I don't have any quincunxes in my natal chart, but I experienced a double-whammy Sun quincunx Moon in my synastry with the Bull. The initial attraction was guaranteed by other aspects, but when those quincunxes came to life, it was like we were from totally different planets (make that Galaxies). I think this aspect is very difficult to handle in synastry. It takes a lot of flexibility and adaptability because you can't really get where the other one is coming from, you just can't see their side of the story. But yeah, he changed my life BIG TIME. ------------------ Every day is a battle with yourself, one you can never win, nor lose, nor abandon. IP: Logged |

Aries and Scorpio aren't that bad as quincunxes because both signs are traditionally ruled by MarsI am starting to stop believing in Pluto's rulership over Scorpio, not when there are a bunch of other transneptunian objects out there. I just can't help questioning stuff that seems based on outdated maternal. I believe in making adjustments after new discoveries are being made. Venus and Taurus aren't that bad as quincunxes because both signs are ruled by Venus.

I have my Sun Quincunx my Uranus/Saturn conjunction and I would LOVE to know if I excel in problem solving because I just got thrown into Nursing School at the beginning of this week. *facepalm* As for the humor, you'd be surprised at how many times I found inappropriate times to laugh. hehe
I've moved too many times for me to count. I didn't know that this would have anything to do with that, but I guess soo. IP: Logged |

Izo, I have someone's Sun/Moon semi-sextile my Moon/Venus, and there's a similar problem between us. Sort of a "WTF?" aspect, at times.DD, I think you're right where I'm concerned (re: needing humour to deal with the quincunx). It's when I can't laugh at myself, or find humour in a situation, that I get into trouble. (No way to detach.) IP: Logged |

Nope, but I do have a 12th house stellium that includes the Saturn/Uranus conjunction, my 12th house planets aspect many of my personal planets, and my 12th house saturn happens to be my chart ruler too. Guess what shift I work? haha
And my program is what we in the states call 'Liscenced Practical Nursing' (LPN). Its shorter than most of the other programs (12 months) and you get a diploma instead of an actual degree....I think. *edit* No wait, LPNs do have degrees...my bad.

Right now I work nightshift at the hospital and I love it (when I'm not dealing with the Supervisor's BS). I've always been a night person, which I heard was a very 12th house thing, so its perfect. Now just transitioning to long DAYS in a classroom tires me out. And here, Nursing programs can be anywhere from 12 months to 4 years, depending on what program and what degree you want (the type of degree affects your salary). Then you can go even further to get your masters or even a doctorate. IP: Logged |

Teasel,humour and laughter is a great way of detachment, though sometimes it can be also selfdefense. I remember, when I was younger and someone would hit me or hurt me in some other way, I would start laughing. Not hysterically. I would just laugh at them, I even did so with my mum one time. It gave me a (false) sense of power. They could hurt me and yet not get to me, or at least I was not letting them have the satisfaction of seeing me hurt. Though I was being "victimized", in a way I appeared as the stronger one, basically telling them: "You can`t hurt me. You may be older, physically stronger, more popular, more beautiful etc., but you can`t get to me. You`re a nothing." THAT was not a healthy way of the use of laughter. lol But other than that humour is helpful in detaching from an issue, as you have to look at this from a bit of an outside perspective. It helps seeing things from a different perspective, which is exactly what the quinkunx demands of us. SEeing things from a different perspective. Though I agree with Izo, very difficult to handle on a day to day level. Glaucus, MErtz called the semisextile confinis (which means, neighbouring). And I think Ptolemy called both, the semisextile and the quinkunx, just inconjunct. They are making a connection between planets that are naturally unconnected.

I have 4 quincunxes. I can easily relate to both the quirky and flexible approach to problems as well as being able to find humor in areas others dont. I have a pythagorean triangle between sun mars and saturn/uranus its tighter with uranus and at times I have a shockingly violent sense of humor that is very lighthearted. Although others see it as crude and offbeat. So I have to keep it to myself lol.I have not yet experienced major deaths and Im still waiting for any changes in residence or long distance travel especially with jupiter in the 9th qunincunx uranus in the 4th.

Actually... I see a lot of you disagreeing that the quincunx person would have a sense of humor because they have challenges in life. I actually disagree with that... I could see Quincunx interpretation of humor or wit being accurate. The reason I say that is because of the quote: "Humor is just anger turned into something else." (Don't remember who said it, and that's probably not a direct quote, but you get the gist). Essentially, if you look at it, comedians are very angry/sad people. They simply use humor as a coping mechanism to help transmute anger. A lot of comedians, if you really break down their routines, are making fun of other people, situations, etc that aren't pleasant to them. That doesn't come from someone who hasn't faced any challenges or who has had it easy. Humor is simply a way to dispel tension caused by rough situations (if you really think about it). So yeah... I could see the Quincunx being in the charts of comedians. I, of course, haven't researched it though. I actually have quincunxes myself, but only two. Saturn quincunx Chiron and NN quincunx Asc. Not sure how much they affect me. The Saturn/Chiron one probably does... IP: Logged |

i think if you replace the word HUMOUR with IRONY you will get closer to the quincunx attitude. you need a healthy sense of irony to deal with the pushme-pullyou balancing act that goes with this aspect. and if you get irony, you see it as humour as well...IP: Logged |

I think Quincunx could be a "Whaaaa?" aspect. Do you guys agree? Like you look at someone and just don't get the way they think?

now I think it makes a lot of sense to see Yod that is formed by 2 Quincunxes as is the first initiation that opens the initiate to inner knowing.IP: Logged |

I DO agree with the humor.I think this interpretation is pretty good. Not sure about the travel and death stuff, but the interp starts out well. I have Sun quincunx Ascendant, and I have the Pythagorean triangle if you throw my Moon or Pluto in there. My Moon and Pluto square my Sun, and trine my Ascendant. I've been to around 20 countries on four continents. I perform in an improvisational acting group (improv is most known for being comedic i.e. Whose Line Is It Anyway?). Improv also requires a flexibility obviously. This works for me. I also have the quincunx between Saturn and Jupiter. IP: Logged |

i tend to agree with katatonic when i look at my case.i only have 1 Quinqunx and it's between the Moon/SN in the 4th house and Uranus in the 11th. through my life since i was an infant, i went through many relocations, between parents, cities, countries and continents, and while i appreciate certain aspects of it experience-wise, i have lost many things including possessions both with material and emotional values, relationships with lovers, family and friends, opportunities, money, etc. etc. i'm always lamenting the transiency and lack of comfort. when i look at my life, the feeling that conjures up is "irony". i'm not devastated by the loss, but not finding it funny either. i lose, and it's an experience, and not many have similar stories as mine. so it's in a way special, but not exactly great!

I don't think "The quincunx aspect is a little like a bridge between signs that are different by element and modality" at all. I think it's quite the opposite. It prevents bridges from being built between planets. The energy does not flow between each item, they are disconnected.IP: Logged |

Yeah i know this pythagorean triangle its great aspect pattern honestly , look Louise L hay Saturn from 4th house Square Neptune in 1st and trine Uranus in 9th house , while Uranus and Neptune make Quincunx for lock pattern . She talk about how we can learn from our childhood (Saturn in 4th ) with Deep and very original wisdom (Uranus in 9th ) with such compassion and in healing way (Neptune in 1st ) of course when we consider the signs Leo , Scropio Pisces we get even better picture . She have another one pythagorean triangle : Sun (3rd house) trine Jupiter (7th house ) and Square Pluto 12th house , while Pluto quincunx Jupiter for locking . She had to change her entire subconscious habits (Pluto 12th ) in drastic circumstances( Sauqre sun ) by changing thoughts into new direction (sun rd house) and she get reward of such big picture (jupiter ) that is presented for public as guru (Jupiter in 7th ) . She is kinda very good example for this pattern . IP: Logged |

Yes I like that, not the death part (there are too many combinations and that's a whole study section of its own) and the travel part I'm not sure of either.The rest is rings true somewhat, and is a nice take on it all. I like the idea of the dichotomy of two different signs bringing a different perspective that may be socially less acceptable than the norm, rather than creating an internal struggle which I'm not sure is quite accurate. I have a Venus-Saturn quincunx and yes it makes me feel insecure in love at times but it's sooo good for giving me the ability to use my creativity in a practical way. :-) IP: Logged |
