What age does the Uranus waxing square arrive?

Between roughly 20 and 22. It is the first hard contact of the 84-year cycle, about twenty-one years ahead of the opposition at 42.

Why is the tension here described as productive?

The opposition at 42 strikes an identity already built, which makes the cost high. In the early twenties the identity is still under construction, so what breaks is mostly inherited pattern, and there is little yet worth defending.

Choices your parents would not have made start getting made on purpose. A city they would not have picked, someone they would not have approved, the plan that made them look good, dropped. Start small; see whether your own judgement holds.

In detail

Uranus Waxing Square: transiting Uranus forms the 90-degree waxing angle to natal Uranus, between roughly 20 and 22, the first hard contact of the 84-year cycle. Uranus covers about 4.3 degrees a year, so a 3-degree orb spans roughly a year and a half, and retrograde loops stretch the same point into three passes. Where the opposition at 42 strikes an identity already built, this one strikes one still under construction, which makes the tension productive: inherited patterns break while there is little yet to defend. Hand and Greene both tie the aspect to leaving home, though not necessarily in the literal sense.
