Moon-Jupiter Quincunx

(Transit. Moon → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Moon quincunx: What prevents a person from sensing God through the senses? Atheism. This individual will find it difficult to understand certain inner feelings, emotions, and physical states within the areas of the Planet. The cosmos grants him the ability to emotionally and physically perceive his vibrations in these areas, but this requires a certain inner tuning and purity—specifically, of the physical and astral bodies. At a low level, this may manifest as ordinary earthly circumstances in the planet’s spheres barely affecting the person emotionally, which may disturb him, as he may consider himself abnormal or deprived by fate. Yet attempts to experience the same emotions as others will end in failure and decline. The work here lies, on the contrary, in eliminating coarse emotions and physical excesses within the planet’s spheres and carefully attuning to (the only ones satisfying for the individual) cosmic vibrations, subjectively perceived as superhuman, abstract, etc. For example, a Moon-Venus quincunx produces a person for whom ordinary social and sexual relationships will not bring deep satisfaction—they will merely skim the surface of his feelings, and this is as it should be: in social interaction (and especially in love) he is attuned to subtle cosmic vibrations, and all his attempts to be “like everyone else” and profane them will end in nausea, while internally sowing despair, sorrow, and protest—understanding the true causes of which will be quite difficult for the person. Working with the Moon quincunx develops a subtle, instinctive attunement to cosmic radiations within the planet’s spheres (a cosmic medium)—a person who can give people much, if he manages to inwardly, subconsciously accept cosmic ethics in these areas; however, this always implies enormous sacrifices on the part of the ego. Jupiter quincunx: The existence of God awakens in me a sense of inferiority. This aspect promises unusual expansion of possibilities within the planet’s spheres, connected with access to the cosmic egregore, provided the person can reach the corresponding vibrational level and master its ethics, which may sometimes unexpectedly differ from familiar earthly norms. For example, a Jupiter-Uranus quincunx may enable a theoretical physicist to receive information from very high cosmic planes, but it will remain uncorrupted only if properly directed spiritually; otherwise, brilliant ideas will frequently come to him, promising a great discovery just around the corner, yet each time ultimately proving deceptive: the distortion of initially correct ideas stems from insufficient attention to cosmic ethics, for which ordinary earthly desire for abstract knowledge is entirely focused on a relatively low mental plane. At a low level, the person will repeatedly reach for cosmic aspects within the planet’s spheres, but these interests and activities will turn out to be episodic and superficial, although he himself will likely hold the opposite view—and at the very least, deep earthly limitations in these matters within his immediate environment, and among people, will be evident.
