I have Sun in Sagittarius in 5th House and Moon in Libra in 4th House. While these are good placements by itself they don't blend very well. At least, not for me... part of me is diplomatic homebuddy in constant need of secure home and commited partner and the other part is roaming free spirit in never ending search for "sourcerer stones" and intense love affairs.

But seriously, the natal Sun/Moon quincunx is not an easy one for me. I vacillate. This interp from one report fits quite well:
There is an ongoing, subtle conflict within you, between your conscious attitudes and aspirations, and your deeper emotional and subconscious beliefs, needs, and feelings. This creates considerable inner stress and sometimes paralyzing indecision, mostly due to the fact that you may be trying to follow a path that is at odds with your subconscious desires. Chronic tightness or tension in your body may well be a signal that you are denying or suppressing the messages from your subconscious or emotional self. Ideally, you will learn to accept the two quite different aspects of yourself and to express both of them. If you cannot do this, you're apt to attract many people into your life who reflect your denied or repressed qualities, and who seem to make your life difficult.

You've probably read about Sun sq Moon (your progressed positions) already.....

Just wanted to traipse on in here and give you some warm fuzzies!!

I was going to say the same thing, cz of what I've been reading recently regarding the Quincunx.

"... The planets and points involved in a quincunx don't understand each other. Unless it's an out-of-sign quincunx, the signs not only are of a different element, they are also of a different modality. For example, take Leo-Pisces. Leo is Fixed Fire, while Pisces is Mutable Water. It's difficult to see common ground between the signs.

Some keywords that describe quincunxes are: redirecting, challenging, requiring adjustments, diverting.

... people with quincunxes tend to compartmentalize the two areas of life indicated by the planets and points involved."

If you don't have that going on in a significant place in your Chart, then look into the comparison you posted "Sun Sag in 5th/Moon Libra in 4th" ...

If you don't at least check to see if the Quincunx applies, you'll overlook it if it does.

I can relate to some of the challenge between Houses.

What's your experience with Sun opposite Moon.

Karen Hamaker-Zondag:
The uncertainty generated by the square arises from the fact that the conscious behavior (Sun) conflicts with the behavior needed to give a sense of security (Moon). Therefore a square between Sun and Moon can make the native very unsettled, especially if the background of the elements is tense.
In the opposition, the kind of uncertainty is different. This opposition makes us painfully aware of our duality. Conscious behavior and unconscious reaction patterns clash with one another, yet always have something in common because the signs in which they are posited lie on the same axis. Therefore, when they are in opposition, the Sun and Moon can complement one another well once they make common cause. Until such time as they do (and this may take quite a while), the native will suffer from a nagging sense of discomfort and insecurity.
In either case, the native is inclined to adopt a certain form of behavior to the virtual exclusion of its alternative, and so the latter seeks to express itself indirectly. But if he does give both forms of behavior a chance, he generally ends up feeling like 'two individuals rolled into one' with first one, then the other in the forefront. Those around him never know what to expect, and the native feels plagued by inner instability. Usually he has an identiy problem and often wonders which character is the real him, to which the answer is 'both of you'.
The uncertainty can result in many things being left half done, or in perpetual changes of opinion, or in general dissatisfaction with one's performance; in short, a great deal of energy has to be expended on tackling inner insecurity before the native can begin to solve external problems.
Nevertheless, hard Sun-Moon aspects do have considerable energy at their disposal. The uncertainties and the obstacles produced by their tension compel the native, sooner or later, to start sorting things out. The tension between the Sun and Moon send him in search of answers to such questions as 'Who am I?', 'What is really implied by the difference between male and female?' and 'What is significant in a relationship?'
It is not uncommon for conflicts between the Sun and Moon to present problems with the life partner. Since, among other things, the Moon represents what a man is looking for in a woman, and the Sun represents what a woman is looking for in a man, the native tends to fall in love with somebody who jars him or her in some way. At the same time, the hard aspects provide sufficient energy to deal with any problems that may arise. The latter are usually caught in time because, being so insecure, the native is quite sensitive to them and is prepared to work hard to stop them escalating. Therefore it is entirely possible for people with a square between the Sun and the Moon to make happy marriages.

This is interesting...

None of the people I know with sun-moon opposition have parents that are hostile to one another...I guess it could be subjective and it may appear that way to the person with this in their chart.
