...The quincunx aspect:

The quincunx aspect is a little like a bridge between signs that are different by element and modality. Therefore they allow the person to have a rather quirky, flexible approach to situations that may cause puzzles or problems to those who don’t have planets in these signs. For this reason it often appears in the charts of those who are skilled at problem solving.

Quincunxes often describe a sense of humour – the ability to see the funny side of life in almost all circumstances – so they regularly appear in the charts of comedians. This is particularly emphasised if the quincunx is involved in a Pythagorean triangle (three or more planets in a square, quincunx and trine interlocking aspect) the type of humour is shown by the planets involved in the configuration...
The quincunx aspect by itself will always show when there are changes in the life. The signs and houses involved describe the area of change. As the unexpected is a keynote of the quincunx, these changes require you to be both flexible in approach and ‘on your toes’ when they are activated.

The potential for Long distance travel is almost always shown in the chart by a quincunx, either through transits, progressions or directions involving a planet in the 9th house or the ruler of the 9th house. It shows so frequently at times of travel because travel itself requires you to be flexible and open to changes

The quincunx aspect is almost always present when there is death as death also describes a period of considerable change both for the person who dies and their family and friends. The quincunx will involve the eighth house or the ruler of the eighth and the house that describes the person who dies. E.g. if there is a transit of Jupiter in the 4th house making a quincunx to Venus in the 8th house, which in turn rules the sign on the cusp of the 4th house, then a parent is likely to be the person who dies.

Home moves also almost always have a quincunx transit, progression or direction as does conception and childbirth.

It can even show up when you meet the love of your life as this is likely to completely change your life.

I have some quincunxes in my chart

retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th
quincunx Sun in 5'20 Scorpio
quincunx Ixion in 5'25 Scorpio

I have a Pythagorean Triangle
Sun in 5'20 Scorpio,Ixion in 5'25 Scorpio in 2nd trine Moon in 3'11 Pisces in 6th,and Saturn quincunxes Sun and squares Moon.

In Right Ascension:
I have Sun quincunx Varuna
it's also part of a Pythagorean Triangle
Sun trine Moon, and Varuna quincunx Sun-Ixion and square Moon

In Right Ascension,
I have a yod of Eris quincunx Venus-Haumea sextile

I am not sure about the travel stuff either

I have Saturn in 9th that quincunx the Sun-Ixion

I did travel when I was in the US Navy

of course, I have a strong Jupiter influence with Jupiter in Sagittarius conjunct/oppose the Midheaven/Imum Coeli
I have Moon square Jupiter (it's closer in Right Ascension). I have Jupiter on the Moon/Ascendant midpoint and Venus on the Sun/Jupiter midpoint. I even have Venus trine Geocentric North Jupiter Node too.

All those things could factor into travel and humor.

Saturn quincunx Neptune is the only other one that I can remember.

I'm not that funny, usually, but my Dad did talk about my being a favourite with people, when I was younger, adding, "You were a little sh*t." In a good way.

Transiting Saturn is quincunxing my Moon-Sedna sextile for a yod, and I certainly don't feel like being a comedian. It's pretty much the opposite.

e.g. Merc Q Pluto > a brillaint detective
Merc Q Chiron > an intuitive therapist
Merc Q Neptune > a creative composer/poet/artist
Merc Q Uranus > a scientist, ahead of his time
Merc Q Jupiter > a philosopher, profound in ethics/metaphysics etc
Merc Q Saturn > a talented architect or sculptor maybe?

that could just be from the the 2 planets in aspect to each other and not the angular relationship between the 2 planets.

Mercury in aspect to objects beyond Saturn (outerplanets,some centaurs,Neptune trojans, transneptunians) would seem to indicate outside the box thinkers.

my best friend is a shaman,healer,psychic and a neurodivergent, and he has Mercury quincunx Neptune.

My shaman,healer friend is Dyslexic, and he has Mercury quincunx Neptune, His Mercury quincunx Neptune-Midheaven sextile, and so his Mercury oppose Neptune/Midheaven midpoint.
Yes..he can relate to thinking mainly in pictures,highly imaginative,and strong visualization abilities.
He also has Sun-Mercury-Eris conjunction which I believe plays a big part in his neurodivergent.

I am Dyslexic ,and I can relate strongly to thinking mainly in pictures,highly imaginative, and strong visualization abilities

I have Mercury parallel Neptune,Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint

I also think that my Mercury square Makemake and Mercury biquintile Eris also factor as well as Mercury,Saturn,Uranus,Sedna 11th harmonic isoceles trapezoid that has corresponding midpoint pictures: Mercury oppose Saturn/Sedna and Sedna oppose Mercury/Uranus.

any ways...Mercury-Neptune aspect could indicate a highly imaginative,visual,picture thinker

Neptune in 3rd could indicate the same thing. I have that placement.

I was into writing poetry,short stories,and reading a lot of mythology.

I won't really get into psychic,channeling stuff though. That's stuff that I'd keep to myself.....My Mercury in Scorpio in 3rd.

my Mercury-Neptune connections really played out big time

Different element, different modality. There is just NO common ground in quinkunx and semisextiles, maybe they are the most difficult aspects at all.
Even a square has something in common (modality), which of course means that squarins signs may be locking horns constantly (especially in fixed signs) or are always slipping away like quicksilver (mutable signs).

The opposition has the same modality, too, but with supportive elements.

But quinkunx and semisextiles. Phew *wipes sweat away* different modalities, different and *incompatible* elements -t his sounds like much work to come to a balanced agreement.

there are disagreements among astrologers when it comes to what the semisextile is about

also half a semisextile is the quindecile (15 degrees).

I like the interpretation of the semisextile here:
The semi-sextile (abrv. SSx) is an angle of 30° (1/2 of a sextile [60°]). A separation of 30±2° is considered a semisextile. It is the basis of all the major aspects aside from the conjunction and the quintile. This aspect signifies a moderate rapport with the involved planets, where they both support the cause of the other but might not have enough of a realistic understanding of that same cause to contribute much. It will be important pragmatic effort be taken to reconcile this issue and create results. Alternate names include confinis and inconjunct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_aspect#Semi-sextile

The quincunx (or inconjunct, abrv. Inc) is an angle of 150°, which is five-twelfths of the 360° ecliptic. A separation of 150±2° is considered a quincunx. The quincunx is said to be of moderate but somewhat unpredictable influence, bringing strain. It indicates difficulty and stress, due to incompatible elements being forced together. It can mean an area of self neglect in a person's life (especially health), or obligations being forced on a person. This aspect is also sometimes called the inconjunct, though this usage is technically incorrect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_aspect#Semi-sextile

yeah

but the word, semisextile technically means half a sextile. Maybe it needs to be changed.
We could just use the word,inconjunct

Robert Blaschke wrote some good stuff about 12th harmonic aspects in his book, ASTROLOGY A LANGUAGE OF LIFE: Volume II - Sabian Aspect Orbs.

I will share some of it later.

I also have the book, THE INCONJUNCT. I don't like how the author, Alan Epstein uses up to 10 degree orb for a semisextile and quincunx. I am like "WTF"

using orbs that wide, would run into other harmonic aspects like the biquintile,triseptile in regards to wide quincunx
undecile in regards to wide semisextile
