What are your experiences with this aspect?

Quincunx, inconjunct means you have to give something up. You have to let it go. If you have a quincunx with someone you'll not understand where they're coming from. I've had a quincunx with a person between our communication planets, specifically Mercury and Uranus.

We just did not understand what the other person was saying. It took a lot of work to just get what the heck they were going on about. Our communication styles were so incredibly different, our topics we desired to discuss were incredibly different.

The inconjunct when not attached to anything else, at least, is about confusion and having to just let whatever is creating the confusion go. You can fight against it by going another route to understand but it's never going to be as easy as if you were to have any other aspect.

Mars quincunx Moon. Mars doesn't understand where Moon is coming from, what makes Moon feel safe, what Moon needs. Moon can't understand what makes Mars act that way, what Mars desires, why Mars keeps taking those actions.

Eventually, Mars just has to go "Okay, I see that you need this (after an incredible amount of understanding) and it doesn't make sense but okay, you need it." And Moon does the same "You act this way, I can't understand it but okay.."

If it's anything like what I experienced it's like two ships passing at night in a fog, trying to get some answers from each other. A guy who can't see is trying to help a guy who can't hear (or read lips).

When it's attached to a yod in synastry I think it's a whole other kettle of fish.

No aspect is more frustrating than the inconjunct (or quincunx). This tense 150-degree angle links two signs that have absolutely nothing in common. Each sign is in a different element (fire, earth, water, air), a different modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable), and a different polarity (positive and negative). And yet, when two planets (five signs apart) fall within orb of the inconjunct, they connect even though they have zero understanding of each other. The result is a struggle between unrelated energies that have no way of finding a middle ground. This is difficult enough to handle by transit or in the natal chart, but imagine if you have to deal with this aspect in synastry.

How do you feel when a YOD is involved in synastry?

Id love to know your thoughts

Well some call it the finger of God and others call it just a midpoint configuration. In theory the yod would be much easier to deal with and it'd force activation of the sextile involved. This is because the apex planet is directly opposite the midpoint of the two planets that are sextiling eachother.

If your two planets are the sextile and the other person's planet is the apex then they would be pushing for you to use those two planets and by the energy activation in you they are being pushed to use that apex planet.

If you both owned one of the planets in the sextile then the apex planet's owner would be forcing you both to use the sextile energy together. They would have an inconjunct in their natal that caused confusion and a disconnect but suddenly that sextile is offering an opposition which is much easier to deal with.

I think that is why this aspect has been given such a strong name because it is an aspect that without completion or while it remains as an inconjunct or just a sextile it either causes complete confusion (inconjunct) or can sit there doing nothing noticeable (sextile) but when it all connects there are parts of you that finally make sense. You have probably felt the sextile's opportunity but not used it to it's full potential or were not able to reconcile a huge disconnect within yourself that this inconjunct has caused. Suddenly this person comes along and together you form this pattern that allows you to gain new understanding with a sense of flow. You connect parts which otherwise would never connect.

Perhaps it's the finger of god because elements which naturally dismiss are now in contact, like aligning heaven and earth, two incredibly distant yet inextricably linked pieces in the puzzle we call life are now hand in hand.

But that's just me throwing out ideas. I haven't studied my own natal or synastric yods enough to say much for sure.

Thank You Koreabyss, very insightful
