What these two planets are doing

Lilith

What refuses to be domesticated.

Mercury

How thinking gets turned into speech.

At 90° the question this pairing raises is whether that part is allowed out or has to hide, set against whether conversation flows or constantly needs translating. A square puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Lilith moves 9 times slower than mercury, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
