♃ Jupiter □ Square ♄ Saturn
90° · major aspect · tense · default orb ±7°

Ptolemy classifies the square (quartile) as inharmonious, formed by signs of the same modality. Described as friction or productive tension. This describes the documented significations of the two bodies in relation, cited per tradition — not a prediction about any individual.
