The square or 90-degree aspect is a blend of the principles
of Taurus and Scorpio (Earth and Water), as well as the 4th and 10th House principles in
pure mathematical Astrology.
Throughout history the Square Aspect has been thought of as
being a bad or difficult Aspect to have in your Horoscope and as well as having Aspects by
transit.
The Square is not a bad Aspect if it's purpose is
understood. Many opportunities can also be presented with the challenges that come with
the Square Aspect. But most people feel a great deal of stress when experiencing a Square
Aspect.
The Square Aspect represents the ultimate battle in the
universe. The battle between the Future and the Past. The Square Aspect a full-on battle
between the forces of the past [family, responsibility etc.] against the forces of the
future [adaptation, change, etc.]. In a Square Aspect one planet is always in a Past
oriented Astrology Sign and the other planet is always in a Future oriented Astrology
sign. In a Square Aspect the planets involved are also at right angles to each other.
The real key to the Square Aspect is to understand it's
purpose. Both Scorpio and Taurus are family oriented Astrology Signs. The true purpose of
the Square Aspect is to perpetuate the family patterns of the past. That customarily means
the conventional family type relationship, relatives and a lot of dependability for the
native involved. This type of family is the backbone of society. However not all
individuals yearn for this type of situation and some may even be forced into it.
The Square could be a very advantageous Aspect to the
bachelor or bachelorette who gives up the single lifestyle and marries into a wealth
producing relationship. But the Square Aspects could also cause an in-love teenager to get
pregnant even though they were using a condom.
