Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Mars
When the Sun is quincunx Mars in the Natal Chart
With the Sun quincunx Mars in your birth chart, your instinctive actions often surprise you. Instead, they might cause you feelings of guilt because they are often not in line with what you feel you should do. This position suggests much inner restlessness, as you frequently feel out of step with your instinctive rhythm.
Knowing when and how to assert yourself can be something you frequently struggle with. You may have outbursts of anger that baffle others (and you), for which you feel guilty or awkward. Learning to take positive action that you are proud of–at the right time–is something that takes time for you, but is empowering and helps you succeed.
The challenge here is to integrate the qualities of Mars into the personality in a smoother, more natural way. Even so, you might adopt a highly appealing, distinctive, and effective style of expression.
Note: Quincunx and Inconjunct are terms that are used interchangeably for the same 150 degree aspect.

Alternate interpretations:
Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Mars: The excitement on which you thrive may be the cause of your basic instability. You are frustrated by “lazy” or indifferent attitudes and can turn your volatility into inflammatory health problems. Your haste can produce accidents and injuries which may involve your partners. Discrimination should become your watchword. Consider the views of others. Rather than scatter your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.
“There is a combative and defensive part of your nature that fears being taken advantage of. As a result of this concern, you develop a pattern of self-expression that is energetic and creative, but often leads you far afield from your designated goal. You are on the path of real development when your enthusiastic explosions of interest attract other people’s positive interest, and carry toward your aims, even when your path is rather convoluted.” — Interpretation sample from the In-Depth report.
