Do Quincunxes count?
The quincunx and semi-sextile are to each other, like the conjunction and opposition are to each other. They are all mirror images to their respective other. This becomes most noticeable when you study your natal aspect combinations with transiting planets.
The conjunction and opposition will each produce a set of same aspects, at points in your transit charts: (sextile - sextile), (square - square) and, (trine - trine) aspects. The quincunx and semi-sextile do similar aspect trade offs.
Although, the quincunx and semi-sextile are considered minor aspects, they create unpleasant aspect combinations within the transit chart, of the natal charts they belong to.
Point in case;
Lets say you have Jupiter quincunx Uranus in your natal chart.
The aspect combination in your solar transit chart will fall in this order:
150 degree
(0 deg. JP 150 UR)
(30 deg. JP 120 UR)
(60 deg. JP 90 UR) <---
(90 deg. JP 60 UR) <---
(120 deg. JP 30 UR)
(150 deg. JP 0 UR)
(180 deg. JP 30 UR)
(150 deg. JP 60 UR)
(120 deg. JP 90 UR) <---
(90 deg. JP 120 UR) <---
(60 deg. JP 150 UR)
(30 deg. JP 180 UR)
starting point
(0 deg. JP 150 UR)
Now, lest say you have Jupiter semi-sextile Uranus in your natal chart.
The aspect combination in your solar transit chart will fall in this order:
30 degree
(0 deg. JP 30 UR)
(30 deg. JP 0 UR)
(60 deg. JP 30 UR)
(90 deg. JP 60 UR) <---
(120 deg. JP 90 UR) <---
(150 deg. JP 120 UR)
(180 deg. JP 150 UR)
(150 deg. JP 180 UR)
(120 deg. JP 150 UR)
(90 deg. JP 120 UR) <---
(60 deg. JP 90 UR) <---
(30 deg. JP 60 UR)
starting point
(0 deg. JP 30 UR)
The most disturbing part of the quincunx and semi-sextile aspects are found in the personal transit aspects. If you look at where the arrows are located, you will notice a (square and sextile) together and a (square and trine) together. These are common occurrences in the transits that have 30 degrees or 150 degree aspects in the natal chart.
When you try and read into these influences, where the arrows are, you will come up with Jupiter represents big growth and Uranus represents surprising developments. Include the aspects into the mix and you should get big gains that turn into surprising big losses. Or, you could have clouds of big losses that may have a silver lining in it.
When people are trying to understand why their life seems to be going into a no good pattern, the influences associated with the quincunx and semi-sextile contributes to about 75% of their problems. But, these aspect combinations can best be seen in a Vertical SunCycle Calendar. Beause, the total picture of aspects can be seen in one viewing. Whereas, with a pie chart, the chart must be constantly rotated in a laborious manner, to have the aspects appear.
Yes, the quincunx counts.
