When we do a ritual such as the planetary squares, when we affirm the energy do we have to simultaneously do the visualization at the same time? Are we able to affirm energy step1.. and then step2 visualize our intent. I’ve never been able to visualize very good so it’s easier for me to do those parts separate. Visualizing takes so much energy from me that I might mess up my affirmation I’m focusing on saying correctly.

Active HelperIdeally, you do both at the same time. Yes, with each vibration and each affirmation, visualize the energy growing more powerful, stronger, and brighter. But if you feel like doing this will mess up your affirmations, it is okay to do them in two parts, as you mentioned above. It is especially important here to really feel the words you are saying in the affirmation and intend strongly that they're having the effect that you desire.
You can do the visualization after the square. Depending on your goal and the square’s intent, even music can help you visualize. Practice dotExternal ↗ and sight & visualization meditationExternal ↗; it will help you a lot.
Another way, if you find it hard to understand, is to enter a controlled state of ‘daydreaming.’ Is the square related to material gains? Pour your emotions into an excitement form as you imagine all the happiness and drive you’d feel from having money, a house, and so on. Start with one small moment connected to your square's intention. If you are focusing on having a home, for example, imagine opening the door, hearing the key turn, or enjoying a quiet morning there. There is no need to imagine an entire future at once. Let the feelings arise, it might be excitement, but it could just as easily be relief or a sense of satisfaction.
