What is a square in astrology?<\/h2>\n
Squares happen when two planets are 90 degrees apart. They share the\u00a0same astrological \u201cquality\u201d (cardinal, mutable or fixed)<\/a>, but nothing else.<\/p>\n When two planets are square, it\u2019s a tug o\u2019 war extraordinaire. Get ready for a showdown or a battle of wills, as each side digs its heels in and resists the necessary compromise.<\/p>\n Yet, to resolve the stress of a square, each side must give a little and meet the other in the middle. Stubbornness ensues\u2014the (cosmic) struggle is real! Brace yourself for a push-pull dynamic. A square aspect can create can be power struggles and clashing agendas\u2014along with an undeniable chemistry.<\/p>\n For example, say expansive Jupiter<\/a> was in analytical, micromanaging\u00a0Virgo\u2014forming a square to\u00a0love-planet Venus<\/a> in adventurous, caution-to-the-wind Sagittarius. On the one hand, your controlling tendencies might be off the charts thanks to Jupiter in Virgo, as you overanalyze every word your lover says, or obsess over a play-by-play of your last date. But at the same time, Venus in Sagittarius makes you ignore all the red flags, tempting you to rush off to the Elvis chapel in Las Vegas and marry someone you barely know.<\/p>\n Hello, head-trip!<\/p>\n During squares, we can work ourselves into this kind of a tizzy, vacillating between wild extremes. Squares are\u00a0NOT a good time to make major decisions\u2014although sometimes the \u201cbreaking point\u201d energy of a square forces a change. Your best use of a square is to weigh the pros and cons, get all the conflicts out onto the table, negotiate and COMPROMISE.<\/p>\n If your birth chart<\/a> has squares in it, this will reveal conflicting parts of your nature that will have to be resolved through self-reflection, discipline and personal growth work. Your natal chart squares also show where you may struggle for balance in your life.<\/p>\n When three planets form a square, it\u2019s called a T-Square<\/a>. When four planets form a square (a rare event), it\u2019s called a Grand Cross<\/a> or Grand Square.<\/p>\n Aries<\/a>: Cancer, Capricorn Semisextile: 1 sign apart<\/a><\/p>\n Sextile: 2 signs apart<\/a><\/p>\n Trine: 4 signs apart<\/a><\/p>\n Quincunx: 5 signs apart<\/a><\/p>\nSquare facts<\/h2>\n
