The Major Aspects

THE

MAJOR ASPECTS IN ASTROLOGY

The Conjunction: Planets and points that form a conjunction are
energies that are united. They are blended; therefore, they act
together. The closer they are to conjunction, the
more subjective these combined energies are. They don't stand
alone, and they have a difficult time truly acknowledging each other
as distinct or separate. In effect, conjunctions can be a blind spot.
When the Sun is in close conjunction to Neptune, for example,
others may note the distinction, but it can be hard for the native to
distinguish between their sense of individuality and their spiritual,
evasive, or roundabout nature. The native may just assume,
naturally, that others are much the same way.

The Sextile: The sextile is often read quite like a trine, although
there is a distinction between the two aspects. Sextiles, like trines,
point to some talent and ease. However, sextiles have a little more
"oomph" to them. While trines come so naturally to people that they
might have to be reminded of their own talents or tendencies,
sextiles are a little more overt to the native. These are the talents
that people appreciate in themselves. They may be more inclined to
notice and work on these talents. Sextiles are communicative and
relationship-friendly aspects. They point to energies that are capable
of being directed. Sextiles reveal the potential for intelligent use of
the energies.
The Square: This aspect creates tension between the planets and
points involved. Tension is necessary in order to stimulate action,
but too much tension translates to stress. The planets involved in a
square are acting at cross purposes. With squares, we may overdo
and run into countless obstacles before we "get it right". However,
squares force us out of complacency and get the ball rolling.
Squares are often more difficult when we are young, as these
aspects force us to grow and learn our lessons.

The Trine: Planets in trine support each other. Trines, by nature,

are accepting. They allow us to accept others, ourselves, and
situations. The talents that trines offer a native are so natural that
they are almost unconscious. Often enough, natives don't truly
appreciate the talents these trines offer them, and they may not try
to develop them. However, these talents are second nature and
completely natural. So, for example, if a man has Venus trine
Neptune, he may be poetic, romantic, or artistic, and he may easily
accept his romantic partner for who he/she is. Another man with
Venus square Neptune may have similar qualities, and may possess
a strong desire to accept his partner blindly, but doing so is not as
natural as the first man. He has to work on it, and might come up
against difficult situations in which he feels duped or abused by his
partners as a result of that acceptance.
The Opposition: "It takes two" is the expression, and the
opposition is created by dividing the circle by 2. Therein lies the key
to the meaning of this aspect: relationship. People with oppositions
seek out others, as if to mirror their own internal struggles. They
learn about themselves through interactions with others. Very often,
oppositions cause us to swing from one side to the other and we feel
torn. Oppositions represent a state of divided loyalties. Inner
discontent, uncertainty, and insecurity can be a result. While a
square is urgent and courageous, an opposition is unsure and
wavering. When we use our oppositions correctly, we are more
willing to consider the other side and we can be adept negotiators.
Difference between sextiles and trines: Both aspects show us
planet "buddies" who get along. But the trine buddies may take
each other for granted even though they derive pleasure from each
other, while the sextile buddies remain separate somehow, and
when they cooperate with each other they fully appreciate their
"friendship". The expression of the trine is very natural and
automatic, while the energies created with the sextile are things
that can be drawn upon if need be. With trines, the energies tend to
flow naturally into constructive channels, and with sextiles, a
conscious effort is required to push the energies into constructive
channels.

Difference between oppositions and squares: Squares create

the kind of tension that demands action. Oppositions also create
tension, but natives generally seek out others in relationships in
order to work out that tension! Note that planets in opposition
generally occur with compatible sign elements, while squares
generally occur between signs that are considered incompatible by
element.
Predominant aspects in a chart: conjunctions - focused people,
derive their motivation from within; with not enough oppositions,
hard to see the other side, easy to lose perspective. sextiles communicative, creative, expressive. squares - crisis-oriented
people, action-oriented, motivated, willing to tackle obstacles, don't
blindly accept things, energetic, strength of character and
will. trines - unchallenged, talented, accepting, comfortable,
complacent. oppositions - contradictory, seek balance in their lives
usually through relationships, insightful, they look for meaning in
life, inclined to project qualities onto others, unfocused, greater
capacity for objectivity, seek growth through relationships.
Lack of aspects in a chart: conjunctions - scattered, don't look
within for answers, flexible. sextiles - inclined to avoid creative
pursuits, are less self-expressive and communicative. squares - lack
motivation, take the easy way out, avoid confrontations,
unchallenged, habitual people. trines- not as balanced people,
conflict-oriented, driven. oppositions - subjective, don't need
partners to mirror themselves, self-contented, not as concerned
about growing through relationships or broadening their own
perspective, self-reliant.

The Quincunx Aspect

ASPECTS IN ASTROLOGY: THE INCONJUNCT
QUINCUNX

OR

The inconjunct or quincunx (the terms are generally used

interchangeably) aspect in astrology is formed between planets that
are roughly 150 degrees apart. If we use an orb of 2 degrees, the

planets or points in question can be anywhere from 148 degrees to

152 degrees apart.
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.
What I have found is that people with quincunxes tend to
compartmentalize the two areas of life indicated by the planets and
points involved.
When we express one of the planets or points involved in an
opposition, the other planet or point feels "left out". Nevertheless,
the opportunities to find a balance are there. With the quincunx as
well, it can be difficult to merge the energies of the planets involved.
But the difference here is that there is a sense that the
two cannot be merged, and this is where compartmentalization
comes into play. The areas of life described by the planets tend to
conflict with each othernot in as overt a way as is commonly seen
with a square or opposition, but the individual separates them either
consciously or unconsciously. This is why adjustment is associated
with the quincunxboth planets/points represent distinct needs and
areas of life, and it can take a lot of energy to sort them into
different compartments!
A couple of examples will shed some more light on the theory.
With a Moon-Venus quincunx, our emotions (Moon) and our
values/love nature (Venus) are difficult to blend. We feel the need to
separate satisfying the needs of our Moon (by sign, house, and
aspect) and the needs of our Venus (by sign, house, and aspect).
This will play out in a variety of ways, depending on the individual
involved, and depending on what the Moon and Venus represent, by
way of their position and what houses they rule in the chart.

Take for example a mother with this Moon quincunx Venus aspect.
She might have a difficult time blending her romantic life with her
role as a mother. If she is married, she may compartmentalize her
role as a romantic partner and her role as a mother. She might slot
the two roles/needs into different categories, and find it too
uncomfortable to take on both roles at once. If she is unmarried,
she may have a difficult time even imagining that she could fulfill
her children's needs and her partner's needs in a harmonious way if
they are done at the same time. She won't neglect either role, but
she will separate them. As a result, much energy is spent in her life
trying to deal with both roles or needs at different times.
Now, she may consciously separate these areas of life, slotting them
in such a way to keep them separate, or she may feel like life
circumstances force her to do so. Whatever the perception, the
challenge is coming from within her because it does not feel
natural for her to blend the two areas of her life. Integrating the
energies of these planets within her is the only solution if she feels
outside forces are causing her to make constant, energy-draining
adjustments.
On another level, if we equate the Moon with what makes her feel
comfortable, and Venus with what makes her feel good, there can
be a conflict between her social life and her need for safety. She can
feel ill at ease in social situations. Perhaps a vague sense of guilt or
fear accompanies her when she is playing the social butterfly. When
she isolates herself, however, and tends to her inner sense of peace,
she might feel lonely and unloved. Because Venus rules pleasure
and money, she may find that spending money on herself, or on
things that seem frivolous, takes away from her family or home in
some way. Another possibility is that the people she is romantically
attracted to threaten her sense of security in her family. Perhaps her
family does not approve of her partners, or she has difficulty
integrating her friends and partners with her family. Conversely, her
partners may have difficulty accepting her family.
Moon quincunx Venus is associated with overindulgence. It is not
hard to imagine that a person with this aspect may overdo comfort

food, spending, and so forth because a quincunx, when it is not

integrated and handled properly, leads to dissatisfaction with
both planets. The Moon and Venus both deal with comfort and
pleasure, and if we're unhappy with these areas of life, we are
certainly more prone to overcompensating.
Another example: A man with Venus quincunx Mars. In this
case, his Venus is in Cancer and Mars is in Sagittarius. The
differences between the needs of the signs involved
are emphasized because of the additional energies of the quincunx.
(If a quincunx weren't formed between these planets, and he simply
had Venus in Cancer and Mars in Sagittarius, there isn't a critical
relationship established between the energies of the planets). His
needs for nurturance, closeness, and warmth in romantic situations
and in partnership are at odds with his sexual and assertive needs.
If we tear this down to basics by equating Venus with
love/partnership and Mars with sex, we might find that this man will
find a way to compartmentalize these two needs instead of
attempting to merge them. Perhaps he will maintain a romantic
partnership (such as a marriage) and find other outlets for his
sexual needs by way of affairs in which he can act out his more
fiery, independent sexual nature that seems to run counter to his
need for security, romance, and tenderness in love. Because he
doesn't naturally see a way to integrate the two energies, he feels
the need to separate them. As with the example above, he may feel
he has to do this for some reason or another. Perhaps he feels his
sexual drive will interfere with the harmony (Venus) or family goals
(Cancer) of his partnership.
This aspect often plays out in such a way that people who he is
romantically attracted to are radically different than those he is
sexually attracted to. Taken at a different level, let's equate Venus
with finances and Mars with sports. Perhaps he has to face the
problem of not having the funds to finance his sports endeavors. If
we equate Venus with comfort and Mars with action, we might find
that he can't, for example, go on a vacation that combines lots of
activities with leisure. He will do one or the other! Or, he may satisfy
his desire to travel (Mars in Sagittarius) outside of his partnership

by going on trips without his partner. If we equate Venus with

harmony, and Mars with assertiveness, we might find that this man
separates the two drives/needs as well. He may go out of his way to
avoid asserting himself or getting angry with his partner, feeling that
it would be disastrous to his partnership, andredirect that anger into
another area of life. If Mars rules his 6th house, for example, he
might channel much of his aggression and assertion into his job. As
a result, he may seem like an entirely different person at work than
he is at home with his partner.
Sun quincunx Moon in the natal chart suggests an individual who
seems to live life constantly making adjustments and concessions.
There can be a tendency to offer too much and then feeling taken
advantage of. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem as well. The
native seems to expect that he or she has to make compromises in
life in order to get what he or she wants, but in the process,
undervalues his or her needs. When the native expresses his or her
will (Sun), he or she feels vaguely insecure, as the emotions don't
"back up" the will. When the native expresses his or her needs
(Moon), the ego balks. Indecisiveness is the result, as well as a
tendency to be quite unfocused, tense, on edge, and largely
unsettled. The native needs to work on accepting both the Sun and
the Moon in his or her personality in order to feel whole and to avoid
sabotaging relationships and life goals with self-defeating attitudes.
The bottom line, I have found, with the quincunx is that the
quincunx's "owner" perceives the energies of the two planets as
very separate and has difficulty satisfying the divergent needs
concurrently. Adjustmentsthat can be energy-draining are felt to
be necessary and accepted as a fact of life. From the outside looking
in, we might be puzzled as to why the person cannot fulfill the needs
simultaneously. Often, the individual has no idea why this cannot be
done, and might blame life circumstances or others for the
problem.
Some astrologers have associated quincunxes with health
problems. This makes sense, because the way I see it, there is a
lot of misplaced energy involved when the individual works to

compartmentalize the planets and points involved in a

quincunx. Guilt and a sense of failure are often a by-product of the
quincunx, and these can certainly contribute to health problems.
Quincunxes show areas of weakness, in terms of low self-esteem,
that others find easy to prey upon. The individual, by not accepting
the areas of life represented by the planets in quincunx, leaves
himself or herself open to being taken advantage of. Quincunxes
point to an area where we may have an inferiority
complex. We have difficulty integrating these energies into our
personality to the point where we are not happy with either
energy. Feeding one planet's needs is a separate activity from
feeding the other planet's energies. A vague sense of guilt is often
the result, and this can undermine confidence withboth energies.
The key to handling quincunxes is, firstly, knowledge, and then
integration. Awareness that the discrepancy lies within the
personality is essential before integration can occur. Quincunxes can
often make us feel that external events or other people are forcing
us to separate, compartmentalize, or redirect the energies of the
planets involved. We need to understand that it is, in fact, ourselves
who are compartmentalizing. These needs are especially difficult to
integrate because they are not as "in your face" as aspects like the
square or opposition, and the nature of the quincunx itself is
awkward.
Look for quincunxes in a composite chart to see what basic energies
of the relationship the couple will naturally tend to
compartmentalize. The planets involved in a quincunx in the
composite chart can be the source of weakness in the relationship,
unless they are consciously worked on.

How to find the Quincunx/Inconjunct in a

chart:
Look at the planets in this chart:

Note that the Moon and Venus are quincunx. The Moon is at 28
degrees and 25 minutes of Pisces:
28

25'

and Venus is at 27 degrees and 41 minutes of Leo:

27

41'

If you were to add 150 degrees, or 5 signs, to the Moon, you would
arrive at the point 28 degrees 25 minutes of Leo. Venus is 44
minutes (less than one degree) away from the quincunx, which
would be within orb.
Jupiter, at 24 degrees and 21 minutes of Leo, would not fall within
orb, so we would not consider the Moon and Jupiter as quincunx.

Interpretations of the
Quincunx/Inconjunct Aspects for the Sun
through Jupiter

The following interpretations are from the Indra report. We've

included interpretations of the Sun through Jupiter in quincunx to
the Moon through Pluto, although more (including the Ascendant)
are interpreted in the Indra report.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Moon

Your perceptions of others and of life circumstances alter as you get
older. As others misunderstand your intentions and you misjudge
others' motivations, natural corrections occur for you. It is through
concentrating on the core values of communication in relationships
that you make major adjustments between your ego drives and your
emotional needs. This becomes a critical mechanism for personal
growth and development.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Mars

There is a combative and defensive part of your nature that fears
being taken advantage of. As a result of this concern you develop a
pattern of self-expression that is energetic and creative, but often
leads you far afield from your designated goal. You are on the path
of real development when your enthusiastic explosions of interest
attract other person's positive interest, and carry toward your aims,
even when your path is rather convoluted.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Jupiter

Laziness or overextension is a big problem for you at certain points

in your life. Any personality difficulties you have (including issues of
value) are cleared up through ever deepening self appraisal and
honest reflection on how past expectations match your history.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

It is easy for you to take on responsibilities that aren't yours while
ignoring ones that are. Because you work hard and aren't always
recognized or compensated for it, you often "run out of steam"
before your work is done. Your life works best when you learn to
take care of your most important responsibilities first.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

Your self expressive urges are usually misunderstood by people and
this creates frustrations for you. As you disconnect from the need to
be understood and get more in contact with the will to achieve
positive results from your actions, your true self emerges from the
core of your personality. You grow by learning to leave well enough
alone.

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

Your energy tends to be directed unrealistically. Your own sense of
self changes as you learn from your own misappraisals of situations
that are important to you. If you feel drained or frustrated it is
always helpful to look at your overall direction in life and determine
if you have taken on more through your high ideals than your
physical vitality can sustain. It is always worthwhile to see how your
ideas are received by others, to see if you can involve them in your
vision. When you can't, avoid trying to do everything yourself. Slow

down, "if it is worth having it is worth waiting for."

Sun Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

You are forced to focus, time and again, on details that you would
prefer to ignore. When life slows down or becomes uncomfortable,
simplify and be patient. You are changing and growing in ways that
you can scarcely perceive. Stay involved in your everyday routines
and only force a change on yourself when you feel stuck in some
repetitive pattern.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Mercury

You end up confused at times because you read more into
communications than are there. It's good to be able to read
between the lines - just make sure you are also reading what is on
the lines. Your expectations and imagination are assets as soon as
you are able to develop a method for expressing your true feelings.
Since many of your feelings are hidden from you, self expression
becomes a path of self discovery.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Venus

The frustration you experience in life often comes because you get
what you ask for from other people (and life in general).
Unfortunately, what you ask for isn't what you want. Partly, you are
slowly learning better communication skills, and partly you are
learning to understand your own deeper cravings as they are. You
see the unacknowledged and undigested parts of your sensitivity
and creativity present in others, but, these are really projections
that you have to own within your self if you are to change for the
better.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Mars

Learning to be emotionally consistent is harder for you than for
most people because your feelings and desires cover such a wide
range of possible expression. Your manner of self expression can
inadvertently add weight and encouragement to components of your
personality that you actually wish to minimize or even transform. It
takes much experimentation with relationships in order to have
emotions that serve your higher needs rather than just running
amuck on their own mission of blind, disconnected expression.
Either artistic or idealistic goals are necessary to achieve
satisfaction.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Jupiter

To really understand others and life itself, you need to allow others
to know you. You always "land on your feet" but often so far away
from where you expected or where you said you will be, that you
confuse others. Practice being more reliable; then, you will
understand yourself, others and life all at once. Your optimism needs
focus and to be harnessed to specific projects.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

Your assumptions about life and yourself are colored by your early
childhood experience of inconsistency and uncertainty about your
parents' roles. They seem to have been reversed. This has left you
uncertain as to what to do or what you are capable of in life. As you
become more certain as to your true responsibilities in life, your
vision clears as to what you can accomplish. This is also the key to

becoming more productive. Through accomplishment you can

become more knowledgeable as to how your habits and procedures
affect the life circumstances in which you find yourself.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

You may have to sort through the "hidden messages" you received
as a child in order to make sense out of some of your adult actions.
You act, at times, without any forethought. This is because you are
driven by forces out of your immediate awareness. Your
spontaneous bursts of enthusiasm either serve you well or they
don't. Early in life you may have been "told" that you should be
different, but, your differences will stop you from succeeding. It
takes time and adjustment to really learn that it's okay to be both
unique and successful.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

Romantic and idealistic, you easily project qualities onto situations
and people that they can't possibly live up to. The root of this
problem is really inaccurate self appraisal. You expect more from
yourself than is realistic, then react to your shortcomings with guilt
driven service to others and deep expression of overly sympathetic
feelings. In the long run you have many opportunities through this
aspect of your nature to refine and express your higher vision of the
truth to others. Through this expression your daily life becomes a
clearer picture of your true inner being.

Moon Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

You confuse intensity with desire, and need with love. As a

consequence of this, your relationships with others (especially

romantic partners) can be powerful and "spicy" without engendering
much closeness. It takes time for you to recognize the habits that
get in the way of intimacy; it takes time to alter them once
recognized. Letting go of negative history lays the groundwork for
change. Give others permission to be different than everyone else
has been before. Through this, you give yourself permission to be
different.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Mars

General circumstances as well as other people encourage your reach
to exceed way beyond your grasp. Anger and impulsiveness carries
you way beyond your resources. Left in a highly overextended
position, you can end up wasting immense amounts of energy trying
to do what you said you would do, or running away from situations
you created through lack of forethought. Recognition that your
ideals are different from the actual circumstances sets you in the
right direction.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Jupiter

Exaggeration is second nature to you. Whatever you focus on tends
to grow in your mind without anything happening in the external
world. Circumstances in life can easily seem much better or much
worse than they really are. Learn to trust other people's assessment
and to judge life more on the concrete facts and less on moral
pronouncements which tend to be very colored by self justification
and avoidance.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

Putting your life in order will require exercising positive judgment as
to how to get the large projects you envision to manifest. The sheer
scope of your goals in life can require more effort than is
immediately obvious. Hard work can take its toll on your health.
Correct partitioning of big ideas into segments that are achievable
one at a time and exacting uses of your time is the way to move
forward while maintaining inner poise and outer health.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

The new and unusual things that occur to you may carry you far
from the basic needs of your everyday life. Good ideas do not
necessarily require you to act immediately to bring them about.
Positive innovation will require you to alter yourself and your basic
habits before you will see much change in the world or your
environment.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

Lots of time and effort can be wasted when you plan on things that
are way out of reach. Your imagination and ideals serve you well
when you are careful to keep the sequence of essential happenings
in mind and accept your own idiosyncrasies. Be careful you don't
promise more to others than you can deliver. Self-honesty is not
easy but it is essential in order to develop.

Mercury Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

The compulsive side of your nature may lead you into being way out

of control. Your judgment on circumstances (as well as yourself and

others) can be so severe that you aren't able to make intelligent and
consistent progress in life. Strive to be more trusting and less strict
with yourself and your life is easier.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Mars

You are easily led into doing other people's jobs for them. You want
others to think well of you and get confused as to your real
responsibilities. Learn to contain yourself in relationships and be
more demanding of what you want. It can be frustrating for you to
always be chasing an ideal and to not be given any real opportunity
to get satisfaction. Clarity in your interactions and correct evaluation
of what you really want helps to bring more joy into your life and
gives you better use of your energy.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Jupiter

You easily overextend yourself. Overindulgence and exhaustion can
come from feeling over-optimistic about yourself and what the world
will do for you. You take on obligations that are other people's
responsibilities because you feel so good about yourself. You are
happy and healthy when you learn how to set real limits without
being talked or coerced into overdoing it, in some area of your life.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

You have difficulty seeing what you are actually responsible for in
relationships. Consequently, you take on more responsibilities than
necessary in order to insure the continuation of your relationships.
Do people like you for you or because of what you do for them? You
are easily confused on this point. If you are busy doing things for

people, they never get a chance to know the real you.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

Learning to let go of the past means being willing to release
relationships you have outgrown. Further, you need to reevaluate
the way you imprison yourself in mindless routines, then revolt
against them. Different is not improvement necessarily, yet change
is integral to development. Learning to abruptly alter circumstances
without emotional turmoil is the way of growth. You need freedom
through relationships, not freedom from relationships.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

You are suffering at times because you are attracted to inaccurate
perceptions of others. This is based on incorrect appraisals of who
you are and where you are going. You approach the unachievable
with naive confidence, then get confused when you aren't able to be
complete with your various projects. This creates an environment
where others find you unapproachable and difficult to know. As you
show genuine self-acceptance (including your limitations) your range
of love expression increases.

Venus Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

Fear of disappointment and fear of others is the mechanism for
keeping your love nature on a roller coaster. Growth requires you to
be honest as to what is causing your fears. They are rooted in your
lack of good boundaries and lack of positive self esteem. You are
easily pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people's lives
because you feel it is your lot in life. Further, your unconscious
compulsiveness first ritualizes then continuously repeats self

defeating and denying reactions to others. Careful examination of

your routines and feelings about yourself are necessary to free your
love to develop and grow. This creates a deep, inner healing.

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Jupiter

Taking care of others can be a way of putting them down. You need
to recognize your own competitive instincts for what they are rather
than masking them in the idea of service to others. Evaluate any
projects before you get involved. Your great energy and
humanitarian spirit can get linked to other people's unrealistic
expectations in a way that leaves you drained and unappreciated. If
you are able to evaluate your everyday habits in a positive way, you
will see whether or not they really support your long term goals.

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

Your sense that only you can do something right is lodged in your
imbalanced self picture. Too much work and too little spectrum of
relating leaves you feeling slightly victimized by life. You create your
own limits. Slowing down and quieting down helps you see this. You
need a better sense of time, then you achieve better results with
less effort. You can do this as soon as you are more balanced in
your outlook and your judgment works in a less comparative mode.

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

You want something different than the rest of society and this in
itself is neutral. Your frustrations can arise because your manner of
expression of your unique desires cuts against the grain of what
other people expect from you and your methods don't achieve your
goals. Slow down - your intensity and drive can leave you drained

without getting you closer to your goals. Only when you are able to
hold to a course of action for a long time are you able to get results.
Your attempt at "quick wins" always requires you to start over.

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

Your idealism and inflated expectations of others and life can lead
you into very frustrating circumstances where you feel emotionally
and physically drained. Your energy and emotions strengthen as you
learn how and where to be involved in other people's projects. You
have difficulty learning realistic boundaries with others and realistic
limits as to what you can expect from yourself. Artistic expression
can help give form to your humanitarian temperament.

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

You suffer by having a picture of just what needs to be done and
how it is to be accomplished. This can cause you to be controlling
and argumentative. When you feel the weight of the responsibilities
that you have taken on or when you feel lonely and isolated, then,
you are ripe for personal growth. Your desire, manner of expression,
and the way you use energy will have to be changed - to be less
compulsive, less forceful, so you are able to achieve greater
accomplishment and more personal happiness.

Jupiter Quincunx (Inconjunct) Saturn

You easily overextend yourself, then wonder why others take
advantage of you. Learning to see your real obligations without
being talked into having an overblown picture of yourself is the way
to success. You can get in a trap of believing that only you can do a

certain task, thus you end up having to do it. At root you may find
the same item in your personality that throws your self picture
askew is that quality which causes you to develop a self-righteous
attachment to your deeply held prejudices.

Jupiter Quincunx (Inconjunct) Uranus

Overly ambitious, you have an intuitive grasp of the big picture,
which stems from optimum flexibility of your values. You are easily
led by your impulses to quickly adjust to deep changes in your
values. Without discipline you will be in trouble because your
enthusiasm will carry you into uncharted waters. Expression of your
energy can get you into trouble. Slowly, you learn to harness this
expression into something truly creative.

Jupiter Quincunx (Inconjunct) Neptune

The imaginative and humanitarian side of your nature needs lots of
exercise in a "trial and error" manner before you are able to get
your best skills to emerge in a way that is non-intrusive and can
elicit the best qualities in others. The artistic side of your nature
may seek a manner of expression that allows you to stay behind the
scenes so you do not have to climb the learning curve required to
interface directly with the public.

Jupiter Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

Your overly self-secure mode of interacting disguises some deep
distrust of your own foundations. Behind your flamboyance and
manipulative assertions are some profound insecurities. When you

come to terms with your own weaknesses and see them as not so
profound or bad, you will simultaneously become more open and
acknowledging of other people's values and points of view. This lays
the foundation to use your vast insight and expanse of vision in a
positive manner.
