MERCURY QUINCUNX SATURN
A quincunx is where two (2) signs pretty much have nothing in common and sit there wondering what to do about each other. It's like they are saying, "What now?" This is how you feel completely uncomfortable in your own family, or with people you should feel comfortable with, but yet you have nothing in common, and sometimes you have nothing to even fight over, so you might just make something up in order to tango/tangle.
It's weird and uncomfortable energy to say the least. You just cannot seem to land in the same space and it's like you are coming from different worlds that are not even opposite worlds. Further, a quincunx is an angle that sits at 150 degrees, which is between a trine at 120 degrees and an opposition at 180 degrees.
It is important to understand that Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. Mercury is intellectual, enjoys learning, teaches and is communicative. Saturn rules stability, responsibility and longevity. Saturn is also disciplined and cautious. Saturn is lasting and will stand the test of time. Saturn rules time.
Mercury quincunx Saturn, which says, "Take responsibility and grow up!" How many times have I written to you over the last 26 years that Saturn is the authority figure or father figure that just wants us to follow the rules, grow-up, be mature and take accountability and responsibility.
Saturn told you! He warned you! He has had just about enough! Saturn rules time. Saturn is 'father time'. Saturn is looking for you to make Good decisions that will have longevity and lasting results (time). He does not appreciate anyone wasting money or time. Saturn is conservative and self-managed. He is even showing you the clock that says, "Time is almost up" because he told you!
At the same time, it is wise to remember, "To whom much is given, much is expected." ~Luke 12:48
Mercury quincunx Saturn, no matter how you slice it, directs us to grow, take responsibility and accountability. This requires action and movement. Ya' gotta do something. Mercury is the co-ruler of Gemini and Virgo, which are both organizers in different ways for different reasons.
Gemini is a communicator, writer, reporter, messenger, marketer, promoter, salesperson and teacher, while Virgo works in physical health where details are important - doctor, trainer, nutritionist, herbalist, a chef (not a cook) or in another area of work where details are important - accounting, bookkeeping, engineering, etc.
Having said that, when Mercury is coupled with Saturn, the planet of 'work', timing, maturity, responsibility, accountability, career, profession, rank and authority, this aspects requires you to GROW UP and handle it, whatever it is. If you do not grow up and use your noggin' (brains) since Mercury rules Gemini and Gemini rules the brain, then it takes a toll on YOUR physical health (Virgo).
While this aspect has nice thoughts, intentions, goals and objectives, you have to GET UP and get out there and participate. On the Virgo side of this, Virgo REQUIRES participation, otherwise the energy sits in your flesh and on your bones, then takes a toll on your health. The flesh and organs get heavy and pain sets in. Stress results in pain. It's unrealized, unused or overused energy that is inappropriately channeled. And when Saturn is involved, the motto is, "I use therefore I am".
