This is not the first time that i've read or heard somebody saying this, so is this a true statement?

To be honest, since I have a lot of them in my chart, I feel like I can notice them a little bit more in my personal natal chart. Therefore, feeling the importance of them.

From The Arkana Dictionary of Astrology ...

quote:

---

inconjunct The term is frequently used in modern astrology. It should be properly used as an equivalent ... for DISJUNCT ... forms no aspects ... void of influence ... as aspects are concerned. The term was also applied ... to the QUINCUNX aspect of 150 degrees, which is widely regarded as an aspect of some power...

---

The quincunx should be considered a major aspect. It is also a standout since it is the only 30-degree aspect created by dividing the 360-degree circle by a fractioned number (2-2/5). My impression is that for some people's charts it is the pivotal aspect for understanding personal growth and transformation.

Certainly for a person who has lots of them, or has a Yod configuration, the quincunx becomes a major part of the chart to interpret it fully and properly. Just as the 'minor' bi/quintiles forming a grand quintile in my own chart become as important as some other major aspects.

As with any aspect, the more exact it is the more potent and more important it is.

The orb with this aspect is tricky, but not a strict 1 degree. You can use at least 2 degrees. My birth chart has Venus 28TAU49 quincunx Jupiter 0SCO26 <1*37'>=151*37'.

This one is an example of why it is important to think of aspects as created by moving planets. In a separating quincunx involving the Moon to Sun, for example, you have the Moon first passing a 144* bi-quintile to the Sun, which can clearly be shown to have an orb of a couple degrees for natal purposes. So that takes it to about 146. Then you've got 1-2* 'rest' or fade out before the applying quincunx/150 fades in. Then you've got a shorter distance to the next aspect, the septile/154*18'. My preference is 147.5* to 152*.

What some think are quincunxes at 153-154* are actually Septiles. You can't count them in Yod configurations.

So orbs of influence for aspects are not necessarily equidistant. With the quincunx the orb of influence could be wider on the applying side, shorter on the separating side. (This may actually be true for most aspects.) Astrologers generally use a preference for orbs that we arrive at over time, or we just go by a particular school of thought. Truth is with anything mathematical, a conclusion can be reached if we have the time and aptitude to do the right kinds of tests. Think of it as astrological addition and subtraction.

Neither of these are personal planets, and the description of this aspect I've read is not me.

You may have to reconcile being extravagant with being prudent.

Does this fit? in which houses are they because the houses have to be reconciled, too.

It is an aspect of adaptation!

That I'm able to always adapt?

My childhood, while happy, was poor. There were no extravagances. In my 20s, on my own a thousand miles from home, was when my extravagance began. The real me emerged, and I liked to spend money...a lot...but not really pay the bills. In my 30s, I figured out how to pay bills first, then spend the rest. Still today, 2nd house Libra Jupiter, I'm too indulgent with myself and generous to others. I wonder if Saturn will have a lesson in prudence in my later years. I might have to retire in a less developed country. 9th house Taurus Saturn.
