The Grand Cardinal Cross of April 23, 2014

 By Rick DiClementi

No, I’ve never seen anything like it. It is THE most intense concentrated construction of planets I maybe have ever seen.

Why is this so special?

The reason it’s called the “ Grand Cardinal Cross” is that the four critical planets involved Uranus, Jupiter, Mars and Pluto will all be in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Cardinal signs are leaders and are very powerful. All four of the planets will be at approximately 13 degrees of their respective signs, an unbelievable occurrence in astrology. Each sign has 30 degrees, and when 1 planet is at 13 and another is opposite it at 17 degrees, let’s say, it has some play, some slack, an “orb” of 4 degrees. But, when they are both at 13 (or as in this case, all four!), it’s like a guitar string that is stretched as tightly as possible before breaking – the tension is at its maximum.

The fact that ALL FOUR are at 13 is very foreboding. Too much tension, AND the four are the most “testosterone-filled” of the bunch, i.e., Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. You could easily have 10 great astrologers spend a week analyzing this formation and they would all come up with drastically different interpretations. But, they would also see many things the same. Remember, true astrology does not predict events but bespeaks of inclinations and tendencies. What astrology “predicts” is the archetypal outcome, in other words, what type of things are going to happen. It is not the best use of this article to try to figure out what will happen. Any analysis of even Uranus proves totally unpredictable. Life just has too many surprises for us. The real use of this is to understand what is happening to all of us at the collective and individual level. We all knew this was coming. Tell me more. Embedded inside this Grand Cardinal Cross is the 5th of 7 squares between Uranus and Pluto. These started in 2012 and will end in 2015.
