Venus Quincunx Jupiter

(Transit. Venus → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Venus quincunx: A good artist strives to convey divine love to people, a bad one — to himself. This aspect produces a significantly more painful sense than the semi-sextile — the difference between social and generally earthly ethics and aesthetics versus cosmic ones, while both are seemingly independently represented in the person’s subconscious, and their karmic task will be to reconcile them. To achieve this, the individual must learn to renounce the planet’s sphere from a cosmic perspective, and only then judge earthly matters. At a low level, the person lacks the strength and wisdom for this, and their ethics and aesthetics display a peculiar mixture of earthly and cosmic elements, which they themselves cannot sort out, sometimes causing partial confusion. At a medium level, strong inner conflicts are possible, since earthly obstacles turn out to be bypassed only with the help of cosmic ski poles, which may seem to the person insufficiently correct or even impossible from the standpoint of social ethics, whose boundaries already appear clearly restrictive, yet renouncing it remains difficult and the alternative still diffuse. For example, the Venus-Mars quincunx will produce specific social problems related to aggression — external, internal, and hidden — and the person will encounter situations where, according to earthly ethics, one must resist evil with force, but not the force they possess, rather one of much higher vibrational level, which they will need to develop throughout life. Jupiter quincunx: The existence of God awakens in me an inferiority complex. 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 occasionally differ unexpectedly from familiar earthly ethics. For example, the 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 major discovery just around the corner, yet constantly proving deceptive in the end: the initial distortion of an otherwise correct idea stems from insufficient attention to cosmic ethics, for which the ordinary earthly desire for abstract knowledge is entirely concentrated on a relatively low mental plane. At a low level, the person will repeatedly grasp at cosmic aspects within the planet’s spheres, but these interests and activities will turn out to be episodic and superficial, although they themselves will likely hold the opposite view, and at the very least, a deep earthly limitation in these matters will be evident both in their immediate environment and among people in general.
