What these two planets are doing

Moon

The emotional reflex, formed before language.

Node

The direction of development rather than of comfort.

At 90° the question this pairing raises is whether comfort is instinctive or has to be negotiated, set against whether the relationship pulls forward or back. A square puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Node moves 263.2 times slower than moon, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
