Astrological Aspects

A 90° angle between bodies. Discord. Grit. Friction. The Square is not a death sentence, although it is true an odd handful of victims share a Square aspect by way of Synastry with their assassin. Trotsky, Lincoln, and Harvey Milk are just three examples. This perfectly illustrates the conflict present in a Square. There is a lack of understanding, a feeling of two entities working at odds with one another. It is as if one must suffer for the other to thrive. What begins as unease quickly devolves into fear and hatred. The function of a square is to challenge integrity and to stimulate necessary change. There is usually at least one Square aspect present in every individual natal chart, providing a high-stakes challenge in life. “Failure” of the challenge results in the death, stagnation, or marginalization of something precious within. Certain things have to be, maybe painfully, let go in order to achieve the cooperation of a Square aspect. How do you know you're doing it right? When the ego, battered and bruised, fights on... no longer answering to fear.
