The square

The angle a square marks, and what it does between two planets.

In the astrological tradition, a square is a 90° angle, read as friction that asks for effort. The two points don't naturally agree, so they push each other — which is uncomfortable, and also the source of a lot of growth. Astrologers often call squares 'productive tension': the part of a chart that builds something, rather than a verdict about how life will go.
