Squares butt heads because the two planets are in competition with one another, yet clash in part because they want some of the same types of things. Oppositions can balance one another–with sufficient give and take, there’s a kind of partnership. Charles Jayne said that in this aspect, people are asked to reconcile the irreconcilable, and thus the quincunx requires a creative leap to blend the two sets of needs and traits.
