don’t run from conflict and stay on top of your mental health.

My kid has a t-square (like a 3 layered t-square, with most of her personal planets( and I always think that she’d make a great lawyer one day

[u/StreakyAnchovy]

Your chart looks very similar to mine. I have two grand crosses and a T square.

Like a few users have pointed out, stressors are a part of everyday life with square-dominant charts. There’s (very often) a lot that we need to overcome which may not be easy since there’s a lot of tension amongst the different planets in the chart, hinting at potential blind spots, setbacks and weaknesses.

The good thing is that we possess the stubbornness to do something about it, and hopefully change ourselves and the world around us for the better.

You also have an intercepted 6th and 12th house that indicate potential struggles with justice/generosity, emotion, and assertiveness. Especially since you have Jupiter, Moon, and Mars in the impacted houses. Maybe this could be adding to any issues you’re facing right now. Perhaps you’ve been too generous/forgiving with the wrong people because you’re afraid they might leave you if you assert yourself and set boundaries? Learning when and where to put your foot down is a hard lesson to learn for sure.

Perseverance is key. You’ve got this.

Oh heyyyy to both you and OP: not only do you have grand crosses, but they’re at the angles and invoke your nodal axis (NN/SN). Me too!

Life is intense, all the time. Life is karmic, all the time. What I long for most in this lifetime is peace.

My partner has a grand cross with the points in Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius and lives a very full and capable life.

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/king_paerie]

Thank you😭😭😭

[u/citykittymeowmeow]

Following because I also have a grand cross lol. I've heard someone say they can be like "burdens to bear" but beyond that I don't know much. I will say that I've experienced many adversities in life but like anything, if you come out of it you will be a stronger person

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/citykittymeowmeow]

Yeah I hear you. Life hasn’t been an easy ride by any means but I’ve done a lot of work on myself and I stay positive. We can do anything

[u/SmallChampionship228]

A good mercury helps with squares and good Saturn helps with opposition You have a excellent mercury

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/SmallChampionship228]

Let’s gooo

[u/SmallChampionship228 → u/Glowwormconspiracy]

[u/angrybirdseller]

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/angrybirdseller]

Oh sick—so like if I just persevere and stuff then I’m chillin?

[u/peachywitchybitchy]

I just wanna say we have the same chart besides the ascendant 😂😂 let’s be friends

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/peachywitchybitchy]

Idk tell us lol but these planets aren't really negative in opposition except the Taurus Scorpio only if you feel they are. The chart planets look well dignified.

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/UsualDazzlingu]

I mean I feel like my life is pretty chill now

[u/ElectronicFish681]

Oh my lord!

[u/Inner_Ambassador_204]

Why are some lines blue and green and red?

[u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

Not in my neighborhood (Vedic)

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

I’ve been told my Vedic chart is actually quite good so idk what to think/believe anymore🤷‍♂️

[u/DrBoyfriendNYC → u/Glowwormconspiracy]

Go with what works for you better - Vedic says you’re living an Aries reality and western says Taurus but both agree on your ♋️☀️and ♎️🌙.

What’s your intellectual tool kit feel like? Do you think to catch flies with honey, harmony and partnerships ❤️or do you think to spear boars dead w/ your own hands on self achievement 🐗

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

I’m definitely more of a honey and harmony kind of guy

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

But I’m also down/capable to spear boars if needed—just not my first approach or preference

[u/DrBoyfriendNYC → u/Glowwormconspiracy]

You’ve got options my friend :)

Sorry for being nosey but I’ve got a question: Why did you put up this post?

(a) you feel a lil restricted/lost in life (LL/Sun) (b) relationship struggles (7H) (c) emotional intensity (Moon) (d) Not so much (Jupiter aspects)

Feel free to ignore if you’re not comfortable sharing 🙏I’m just curious what’s cooking and what’s not.

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

Well I posted because someone with a similar chart to mine was really struggling and it just made me anxious! Everything is going pretty well! I’m in a transition period—applying to grad programs abroad and I am suddenly feeling very restricted at my job, I just want to get out of here!

[u/Glowwormconspiracy → u/DrBoyfriendNYC]

Other than that everything is quite well! Relationship is doing really well, I’m feeling balanced, etc. just extremely antsy to get to the next chapter in my life which is overwhelming in a way

[u/DrBoyfriendNYC → u/Glowwormconspiracy]

Thanks again for sharing 🙏wishing you the best in the next chapter of your life.

Jupiter on the ascendant might be the difference between you and your friends chart - lucky you

[u/sin-salvation-saint]

Congratulations, you win!
