Sun quincunx (inconjunct) Saturn
Sun quincunx Saturn
The Sun forms a quincunx aspect to Saturn in your natal chart, suggesting there are many lessons in your life related to taking on responsibilities. You might struggle with taking on either more or less responsibilities than you should, but rest assured, with experience, you’ll arrive at the sweet spot.
Your inclination to go to bat for others is commendable, but it’s equally important to extend the same support to yourself. The challenge of not finishing what you started, especially in your younger years, is a common one. However, it’s also a sign of your potential for growth and self-improvement. By identifying your priorities and managing any associated guilt, you can effectively address this issue and move forward with your goals.
There may often be times when guidance and support are scarce, and you might find yourself unfairly judged or criticized, particularly by those in authority. This could lead to a pessimistic outlook, defensiveness, or health issues due to stress. However, left to your own resources, you have the potential to cultivate incredible resilience and self-reliance. As you gain experience and maturity, you’ll learn to filter out the critics, assess your achievements realistically, and avoid letting others’ negative expectations or unfair judgments limit your life.
Note: Quincunx and Inconjunct are terms that are used interchangeably for the same 150-degree aspect.
Astrologers tend to use a smaller orb for the quincunx aspect compared with major aspects like the conjunction, opposition, square, trine, or sextile. Commonly, the orb used is 2 or 2.5 degrees. In other words, if two planets are anywhere from 148 to 152 degrees apart, they would be considered to be quincunx.
Alternate interpretations:
Sun quincunx Saturn: You may underestimate yourself and your abilities, especially if you feel that you are being judged by those in superior positions. Your ego self is sensitive to being tested with your Sun in quincunx aspect to Saturn, but you know that you need to tests in order to become stronger. Allowing yourself to be noticed can be especially anxiety-provoking, and you might gain great benefit from developing your ability to be comfortable in front of other people. — Interpretation from the Astrology Profile for Women report.
Sun quincunx Saturn: You have to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill your personal destiny. However, you do have the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from your father or other significant men in your life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of you and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of your greatest handicaps, and at times you may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of your own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in your life. You need to learn to follow your own creative impulses and heart’s desires, regardless of what your critics or the authorities say. — Interpretation sample from the excellent Merlin report.
