Saturn quincunx Mercury - astrological aspect

Astrology aspects - Saturn quincunx Mercury Mercury inconjunct Saturn shows that you are responsible and serious, but you emphasize these qualities too much, which can make things difficult. Overestimating what people really expect from you, you go to great lengths in their service. In your desire to gain approval from others, you indulge them to the point that they may become annoyed with you. Your willingness to be the 'patsy' for their failings encourages people to lose respect for you. Stop being the willing victim of those who will take all you can give, even if you become mentally exhausted in the process. You seem to have all the symptoms of a confirmed masochist, and this brings out latent sadistic qualities in others.

You will make progress as soon as you stop crucifying yourself for people who are too incompetent to help themselves. Turn your talents to such endeavors as architecture, drafting, engineering, research, science, welfare programs in the service of goverment, education, teaching, or physical therapy. In these fields you will be able to see rewarding evidence of your efforts. You will still be doing something for others, but you will be free from the harassment that sometimes occurs in personal contact.

Try to establish priorities in your life. Do those things that you know must be done before doing anything that other people suggest. Learn to say 'no' when asked to donate your time and efforts; you can say that your current obligations don't permit it. In other words, get people off your back, or it will be bowed under the burden. For the most part, such efforts are a useless investment anyway.

Don't look back, because you may be disappointed that you have not yet achieved your objectives. Make a firm resolve to indulge yourself more than you have, but don't indulge in self-pity. Learn from the past and turn over a new leaf.

You should take a good, hard, honest look at yourself. You may not realize that you are talented. Try to detach yourself from the opinions of others, and concern yourself with developing your potentials. In the privacy of your home, try your hand at some craft activity; you will find out how skilled you are. You should also realize that you don't have to be in the shadow of others. At the same time, avoid criticizing people for hurting you; they couldn't have done it without your permission. If you've been hurt, it was probably necessary. This may dramatize the fact that you don't have to win anyone's approval, but you certainly need to confirm your own competence.
