A square occurs when two planets are 90 degrees apart, typically in incompatible signs. This aspect creates friction, tension, and the drive to take action. Squares are among the most dynamic aspects in astrology — they push you to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop strength through challenge. Many of the most accomplished people have prominent squares in their charts.
