Pieces in your natal chart that square force awareness of each other. It’s like an internal competition between parts of yourself. Each trying to get your attention.
Square is a 90 degree angle within 7 degrees. The 7 degrees is the orb of the aspect.
Most aspects in your chart are not exact and the orb is how much difference from exact still creates an aspect.
Example:
Saturn 20 ♒️ 48
Uranus 18 ♉️ 55
(Square)
No rounding up of minutes, so this is not a square. It is 7 degrees and 14 minutes different and must be no more than 7.
Mars 13 ♒️ 24
Moon 6 ♉️ 10
(Not square)
