What these two planets are doing

Moon

The emotional reflex, formed before language.

Vertex

The sense of a meeting having been arranged.

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

Moon moves 28.5 times slower than vertex, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
