Aspect Patterns
Configurations formed when three or more planets aspect one another in a closed geometric figure — the Grand Trine (three trines), T-Square (two squares meeting an opposition), Grand Cross (four squares, two oppositions), Yod (two quincunxes on a sextile), and the Stellium of three or more planets bunched together.
What this means
A pattern binds its planets into one functional circuit, so it is read as a unit rather than aspect by aspect.
