What these two are about together
Need and disruption. Whether emotional life is settled or repeatedly rearranged, often by the person themselves.
What a square does
A square is the aspect of friction, and the tradition is unusually consistent that it is also the aspect of development. The two planets are in signs that share a quality but nothing else, so they want the same tempo and completely different things. That is uncomfortable, and it is also what forces the matter to be dealt with rather than left.
How it reads
Security and freedom fight. Traditionally read as an unstable early home, as difficulty staying, and as leaving before being left.
In practice
Read as demand rather than misfortune. A square is usually where a person has had to build something, precisely because it did not come easily.
What to watch for
Repetition. Squares tend to describe the argument a person keeps having, in different clothes, until something is actually resolved.
The two planets
Moon: Need, instinct and what settles you
Uranus: Disruption, independence and the sudden turn
