No matter how I look at it, it just seems similar to the opposition. Is there a HUGE difference between the quincunx and the opposition? They both just seem like a see-saw between two conflicting circumstances, and calls for balancing and acceptance of both energies.

Some people swear by them but I still can't see why....anybody wanna share their own experience w/ the quincunx?

I have:
Moon in Gemini quincunx Scorpio Ascendant.

I'm still not clear on what the interpretation for this aspect is, but based on the elements involved, my thoughts and emotions tend to clash. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to express my emotions. When I try to relieve my emotional burdens, I find myself drained for weeks at a time, plus even though I know I need my emotions to be human, no one seems to care about supporting me on an emotional level.

So, I tend to be in "Gemini Moon" mode if I have a problem. This doesn't usually end well.

@Lerena
Do you think that has anything to do w/ how you express yourself to others? since it involves the ASC. Does feel like a difficulty expressing the emotions externally or is it more of an internal emotional conflict?

I have trouble expressing my emotions externally as well. It's getting harder to hide my emotions though.

Very big difference. the quincunx is more amenable to change, with effort, than is the opposition, which is more locked in.

Opposition... The two planets are dealing with the same "thing" but drawing opposite conclusions. Gemini "all the thoughts" vs Sag "just the overview, please".

Inconjunct... One of you is in a library reading about sea life and the other is in a submarine wishing they had a good book to read.

The opposition puts the person directly in your sights, literally "There they are over there, opposite me, doing things the opposite way, looking from the opposite direction. Maybe I should wave."

The quincunx is when the person and you are located out of view of the other completely, with a faulty phone connection if you try to call. But you can't find the phone most of the time and when you do call which is only when you absolutely have to you can't understand what the other person is trying to say to you because of all the static.

This changes if they complete a pattern like creating a yod or if you both have a quincunx natally then you'll understand the "wth am I doing?" confusion that both planets experience when "connected" by a quincunx. But if it doesn't complete a pattern then go forth as if visiting an alien planet and having to talk slowly, clearly, simply and in small amounts.

@Ami
I'm still trying to understand my Moon quincunx Saturn >.< I remember you explained it to me but I'm still unsure about it. But since it's the Moon and Saturn involved, can I assume that it's going to be a more difficult aspect?

@Gemini Blues
Interesting explanation...so if you take the same example, but apply to the opposition, one of you wants to only read about sea life, and the other wants to be out in the ocean, but both still want something to do about sea life but in different ways?

@KoreAbyss
in your example, are you talking of quincunx in synastry? or natal?

Kind of. Opposition is same mode and same polarity. In my example, both are mutable and "masculine" signs, but fire vs air. So while both might be interested in the same thing, sea life in the example, air might be interested in learning all the details for the sake of learning while fire might want the knowledge (and just enough) to experience it, or to act on it.

In the inconjunct, mode, element, polarity are all different. Air is sitting in a library while water is sitting in a sub. Their interests intersect almost by coincidence, but when they do, each can bring new perspectives to the other.

Thanks! I have an idea now in my mind

An inconjunct aspect is halfway between a trine and an opposition.
It can at first appear slightly negative only to surprise you and act as a blessing in disguise.
