What these two are about together
Identity and disruption. Whether being yourself is a settled matter or something that keeps breaking and reforming.
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
The urge to break out arrives at the wrong moment. Read as restlessness, abrupt reversals of direction, and a pattern of leaving things just before they mature.
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
Sun: Identity, vitality and what you are becoming
