Quincunx Mercury – Jupiter

(Transit. Mercury → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Quincunx of Mercury: Every word carries its true meaning. This aspect gives a cosmic direction to thoughts in the spheres of the planet, but this does not mean only an interest in science fiction, but also certain difficulties in earthly ways of comprehension, which can cause a person no small amount of minor troubles, since the usual, socially accepted way of thinking will seem to them boring, insufficient, and unsatisfactory. Their own thoughts and reflections may seem to the person objective and witty, sometimes even an unconditional universal truth, but in reality, they will most often turn out to be an eclectic mix of weak earthly and unassimilated cosmic intellect, from which it will be quite difficult to extract rational or healthy mystical grains. In moments of strong activation of the quincunx, a person will feel an inhuman flow of their thoughts and may be frightened by them or, conversely, welcome them, depending on the major aspects of the quincunx and the horoscope as a whole, but getting used to the cosmic nature of their thoughts and learning to correlate them constructively with earthly circumstances will be difficult for the person. In case of defeat of Mercury (and the chart in general) for this reason, even a split personality, delusions of cosmic grandeur or persecution, etc., are possible. Working through this requires, first, abandoning anthropocentric and geocentric views on the spheres of the planet and developing a cosmic ethics within them, and second, carefully aligning cosmic-accented thinking with earthly problems, which will also not be an easy task, but will ultimately yield extraordinary creative abilities and a cosmic orientation.

Quincunx of Jupiter: The existence of God awakens a sense of inferiority in me. This aspect promises in the spheres of the planet an unusual expansion of opportunities associated with connecting to a cosmic egregore, if a person can reach the appropriate level of vibrations and master its ethics, which may sometimes differ unexpectedly from the usual earthly one. For example, the Jupiter–Uranus quincunx can give a theoretical physicist the ability to read information from very high cosmic planes, but it will only remain uncorrupted if there is proper spiritual orientation; if it is absent, brilliant ideas will often come to them, promising a great discovery literally around the corner, but each time deceiving: the distortion of an initially correct idea is connected with insufficient attention to cosmic ethics, for which the ordinary earthly desire for abstract knowledge is reduced entirely to a rather low mental plane. At a low level, a person in the spheres of the planet will repeatedly grab onto cosmic aspects, but their interests and activities will turn out to be episodic and superficial, although they themselves will likely hold the opposite point of view, and at the very least, the deep earthly limitations of their immediate environment, and indeed humanity, will be evident.
