Semi-square
I call this the "in your face" aspect because it forces you to deal with the energy of the planet by always creating situations that won't let it rest until you actively do something to change it.
EDIT--this aspect is different than i thought, it doesnt create the tension, it makes you think you need certain thing that isnt actually what you need. Then behave in ways that creates the tension/stress in life.

I just realized this and im looking for more in my chart because i do seem to always have friction between my responsibilities always taking up so much time that i sacrifice taking care of myself emotionally.

My moon is semi square my scorpio uranus and my asteroid lilith(1181)

My lack of ability to take care of myself emotionally has made me reactive at times, to do things abruptly, kind of out of desperation to try to get my needs met.

Libra pluto-Saggy merc/sun

Pluto's destruction and rebirth has been the theme of my life, and my self esteem, and who and how i communicated has always been a death and rebirth. I was only allowed to associate with a certain group of ppl growing up, when i left that religion i was ex communicated, and everyone i knew up til 25 will no longer speak to me...so ive had to rebuild my life completely.

I have Mercury semi-square Pluto, it makes me obsessively think about a certain event or topic for a few months and then I'll get over it and move on to the next one. It also makes me mentally drawn to and simulated by 8th house matters.

I also have Chiron semi-square my Ascendant, I have no idea how that manifests. Any ideas?

The way i think i should be see affects my destiny, i need to realize i don't have to be seen a certain way in order to be growing into my N.Node?
I can accept myself, even if im not seen exactly as i'd like.

“A sesquisquare is where you may be making a "mountain out of a mole-hill. The sesquisquare is a 135° angle (8° "orb" or less). It will reveal an area of frustration or disappointment. This is most likely due to the fact that you may be blowing the facts or situation clean out of proportion.

I'm just blown away. Apparently much like a square but I have always ignored it.
I read sun square Pluto on Darkstar and it explained so much!! This aspect is much more active than I thought!

"Sun square Pluto’s persona is serious about secrecy and control. The subjects personal life may remain a mystery, as they are experts at armour plating their true emotions. They don’ t let much slip and can be extreme control freaks. The word anal was invented for these guys, for they rule over their domain with an iron will and a steel fist. They need to know where everything is at all times and woe betide anyone who changes the order of their alphabetically arranged CD collection. They can be intimidating and in extreme cases tyrannical. Sometimes the father can be experienced in this way.
These people can be stalkers and obsessive callers, they panic if their lover doesn’t return a text or goes off radar. To Sun square dark Pluto it’s like they have died or something. They have a real fear of death, but in their panic they are often self sabotaging and create the very scenario they fear the most. They are are most afraid of their demonic, unacceptable, beastly thoughts, which can translate as feeling that something about them is ugly, and that they are deformed in someway. They might hide behind a mask, this could be simply very plain or dark clothes they can disappear behind or conversely elaborate, over-the-top freakish make-up. Anything that distracts from the real self that they find unacceptable. However as you can see from the list of celebrities below, once this square is mastered, the power and magic of the aspect is phenomenal. At some point they may indeed have to face some sort of “death”. Having survived this they become indestructible and exude the awesome aura of a Phoenix that has been through the flames and come out 10 times stronger."

Yeah.. I always ignored Semi-Squares until I looked into my Moon-Neptune semi-square. I only realized how prominent it was in my chart, when I looked up a description for Neptune square Moon. Of course, it may not be QUITE as strong as a full-on square.. But, it definitely seems like a Noticeable energy to me.

Yes I feel both of them. These may be worse than my squares? I can't think of a square I have that is AS annoying as these, especially since Saturn rules my sun, and my moon is already nebulous and afflicted.

So I'm looking at the square as a starting point. From cafeastrology:

Mars square Saturn or Mars opposition Saturn:

You work hard and patiently to achieve your objectives, persevering and continuing on in spite of difficulties and discouragement. Concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, you are able to accomplish much, but you often feel that the way is long and arduous, and that you must struggle on alone, that it's all on your shoulders.

You are capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard task master, expecting far too much of yourself. You also tend to hold yourself back, to doubt your own power and ability. You feel that you meet with great resistance whenever you try to assert yourself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big problems for you, especially when you try to work with other people or depend too much on others for support. You work best in solitude.

Moon square or opposition Mercury

...How to blend the head and the heart is a constant struggle for these individuals, usually because there is a tendency to resist blending them!

These people love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, and usually possess a sparkling wit! They are animated when they speak, and have a sense of humor that others appreciate simply because it's very imaginative. Some are especially adept at satire. You can usually tell their moods by how much they're talking. When nervous or excitable, they talk up a storm. Moodiness is a characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes them prone to hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that they take in so very much from their environment. This is also one of the reasons why they tend to be indecisive. While Mercury conjunct Moon people tend to be quite consistently rational, the hard aspects of Moon-Mercury generate a swing between irrational and rational thoughts and feelings. This rarely transfers into action, however. It's pretty much something that takes place "upstairs" in the mind, although others are sure to see the struggle from time to time. These people are always interesting, and usually funny. They have a tendency to misrepresent themselves with what they say from time to time, but they're charming, if a little kooky, friends.

Quoting a part of what I was saying --
*~~I think the noviles, semisquares and such that get neglected are actually pretty potent. If something is 40° or 45° away, isn't that physically closer? So, in a literal sense, the effect their respective magnetic fields (or energies) have on each other must also be significant.~~*

I have Sun semi-square Venus, exact. Which, at first, I didn't pay much attention to. Then I discovered this description - and it was so bloody accurate. There are a couple other places where it's described in depth. If I find those, I'll link them too.

But yes, it's a persistent, grating version of the square. The square hits you over the head with a sledge hammer. This one gets under your skin and stays, constantly gnawing away at you.
