Both planets here move quickly — Mars and Sun change position between people born weeks apart. That makes this aspect genuinely specific to the two charts rather than to a generation, which is true of only 59.9% of the combinations people look up.

What these two planets are doing

Mars

Drive, appetite and how conflict gets handled.

Sun

The core identity — what a person is when nothing is being performed.

At 90° the question this pairing raises is whether wanting things together produces heat or friction, set against whether each is comfortable being seen as they actually are. A square puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Mars moves 1.9 times slower than sun, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
