Before I begin I’ve got to say I’ve never really paid that much attention to yods. I know they are significant but as to how I’m not really an expert. So that part I’ll leave for you to ponder.As for the synastry of quincunxes. I found it interesting that it’s your Moon in ARIES quincunx his Sun is SCORPIO, the reason being that most aspects seem to take on the qualities of the signs they occur in as part of the natural zodiac. If you use the universal starting point of Aries, the quincunx signs are Virgo and Scorpio. So an Aries/Scorpio quincunx is very ‘pure’ in a way. It’s also worth noting that Aries and Scorpio shear the same ruler (or co-ruler in Scorpio’s case), and I’ve often wondered is there is something potent energetically about Scorpio/Aries quincunxes and Taurus/Libra ones too.
To Aries, Scorpio represents the 8th house mystery and intimacy. When there is a quincunx in synastry (by degree) it makes the Aries planet person very curious about the Scorpio planet person. There’s a desire to know what’s really going on beyond the surface with the Scorpio, and to know what make them tick. Aries can be very direct and open about their curiosity, but Scorpio waits until the feel ready to reveal what’s up their sleeve, and they have the patience to stick it out. Because it’s your Moon in Aries, I’d say your curiosity about Scorpio is tied to your sense of security somehow.
To Scorpio, Aries represents the 6th house of rearrangement and improvement. Scorpio planets often find the Aries planet helpful to them in some way. Your very presence illuminates certain issues to do with how he utilizes his self-expression, and ways of showing affection. Sometimes there may be a feeling of disconnect between you, and this can feel awkward at times. It’s like his slow and probing Scorpion tendencies don’t know quite what to do with your Aries spontaneity and directness of emotional expression. When such encounters happen this often leads to some self-reflection on his part, so that the next time you meet he may modify his reactions or behavior somewhat, to produce a more smooth interaction.
He might freeze up on you occasionally, as if he needs to reconsider something, and then come back to you later once he’s figured out the right approach. Something about you would inspire a process of trial and error within him, as he seeks to improve the way he interacts with you. In a way he admires your Aries qualities, and probably feels he could learn a few things from the way you emote. He may also feel a desire to ‘fix’ whatever it is about your interactions that he finds unnerving. This is probably because he want to make a good impression. From your side, you feel a strong urge understand why he does what he does, and could find it a bit frustrating when he back tracks from you, only to pop up again later with a new approach. Both of you feel a desire to get to the bottom of what’s going on between you. More likely you want to know what he privately thinks, and he want to know the ‘right’ way to connect to get a good response.
Quincunxes often inspire a desire for CLARIFICATION between people, and the two people tend to maneuver around each other in various ways, in an attempt to get this clarification. They try different methods of doing things together, and sometimes there’s a bit of fumbling and misunderstanding along the way.
With the Aries/Scorpio quincunx, private Scorpio admires the authenticity and openness of Aries, and feels they could improve upon themselves by learning some tips from Aries. And it may take them a while to figure out how they’d like to approach a situation with the Aries person, as they’d like to do it ‘the proper way’. Meanwhile the Aries person could start getting impatient, wondering why they can’t get an answer out of Scorpio straight away. Aries may find Scorpio’s reluctance to act mystifying. They start wondering what exactly is going on with the Scorpio person anyway, especially since the Scorpio person already fascinates them. Aries can sense some intense undercurrents in the Scorpio person’s nature. But what is that intensity all about? This is one type of misunderstanding that can occur.
Another misunderstanding that can happen is that sometimes the Aries person may be so concerned with getting their point across, or expressing certain concerns (Aries can be pretty full on), that they miss subtle cues from the Scorpio person (the Scorpio person’s effort to connect) and then Scorpio person can feel like their efforts are being ignored. This can lead to hurt feelings on either side, because when Aries notices that Scorpio is getting moody and distant, they wonder what the problem is and may feel rejected.
It’s not all bad though, after hashing things out together a few times, these two very different signs start to come to grips with where the other is coming form. Aries loves to find out about experiences the Scorpio person has been through in life, and to hear about their personal take on this. They feel the Scorpio person can give them a lot of insight into various situations in life. Especially psychological stuff. Scorpio too, appreciates the insight they learn about from the Aries person. It’s like the Aries person is able to point them in the right direction to do things in a ‘better’ way, and they find Aries to be a useful ally to keep around. Scorpio often cares a lot about perfecting the connection they have with Aries (even though nothing can be perfect), and tries hard to fix any problems that arise.
While it’s true that Scorpio is the 8th sign from Aries, and that Aries is the 6th sign from Scorpio, things are not always as clear cut as I’ve mentioned above. The general meaning will apply, but… there’s some blurring of roles at times. Sometimes the Aries person will feel inspired to change their methods, and to get things done the ’right’ way because of the Scorpio person. And sometimes the Scorpio person wonders what’s really going on inside the Aries person’s head, and what their motivations are. There may be some flip flop between a 6th house mode, or an 8th house mode, in the relationship. I was very clear cut in the descriptions above so that the two different modes of behavior with this quincunx would be apparent. The distinctions above do apply but there’s some flexibility there.
Getting back to specifics in the two natal charts, Sun/Moon and Venus/Moon aspects are typical attraction aspects, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a spark. Although, with the quincunx the connection is a bit strange and awkward. But when two aliens get together they so much that’s different and learn about each other. The undercurrents themselves are what makes the connection a fascinating and illuminating one. Why is this other person so weird?… Lets find out. It’s that sort of feeling.
With his 9th house planets quincunx your 7th house Moon, it’s like there are some issues with adapting his morel code/world view to your relating style. Is there any reason he might have a morel issue getting involved with you? Are you a lot younger/older? Or is one of you taken? It’s like he sees you as having charm but may have qualms about being with you for some reason. Like he’d feel funny about it, and you might feel funny about making him feel that way in the first place. I hope this makes sense. It’s not impossible but there’d have to be some negotiations around him feeling morally okay about being with you, and you not feeling like you’re putting him in an awkward situation for the sake of the relationship. Other factors in the synastry could overcome this though, especially soft aspects which pave an easy way towards things.
Anway angel4845, I hope this was helpful to your understanding this connection. Please let me know how this fits.
