Square Angle in astrology. When two planets are aligned 90 degrees apart, this indicates a square angle. A square angle indicates an internal conflict or imbalance. In the case of a square angle, there is a war, a conflict between different tendencies and desires in the areas represented by the two planets. When this conflict is not managed correctly, emotions such as boredom, anxiety, anger and uncertainty may arise. Working through conflicting emotions can be extremely difficult.
However, all these uneasy feelings caused by the square angle drag the person into action. The discomfort between the issues represented by the two planets provokes a person’s inner unrest, acting as a catalyst for change, transformation and action. Thus, the person leaves his comfort zone and realizes his growth adventure in the conflict areas of the outside world. The disappointments, obstacles, and struggles associated with the square aspect can lead to one’s growth.
For example, those with a natal square between the Moon and Neptune face a unique set of psychological dynamics. They idealize many emotions/situations, but precisely because of this idealization, they constantly conflict with the harsh reality of the emotional states they actually experience.
Individuals with Moon square Neptune tend to romanticize their feelings, creating elaborate fantasies of an emotional ideal / goal. However, when they encounter the inevitable mistakes, flaws and confusion in their real lives, they may experience great disappointment.
There is a conflict between the longing for emotional perfection and the messy subtleties of emotions. This conflict may become a source of internal turmoil over time. The person may become lost in the landscape of their own emotions and have difficulty understanding / reading the emotions of others.
This confusing situation may cause the person to develop extreme sensitivity to emotional stimuli and have difficulty in drawing correct boundaries. He may feel frustration and helplessness in the midst of a vast “sea of influences” from outside. When the Moon squares Neptune, a person’s search for balance often involves finding solace and relief by escaping from something. Fascinated by their own fantasies, these people feel vulnerable to the demands of reality and real relationships.
When the Moon is square Neptune, not being able to draw boundaries is a big problem. Because the person also has the tendency to surrender himself to the stimulating person or emotion, to sacrifice himself, to interfere with it and to unite with it.
Those with Moon square Neptune in their charts may have difficulty defending their emotional security. They may feel that the emotional experiences they experience direct their lives and that they are thrown away by these experiences. Allowing this drift every time can have devastating consequences.
When the Moon Neptune square angle creates a conflict between dreams and real needs, the chart owner must experience the beauty of his ideals by facing the source of fears, without breaking away from the realities and responsibilities of life.
