quote:
Your biggest challenge is Sun is quincunx PLuto and Neptune. This is a intense and Transformational YOD Aspect. You cannot ignore your Kundalini Enegry, you cannot ignore your Chakras and your past life karmic lessons.
sun quincunx pluto
“can suffer from constant unrest and tension without knowing why. Often gives enormous ambition and a desire to remain viable at all costs. Driven by uncertainty, you may seem incapable of sparing yourself. Because of the insecurity you could be fiercely defensive of others but with typical plutonian lust for power, can (on occasion) enjoy manipulating them to. You will have a desire to grow through confrontations....”
From the book ‘Aspects and Personality’ by Karen Hamaker-Zondag
Sun Quincunx Pluto
You are forced to focus, time and again, on details that you would prefer to ignore. When life slows down or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. You are changing and growing in ways that you can scarcely perceive. Stay involved in your everyday routines and only force a change on yourself when you feel stuck in some repetitive pattern. http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/quincunxinterpretations.html
Sometimes these quincunxs (aka Inconjuncts 150’) are obvious and recognised in personality, other times it can take a lot of self examination to identify with the planets energies and of course they (like all aspects) don't operate 100% of the time, they are simply a facet of your personality. Some say they cause health issues that are unresolved, underlying, dormant waiting to be triggered.... some say you stay at one end, to the detriment of the other, OR end up see-sawing between the two until you learn balance, integration of two unlikely pairings.
Next look at the signs, then houses and then aspects. Now the *others aspects* from these quincunxs/Yods as they can act like escape routes, that can help or hinder the expressions. A chart with lots of Yods (Finger of God) will always be *searching* for the divine answers to the meaning of life, to find synthesis
What tends to happen with quincunxs is that with progessions and transits will create temporary Yods aka 'Finger of god' configurations. Like with common TSquares, they create a temp Grand Square...

restriction and lack of affection in childhood. Father, males and/or (saturn) authority figure may not understand what brings you pleasure (venus)
Venus Quincunx Saturn
“You have difficulty seeing what you are actually responsible for in relationships. Consequently, you take on more responsibilities than necessary in order to insure the continuation of your relationships. Do people like you for you or because of what you do for them? You are easily confused on this point. If you are busy doing things for people, they never get a chance to know the real you.” http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/quincunxinterpretations.html
Sun quincunx neptune
“shows that you consider your responsibilities the most pressing in the world. There is an element of self sacrifice. You really believe people who suggest that only you can solve their problems. Because of this martyr quality, you seek the most demanding jobs or human situations in order to test your commitment to service. Unsure of yourself you continually try to find ways to prove your competence, but deplete your own energies.
Professional success will be difficult to achieve because of your preoccupation with endless trivia. Exaggerating the importance of superficial matters, you tend to get bogged down by them.”
From the book ‘Aspects and Personality’ by Karen Hamaker-Zondag
Sun Quincunx Neptune
“Your energy tends to be directed unrealistically. Your own sense of self changes as you learn from your own misappraisals of situations that are important to you. If you feel drained or frustrated it is always helpful to look at your overall direction in life and determine if you have taken on more through your high ideals than your physical vitality can sustain. It is always worthwhile to see how your ideas are received by others, to see if you can involve them in your vision. When you can't, avoid trying to do everything yourself. Slow down” http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/quincunxinterpretations.html

South Node in Libra 12th house, suggests poss had a monastic past life and have learned to balance harmonies, relationships. currently the libra qualities need tobe outgrown, isolation and need for privacy has to be overcome. Mid life is usually when we start to reach for North Node.
North Node in 6th house is to *be of service* to people, learning about health matters, details (all virgo traits) and then Aries is all about self, self self. It is THE most selfish sign in the zodiac in my mind but this is what you are called to do (not be selfish) but bring your karma forward to focus on *new beginnings* learn about your sexual nature (aries,taurus and scorpio are THE most highly sexed signs)
Hope this helps?

I love the parable, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, BUT if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.”
