  Iron Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iron Cross originally was the symbol of the Teutonic Knights (a heraldic cross pattée) and the cross design (but not the specific decoration) is the symbol of Germany's armed forces (the Bundeswehr) and was the symbol of the German armed forces since about 1870.
The Iron Cross (a fl four-pointed cross with white trim, with the arms widening towards the ends, similar to a Maltese Cross) was designed by the neoclassical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and reflects the cross borne by the Teutonic Knights in the 14th century, which was also the emblem of Frederick the Great.
Hermann Göring received the Grand Cross for his command of the Luftwaffe during the successful 1940 campaign against France, Belgium, and the Netherlands (at the same time as he was promoted to Reichsmarschall of the Greater German Reich).

 The Grand Cross alignments of august 11 - 17 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
While this second Grand Cross may be slightly less spectacular than the first, it is a notable time marker because it occurs twelve years to theday after the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, and 269 days (an exact human gestation period) before the Star of Jerusalem alignment of 5/5/2000.
Casting precise astrology charts for the two Grand Crosses requires a decision about the exact place and time of the chart, so that zodiac signs and the planets moving through them can be aligned with the twelve "houses" that divide the 360° sky wheel into portions averaging 30° each.
The pioneer in research on the Grand Cross and Star of Jerusalem alignments is Ken Kalb, who brought the relationship among the Grand Crosses, the Millennium and the Star of Jerusalem to the attention of legendary astrologer Dane Rudhyar some 25 years ago.

 Lunar Living Astrology Aspect Patterns T-Square and Grand Cross
Because the Grand Cross involves a combination of squares and oppositions, it is an aspect pattern that affects action and drive (squares) as well as perspective and balance with others (oppositions).
When the Fixed Cross is activated by transiting aspects, the tendency is for the four planets to hold their course and resist outside pressures for change.
Resistance seems to be the main energy of the Fixed Grand Cross in an effort to carry on or maintain homeostasis, rather than flow with an energy that might change the course.

 IRAI:horoscopes, consultations, lessons:Grand Cross
Because the Grand Cross is composed of Squares and Oppositions, it is an aspect pattern that is concerned with both action (Squares) and perspective and balance (Oppositions).
By identifying the quality the Grand Cross we discern what all the four signs have in common and are able to discover the strength of the foundation of the Cross.
When the Fixed Cross is triggered by transits or progressions, this Grand Cross of four planets react by digging their heels well into the dirt to resist any of the external energy that may change the status quo.

 Iron Cross 1939
Actually, the ribbon on the War Merit Cross had the colors of the Iron Cross reversed, as was the tradition of the non-combatant version of the Iron Cross.
The Knights Cross was much sought after by members of the armed forces, wearing it meant that they had been crowned as aces and their peers gave this distinction the appropriate respect.
There was little leeway for political manipulation, and the Cross was distributed evenly among the ranks of the Wehrmacht, though it is generally true that those members of elite divisions had a better chance to receive the award.
