In my natal chart, there is this little bit:

Moon (Vir) Squ [Gem] Mars - orb: +1:47' - power: 10.88

In astrospeak, the above informational aspect is called Moon square Mars.

On a general "square" astrological aspect:

A square is present in a chart when two planets are 90 degrees from each other. The acceptable orb for a square is eight degrees. Another of the major Aspects, squares are generally considered to possess a hard energy.

The essence of a square is friction. Things happen, and they're no small matter. The energy surrounding a square is forceful, intense and power-laden. It's effect on the individual will be to spur them to action, to cause decisions to be made. The risk to the individual influenced by a square is to ignore this Aspect's unmistakable energy. This Aspect will not be managed effectively until its force field and message are addressed. To illustrate the point, an individual with their Sun square Mercury might be expected to have difficulty when speaking. The lesson of this square will be to do the work necessary in order to speak more effectively.

Specifically on Moon square Mars:

This is one of the most difficult and emotionally explosive of all comparative aspects.

No kidding. A feast absolutely senseless.

Yet, when the internal friction created by Moon square Mars is channeled properly (Walking On Fire, Poetry In Motion), the energy of Moon square Mars is boundless and can move mountains.
