It's not difficultHere is a quote from you, upthread:
"Think beyond those random lines and consider that the sign energies are much more important and have a real logic to them, which gives an astrologer a fundament to work with. Since Taurus and Cancerian energies trine each other, earth and water like each other to put it in simple language, planets in these signs cannot square each other."

Here^^^ is what I fundamentally disagree with. You say, very clearly and absolutely, that 'planets in Taurus and Cancer CANNOT square each other.'
The problem is, that is NOT TRUE.
A planet in Taurus can and does square a planet in Cancer
whenever they reach an orb near 90 degrees arc. It happens quite often.
So that is a false statement, that 2 planets in those signs cannot be in a square aspect. The definition of a square is a mathematical one.
Now you may have philosophical or theoretical differences with that definition, but it does not change the facts.
I totally understand your argument that Taurus and Cancer
are sympathetic elements, not USUALLY in squaring aspects.
So a square between them will work differently from a Fire/Earth square would.
And we can discuss that and agree upon that.
But I have a problem with the cut and dry
absolute denial that the square aspect even exists.
That is problematic to me, perhaps
because it is indicative of other aspects of traditional theories.
As has alrealdy been explained
Taurus and Cancer CANNOT SQUARE BY SIGN
HOWEVER
obviously
planets in Cancer and Taurus may be in SQUARE BY DEGREE
