Sun Quincunx Rising.

So I've been reading about Quincunx since my Sun and Rising are exactly 150 degrees from one another.. It's a confusing concept for me. I do feel as if I don't fit into my outer "role".. But perhaps this is made stronger due to my stellium being quincunx my Rising? What I don't understand is what sort of integration I need to cultivate between my inner and outer self. How do I bridge this chasm between what I feel is me inwardly, and what comes to the surface? Any clarity would be very appreciated, as being a novice astrology student, quincunxes are a bit confusing for me.

mutableflame, you seem to have quite a good understanding of the energy of an inconjunct. You have described it very well. You have a stellium of mutable planets in relationship with your fixed, earth ASC - tricky!! I suspect that - in particular - any transiting planet (esp the outer planets) forming conjunctions or squares with either your ASC or the Merc, Uranus, Sun stellium will provide you with opportunities for learning how best to live with this complex set of inconjuncts.

I once described an inconjunct as akin to being forced to share a dwelling with someone whose behaviours and values were very different from your own. When I was 19-20 I had this very thing happen to me, and over time we found a way of living together without feeling constantly bothered and frustrated by the other. We found a narrow strip of common interest, and interacted through that. Living with such a fundamental inconjunct as you have will be a bit like that - but you are the one who has to determine the best way of working with it. Awareness of how this affects you is a necessary first step.

Tricky is a good word! Honestly I wouldn't even notice the affects of my quincunx, except for the fact that others consistently have a very different perception of me from my own self-perception. It's often shocking for me, since I feel I'm an internally unified (ego, emotions, etc..), direct and often one-track minded person. Ambivalence is a rare emotional state for me. So to hear of such stark differences in the views of others.. it's a bit tricky.

I agree with what you said. Cultivating an awareness of this.. split is a critical first step.. Thank you for your light R4VEN! I feel that now I must work on awareness of my outer-self while trying to bridge my need for taking on responsibility, as well as creating stability, with my more hippie/spiritualist Sagittarius nature.

Thanks again!

This quincunx you describe would only be effective IF the time of birth is absolutely correct and rectified. Plus it's not just sun, its mercury and uranus in that stellium that needs careful handling...

To add to problems is the lack of air in your chart which can sometimes cause, sweeping statement syndrome with not enough thought put behind speech...
Then, sun conj Neptune can cause an identity crisis and neptune keeps fudging the boundaries. Then having this stellium in 9th house suggests you will be required to *dig deep* within yourself to discover who you really are.

maybe this web link will help

Lastly, as the Asc is 27' in Equal house system, that stellium is in 7th conj 8th house cusp. So I see it as being foot in both camps and would suggest you research 7th to see how it may affect your one to one relationships..

My good God. The first link on the 8th house blew my mind! It's scary accurate.. Quite literally phrases I say to myself, and my most sensitive emotional spots! The article puts much to light which almost always remains in the deep, and dark due to my inability to effectively express it to others.. I still need to open the other links, but thank you for sharing these resources!
