Square
An aspect formed when two planets are 90° apart. Squares represent friction, creative tension, and the pressure that forces growth. They are the engine of development — uncomfortable but productive.

- AspectA geometric angular relationship between two planets, measured in degrees along the ecliptic. Aspects describe how planetary archetypes interact — whether through tension, harmony, or fusion. The major aspects are conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile.
- OppositionAn aspect formed when two planets are 180° apart on the ecliptic. Oppositions represent polarity, awareness, and the tension of holding two competing principles simultaneously. They demand integration rather than choosing one side.
- TrineAn aspect formed when two planets are 120° apart. Trines represent flow, natural talent, and effortless integration between two archetypal principles. They indicate where energy moves freely — sometimes so freely it goes unnoticed.
