Grand Cross
Four bodies at the quarters, each 90° from the next — two oppositions crossing. Its gaps close the circle as 90° + 90° + 90° + 90° = 360°, and every one must sit inside a 2° orb for the formation to count. Measured at 2026-08-19 00:00 UTC.

Which bodies
No configuration of this kind is inside orb at the moment.
What counts as one
A formation is real when its consecutive gaps close the whole circle using only registered angles, and every gap sits strictly inside 2° of exact. Anything wider is not counted here — not because a wider orb is wrong in principle, but because this instrument states one rule and holds to it.
That is the sky as it stands for everyone. Where it falls in your chart is a different question, and it needs your birth date, time and place.
Questions
What is a Grand Cross?
Four bodies at the quarters, each 90° from the next — two oppositions crossing. Horoscorpio treats a formation as real only when its consecutive gaps close the full 360° — 90° + 90° + 90° + 90° — and every one of those angles sits strictly inside a 2° orb.
Is there a Grand Cross right now?
Not at 2026-08-18 19:12 UTC. The next one is due 2039-01-17 14:56 UTC — Neptune, Uranus, Moon, Sun.
How rare is it?
28 times in the next hundred years — computed by testing every 6 hours from 2026 to 2126 against the same 2° orb. Horoscorpio counts rather than estimates.
Does the figure mean something?
Horoscorpio measures the arrangement and times it. What a formation means is what people ascribe to it, and that is recorded from members rather than asserted by us.
Times are UTC and computed from ephemeris. Horoscorpio states positions and times; it is not prophecy, and it is not medical, financial or legal advice.
