What these two are about together
Feeling and what will not be made acceptable. Associated with the feelings a person learned early not to show, and with what happens to them afterwards.
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
Comfort and refusal pull apart. Read as needing to be liked and needing to be honest, and the tradition does not pretend those always agree.
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.
