Anyone remember the highly touted cardinal cross of August 2010? Almost every astrologer was going on about how something extreme was going to happen then. It was kind of just swept under the carpet after nothing of interest actually happened.
Has anyone got any theories as to why nothing very significant happened?
Bad astrology.
Looking at transiting Planets without relating them to some kind of base chart is foolish and irrelevant.
Also, there's no such thing as a Grand Cross. A transiting Planet can only aspect one Planet at a time. In Traditional Astrology, we say a Planet "casts its rays at another." But the funny thing is that is not Astrology, that is Science. Planets really do cast rays. Well, that is, the Inferior and Superior Planets cast rays, the Outer Planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are questionable at most. There's weak evidence that Uranus casts rays. These "rays" are electromagnetic radiation. Again, that isn't Astrology, that is Science. I've posted those studies from peer-reviewed professional scientific journals and industry publications that prove without any doubt that aspects formed by the Planets from Moon to Saturn (but not Uranus, Neptune or Pluto) interfere with the electromagnetic radiation spectrum here on Earth.
Specifically they interfere with the left side of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. The left side moving from right to left the Color Yellow to Orange, Orange-Red, Red, Infrared and then miccrowave, radar, VHF, UHF, short-wave radio (AM Bands) to long wave radio (FM Bands).
Your brain exhibits electromagnetic waves. We can attach electrodes to your head and actually measure the electromagnetic activity and among things, tell if you're alive or dead.
Planets that are in trine or sextile enhance the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, but Planets that are in square, opposition or conjunction degrade and interfere with the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. This interference is most noticeable in the AM Band and radar bands of the spectrum.
The interference is more intense when two Planets are conjunct and in square or opposition to another. And while I did say that a Planet can only make one aspect at a time, in Traditional Astrology, we do not consider a conjunction to be an aspect. While moderns call it a "conjunction" we call it "joining corporally by body." Semantics. No, two different connotations. Something joining corporally by body implies that the "rays" or electromagnetic energy of the Planets, is increased. And how much they are increased is dependent on their parallel of declination, because if one Planet is 19***°N and the other is 19°S they aren't exactly joined, are they? No, they're in the same longitude but still separate and apart.
So when a Planet is moving toward an aspect with another, it casts its rays and its light on that Planet (the Outer Planets cast no light -- which is why you can't see them) and blocks other Planets from casting their rays or light on that Planet, and that's why only one aspect can form at a time.
And these "aspect configurations" like the "Grand Cross" and "Grand Trine" and such were ignored for 7,000 years and that wasn't by accident, it was intentional because they mean nothing, even though people go to great lengths to attach meanings to them.
When you see stuff like that it's best to ignore it, because it's nothing more than people pining for others to visit their web-site and give them advertising revenues.

But nope.
