Quincunx (Inconjunct)

An awkward fit that calls for constant adjustment.

Quincunx (Inconjunct)

Definition

The planets are 150° apart. Their signs have nothing in common, so they struggle to see each other at all. The result is a recurring need to adjust, often around health, routine or obligations. It is a minor aspect but can be felt strongly with a tight orb.

In synastry a quincunx can feel like two people speaking past each other until they learn the other's language. See Birth Chart Compare.
