The Square

By Molly Hall, About.com

Glyph

Definition: The square aspect is found in a birth chart when planets are three signs, or roughly 90 degrees apart. The tension of the square shows areas of stress, and often bring obstacles. The square presents a challenge to manage and release the intensity it generates.

The square creates energetic sparks, and an enormous amount of energy that has to be released. It's an aspect that can create fear, and that amplifies the energies already present. The potential for release makes it a dynamic aspect, full of potential to create a new blended structure out of the two conflicted energies.
