I have this ascpect in my natal chart and have tried to understand a bit more about the nature of a quincunx (compared to a square and opposition). How would you define it?
Cafe Astrology says the following:
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.
Even though I don't like to admit it, I might come across as contolling and argumentative in situations where I experience that my self worth is threatended. I think it often has to do with not feeling appreciated or respected. But instead of showing sadness, vulnerability and weakness, I transform these feelings into a weapon and attack the people or the ideas presented (only with words ). I can also relate to the fear of not being able to bear the burden alone mentioned above. There also seems to be a demand for perfection involved, in myself, in others and in the situations I am presented to.
I'm afraid I understand why the word compulsive is used, because my reaction is too strong. Afterwards I don't really understand what triggered the anger, and I'm sad. Partly because I see why people don't want to be around a person like this. I take it too far. The control can be about not seeing my own limits. I found this to be the case with authority figures and my boyfriend (ex). As an employee I can not talk to my boss in a know-it-all way. Certain things should be diplomatic presented, other things are better left unsaid. As a girlfriend I must respect my lover's choices and his fundemental character. After all, this is just what I seek. And if I take the time, his ways could be fascinating and even better than mine. Maybe there are other factors in my natal chart that accounts for this anger and controlling tendencies as well...
I believe the quincunx partly is shown in the bewilderment I feel afterwards. Is there something in this hypothesis? I am quite new to astrology. What do you more experienced astrologers think? It would also be nice to read other people's experiences with this aspect, Pluto/Mars or other planets. I read a few articles on internet, but the quincunx is often placed among squares and oppositions, not treated separatly.
