Semisquare

A semisquare forms when two planets are approximately 45° apart. It carries the same friction as a square, but at a subtler level you are tempted to ignore. A square is like twisting your ankle, you must deal with it immediately. A semisquare is a pebble in your shoe: annoying enough that you notice it, small enough that you keep walking and tell yourself it is fine. Eventually, though, that pebble gives you a blister. This minor aspect manifests as nagging irritation, restlessness, or consequences of issues you have been avoiding. Because it is easy to dismiss, semisquare tensions tend to build until they erupt through external events or small crises.
