The square aspect in astrology, characterized by its division of the celestial circle into four equal parts, represents a unique dynamic filled with tension and the potential for growth. This aspect, often likened to a tetragon with its 90-degree separations, inherently embodies challenges that can lead to both conflict and resolution. The discussion delves into the nature of squares, highlighting their capacity to block and restrict, often resulting in feelings of disharmony and frustration. We explore how the square manifests in various modalities—cardinal, fixed, and mutable—each contributing distinct characteristics to the challenges presented. The complexity of this aspect is underscored by personal anecdotes, illustrating how squares can lead to pivotal moments that, while difficult, ultimately foster resilience and character development. We assert that the tension inherent in squares is not merely a hindrance, but rather a catalyst for profound personal evolution, compelling individuals to confront obstacles and adapt, thereby maturing in the process. Emphasizing that squares can produce fear, we contemplate the transformative power of facing such fears, which can lead to significant growth and self-discovery.

Takeaways:

• The square aspect in astrology represents a division of the circle by four, indicating specific relationships between signs.
• Squares are characterized by 90-degree angles, creating a dynamic of challenge and tension that influences personal growth.
• Experiencing a square can lead to feelings of restriction, but overcoming these challenges can yield significant personal strength.
• The tension inherent in squares often serves as a catalyst, prompting individuals to take action and pursue necessary changes in their lives.
• Malefic planets involved in squares can exacerbate difficulties, while benefic planets may alleviate some of the associated challenges.
• Ultimately, squares in astrological charts signify both struggle and potential, as they encourage maturation through the navigation of obstacles.

The next aspect I got down here is the square, which would be the circle divided up by four.

Oh, the square.

Yeah, Walter.

So the square is actually like a tetragon.

It is separated by 90 degree angles and it's four signs apart.

And actually, when I messed up my knee, there was a square happening that day, which is funny because I didn't pivot.

I just left it, like, fixed.

90 Degrees.

What?

Planetary energy is the energy of a square?

Mars, baby.

Mars.

Yeah.

So key words to go with that would be blocked, restricted, challenged, difficult, different, elusive, disharmony.

It's a battle, this.

The what?

A battle.

Yeah.

It's considered a hard aspect, and it's based on the three modalities.

Inharmonious.

Harsh.

Yeah.

So you could have the.

A cardinal square, a fixed square, or mutable square.

What do you think a fixed square's main problem is?

Too rigid.

Yeah.

Too stubborn.

Too rigid.

Can't get out of.

Oh, what can't get out of, like a situation, I guess.

Stuck.

Get stuck in situations and stuff like that.

Yeah.

Surprisingly, I like the square.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't shy away.

I mean, it's not ideal, you know, to have it in a char, but.

But if you, you know, after some time, if you learn to deal with it.

I have a square as well.

Moon, sun, moon.

And actually a lot of people have sun moon squares.

Yeah.

I have a sun moon square as well.

Malefics that are present in squares actually make it worse.

Yeah.

And.

And.

And benefits that are present in squares make it better.

Yes, yes.

Squares are powerful but challenging.

Power that could be used for good.

If tension.

Tension is a useful thing.

Can you see it that.

Can you see tension as being useful?

D. Yeah.

Because it makes you want to get out of that tension and it.

I don't know, it sparks movement.

I'm glad you said that, D. Because I have.

Right.

My next thing I have down here is tension and is what spurns action.

It makes us grow and become more of the person who you was meant to be.

Yeah.

So squares have the strongest activity, whether they should be indicative of good things or base.

Meaning that even if they're.

Well, even if something good comes out of the square, it's.

It's very strong.

It may not feel like something good will come out of it, but the outcome can be not as bad as you think.

Well, I have to skip a couple of lines ahead because you got to.

Around where I was before, but.

Sorry.

No, no, no.

You.

You got you hitting on a point.

A Couple of points.

That.

Because all right, I go there.

I say squares can produce fears, right?

Yeah.

And what would be byproducts of fear would be going overboard trying to prove you could do it, and then you hit by resistance from the outer world.

This stuff can strengthen your character and force you to go on.

You know what I'm saying?

Or the.

The.

It could help you by.

Help you by meeting obstacles.

We grow because you are forced to make adjustments.

Adjusting your position makes you stronger.

And squares also point to the maturing process.

So just a.

A little side note and like a story, I guess.

When I was seven or eight, I. I had my first experience with, like, a square.

Even though I didn't know astrology back then, I was.

I was running down a hallway, right?

I was running down a hallway, and a classmate of mine was running down the other way.

The lateral.

Like, the lateral.

Yeah.

And so when we met at the middle, we, like, bumped really hard into each other, and I ended up messing up my nose.

So my nose has, like, this little weird curvature thing.

Got the Luke Wilson nose.

Yeah.

It could have broke.

It could have broken.

And.

And that's kind of like the nature of the square sometimes.

Like, something could break.

Like, I'm glad, like, my acl.

But, yeah, I'm glad you went there.

Because too much tension.

Because, like, a rubber band, a square, is tension.

Right.

So too much tension can cause exhaustion and make you old before it's time.

Oh, too much tension can also break you.

Exactly.

Whereas the trying can make you feel young.

Yes.

People with.

Without a lot of squares in their chart mature later in life, and they usually tend to take the path of least resistance.

Yeah, they're more relaxed.

The square doesn't really allow you to relax you.

It's almost like you always have to be doing something because you feel, like, this itch inside of you.

Whereas the opposition is, like, the itch is literally someone in front of you telling you, hey, you gotta go.

The square is more, I think, like, internal in a way.

Yeah.

All right, Walter D. What does it mean when someone says, are we square or let's square up?

Let's fight.

We're up.

Is like, let's fight.

No, well, well, actually.

Actually, it means, you know.

Well, the.

Oh, I forgot y'.

All.

Yo.

It means let's reconcile the situation.

As in, yeah, are we square?

As in, do I still owe you money?

Are we good or not?

Yeah, are we good or not?

But.

But the.

Are we square or, hey, let's square up?

Meaning, hey, how much do I Owe you so I could pay this off.

Like conflict, like conflict resolution.

Exactly.

That's the energy of the square.

Hey, you gotta, you gotta pay it off.

You, you in that.

So the planets in the square, they got to come to a meeting of and, and say hey, we, we got to work together.

How we gonna do this?

I don't like you, you don't like me.

But we roommates.

So tell you what, you work in the morning, I'm working at night.

And that way when I'm sleeping, you gone.

And when I'm, you know what I'm saying, you, you gonna have to compromise with those two planets.

Gonna have to make a compromise somewhere and to reconcile the situation.

Fight first.

Actually I was gonna say speaking of fighting.

Well, I was gonna like go the relationship route.

But when two people that you know, want to be sexually involved.

When you have a Venus Mars squares like sometimes like it could get like, you know, just like what you just said, like conflicting but tension wise attention makes you like, you know, want to have sex.

Like the passionate people screaming at each other and then tearing each other's clothes off.

Yeah, like Venus, like, like person A has Venus square, person B is Mars, you know, like that, that tension will always be there, present.

So you know like, you hear of like people that like are together and like there's all this sexual tension between them.

That's because their Venus Mars have like a square going on between each other.

Yeah, like that.

All right, negatives of a square.

To do or not to do.

It could re.

It could actually render you incapable of doing anything at all.

You ever heard of a person who can't find their way out of a wet paper bag?

Me present right here.

That energy may be the energy of your square.

Of course.

Absolutely.

Sometimes I can't choose what energy you.

Think is the negative part of a square the most.

Which, which modality has the trouble with a square the most?

Which one do you think?

Water.

No, modality.

Oh, you mean like mutable.

Fixed.

Yeah, fixed.

Yeah.

Why.

Why would you say that?

Well, because it's all in the word.

It's.

It's fixed, it's stuck.

So it's kind of like you're having, you're stuck between two things and it's very hard to choose.

Negative.

Another negative aspect is it can lead to your self destruction.

Absolutely.

Because what, what about, what, what about that person who has that square and never and, and decides to never give up on something that's impossible to achieve?

Well, in that, in that case it's the perseverance that.

That the square brings, Right?

Well, I'm glad you went there, because the positives of a square can.

Helps you to achieve the impossible.

It could build up your willpower, and it also forces growth.

Yeah.
