Medical knowledge had stagnated during the Middle Ages. The most authoritative account at the time came from the medical faculty in Paris in a report to the king of France that blamed the heavens, in the form of a conjunction of three planets in 1345 that caused a "great pestilence in the air". This report became the first and most widely circulated of a series of "plague tracts" that sought to give advice to sufferers. That the plague was caused by bad air became the most widely accepted theory. The word plague had no special significance at this time, and only the recurrence of outbreaks during the Middle Ages gave it the name that has become the medical term.

After looking at the history, the theme seems to be one of powerful dynasties taking power, starvation, fear of the end of the world and currency loosing value. I think the Cardinal T Square of 1344 is particularly significant since it shows the beginning of the fake money ruling the world and the elites holding power over the masses by creating debt. The cross also fell around 13º of the Cardinal signs as it does this year.
Hi Skyalmian,
While it's true that there was a Cardinal T-Square in 1344 it's important to remember that the planets is the upcoming Cardinal Grand Cross are located in different signs. It's the planets that carry a certain energy and this energy expresses or is "colored" through a sign. What this means is that Pluto in Aries will express very differently from Pluto in Libra.
Looking at what planets are in what signs gives us the following:
2014 1344
Aries Uranus Uranus
Cancer Jupiter
Libra Mars Mars
Capricorn Pluto Jupiter
As you can see only Uranus in Aries and Mars in Libra are the same between the two planetary aspects. In my understanding, the significance of Pluto in the 2014 Cardinal Grand Cross is very significant, although as I've written earlier in this thread I don't think that the tension inherent in the Pluto-Uranus square will manifest until 2015.
However, on a personal level many people will experience the Cardinal Grand Cross in their personal lives as an aspect from any of the planets involved in the Cardinal Grand Cross to a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter) in their birth chart will mean a powerful activation of that trait in the personality and the psychological complexes that that trait is a part of.
FWIW.
