Generally, I do not write about quincunx aspects in the Daily Horoscope, simply because there are always a load of minor aspects that would prove to make my day unending if I addressed every little aspect rolling through the day. So I typically stick with - trine, sextiles, square, opposition and conjunctions.

A quincunx is basically 'weird and uncomfortable energy' where two (2) signs pretty much have nothing in common, but everything in common, and sit there wondering what to do about each other. It's like they are saying, "What now?" This is how you feel completely uncomfortable in your own family, or with people you should feel comfortable with, but yet you have nothing in common, and sometimes you have nothing to even fight over, so you might just make something up in order to tango/tangle.

It's weird energy to say the least. You just cannot seem to land in the same space and it's like you are coming from different worlds that are not even opposite worlds.

Using myself as an example . . . I always say this about me and my Scorpion King, that we have everything in common, but nothing in common. Everything about us is just to the left or right of being opposite of each other. That last sentence is an important statement.

For instance, whatever is your opposite sign, the sign to the left or right of it is your quincunx. So for me, Sagittarius is my opposite sign. The signs to the right or left of it (meaning adjacent) is Gemini's quincunx. That would be Scorpio and Capricorn for me as a Gemini. This is important folks so get another cup of coffee so you can take this in because I happen to be engaged to a Scorpio and I have a lot of Capricorn in my natal chart. How in the heck do I reconcile these quincunx energies? How do I feel comfortable with my Scorpion King or comfortable in my own skin with my Capricorn heavy natal chart?

This is why you can read your Natal Chart or Solar Return or a Daily Horoscope and have a hard time reconciling what is comfortable and what isn't. How do horoscopes line-up to your chart? Well for starters, most of the time people are looking for something they can hold onto, or something that will help save them from themselves, rather than finding the glitch and doing the work to fix it. A lot of times people just don't want to do the work.

So back to having everything in common, but nothing in common. This is how siblings can be raised in the same house and come from two (2) completely different worlds. You have everything in common, BUT NOTHING IN COMMON, and you think to yourself, "Who ARE these people and why am I with them?"

I could write for days how much my Scorpion King and I have in common. Our mothers have the same first name, but neither was called by their first name, they were always called their nickname. Our fathers were both stationed in Korea. We have the same amount of siblings. We grew up in the exact same style house. Our high school mascots were the same. It goes on and on and on. Our first date we chose to go bicycling as we had that in common. He drove up in a Jeep Cherokee Laredo. HELLOOOOOO! I'm half-Cherokee from Cherokee, NC and my name is LORETTA! Everything we have in common is exact like that. It's bold, it's blatant and you can't miss it.

Now here is why we have nothing in common. I see nothing as an accident or coincidence, and he does. All of the things I listed mean nothing to him as 'a sign' that we should be together, to him it just is what it is. It's more like a fluke to him, and it is Divine Intervention to me. It was meant to be 'to me', and is circumstantial 'to him'. I don't have to be hurt or take it personal that he does not see things my way, HE'S QUINCUNX TO ME! Ya' see!

If we were offered concert tickets to the Symphony on the same night that we were offered concert tickets to a heavy metal concert, I would get someone to go with me to the symphony, and he would get someone to go to him to the metal concert. It would be a no-brainer. We would both want to go to either with each other, if they were on different nights, but not if they are on the same night. We will choose accordingly, and still go, with someone else. It would be a non-issue, no question, no argument, "Have a great time sweetie." We are independent of each other enough to feel comfortable in ourselves and not make each other uncomfortable making a choice we don't want to make. We force NOTHING!

We are both unquestionably outdoor and very active people. Neither of us mind getting dirty or sweating. And we both LOVE to giddy-up and go! We pack a picnic and then hit the road on day trips. One day out of the week, we hit the road for the day and go anywhere. We have so much in common, but then nothing in common. We could not be more opposite if we tried and we are quincunx to each other. I like whole kernal corn and he likes cream corn. We meet in the middle and choose corn on the cob.

It's Good to know and understand these energies about each other because not understanding these energies can either ruin a relationship or cause you to not even entertain what might have been a great relationship.

Now what about the Capricorn quincunx to Gemini and me being a heavy charted Gemini/Capricorn. I have my Moon and Saturn in Capricorn. How about that? It would be an easy guess by any astrologer on the planet that both my parents were military as Capricorn rules the military. And yes, both my parents were in the U.S. Army.

So how do I reconcile being comfortable in my own skin with energies that are quincunx to my sign (Gemini)? I simply choose. I just own that is who I am. I integrate that part of me that is so strong in Capricorn, into me. I work with it. Capricorn is an entrepreur. It is who I am and more.

I can't stand mayonaisse, but I can't eat tuna fish or potato salad without it. WEIRD! Well, quincunx's are just like that . . . WEIRD! How can I be with or eat something that is so contrary to me? I integrate the mayonaisse! In fact, I won't buy mayonaisse as I prefer to make my own.

The cool thing about having quincunx's is in the 'fulfillment'. Your chart quincunx's give you what you want and need. So work with it. The people in your Life 'can' also give you what you want and need.

My Scorpion King and I can have a relationship while giving each other what we want and need, even if he does not think just like me. He certainly feels the relationship is cosmic, but not the way I think of cosmic. And that's okay. He doesn't have to think like me for me to accept his definition of cosmic or vice versa. I'm guessing his definition of cosmic means wild.

What is important to me is that we can laugh our asses off with each other and at each other at 4:45 AM. We laugh A LOT and that comes with acceptance. One thing we have in this relationship is LOTS AND LOTS OF HUMOR! There is a lot of imitating each other in this house and if there is one thing my Scorpion King can do and that is imitate or do impressions of people. He honestly could have been a famous impressionist and played some of his characters on Saturday Night Live. He's pretty damn great at it.

So, when you see Quincunxes, you can remind yourself of this article. You will be challenged in these areas where the energy feels weird and kinda uncomfortable.

When you read your Natal Chart or Solar Return and say to yourself, "How can I be this and that?" where quincunx's are concerned, it will make more sense because sometimes what is written on one page contradicts what is written on another page. Well, welcome to yourself my dear little astrotator. We are all a dichotomy. Once you accept this about yourself, you can accept this about someone else, and then everyone else.

You may also see A LOT of quincunx's in your Compatibility Chart with your favorite people. Quincunx's certainly explain a lot and are super-enlightening if you just accept the commonalities and differences as - a fluke, coincidence, or Divine Intervention (like myself). It's okay. There is no need to force feed yourself on each other. Everyone wants to be accepted, so how about accepting that?

If you are looking at a Natal Chart that I wrote for you, the QUINCUNX a.k.a. INCONJUNCT LINES in the middle of your Chart Wheel will be the color RED.

A quincunx a.k.a. inconjunct is an aspect that makes "integration" a challenge. This is an aspect that should not be skipped over because it is actually an important piece of your Life puzzle. One very BIG reason is because 2 quincunx' plus 1 sextile make an isosceles triangle that is known as a 'Yod.' And a 'Yod' is also known as 'the finger of God,' or 'finger of Fate.'

Remember, quincunx means 'integration.' The quincunx is asking you to change something or make an adjustment in the 2 houses where the planets sit that create the quincunx. A quincunx is a 150° angle (8° orb or less). In medical astrology, the orb is said to be (2° to 5° degrees) and is considered the most important aspect in the chart. The quincunx glyph looks like a semisextile that is upside down.

A quincunx is often described as 'being between a rock and a hard place.' Therefore, the quincunx is described as a "hard" aspect, meaning it brings challenge. And challenges eventually build a stronger character. Through your own inflexibility, the quincunx will teach you to either "bend" or "break." Either way, you'll learn. And whether you learn the easy way or the hard way is certainly up to you.

A quincunx is thought to be one of the most difficult aspects to work with because it will not allow for retreat. There's no backing down when it comes to this aspect because you can't just think your way out of it, you have to take action on those thoughts. The quincunx will challenge you to trust your own intuition. Intuition is a very big deal when it comes to quincunx'. Remember, 2 quincunx plus 1 sextile makes a 'Yod,' which means the 'Finger of God.' Couple the intuition with the 'Yod' and you have a blast of intuition coming through to your "I AM" presence. This is your inner voice, which is God speaking to you and through you.

The quincunx is asking you to trust your inner voice. Use that intuition, so that you can change the dynamics going on in your Life. When you change the dynamics, then transformation takes place. When transformation takes place, then integration occurs. You will integrate "you" into your Life path instead of standing on the sidelines waiting for something to do it for you. You must do it.

If you just flat out refuse to trust yourself; refuse to trust your intuition or refuse to listen to your inner voice, gut instinct and hunches, then you will only find adversity and your adversaries staring you in the face. And if find yourself eye to eye with adversity or an adversary, believe me, you'll be the one blinking first.

Trust your intuition and then integrate it!

Look at the nature of the planets involved, then work that Quincunx!
