Without context it is difficult to say exactly, but I believe it means, "The impossible has been accomplished."

Understand literally:
The circle becomes a square.

The sentence here may act like a figurative. There can be a lot of meanings depending on the context:
- some unbelivable things occurs in front of me
- one did something which was thought to be impossible
- some supernatural things occur.
etc.
