The Grand Cross or Grand Square is an aspect pattern formed of all square and opposition aspects. It is known for its powerful driving energy.

This aspect pattern consists of 6 planets evenly spaced around the zodiac, each 60° from the planets beside it. To get 6 planets (or even including non-physical points) in orb at the same time is very rare.

A Grand Trine is an aspect pattern, where 3 planets are in a triangle shape, each 120° apart. This figure shows free-flowing, cooperative interaction and natural ability with the planets involved.

The Grand Trine Kite starts with a 3-point Grand Trine. A fourth planet has an opposition aspect to one of the planets and sextile to the other two. It contains the natural ability of the Grand Trine, combined with the striving tension of the opposition.
