Venus – Chiron Quincunx – The Matchmaker

The influence of this minor aspect on the native’s life resembles the effect of a distorted mirror. The person possesses the talents and certain qualities of both planets involved in the connection, but does not see at all how to apply these gifts in practice. The planets seem to pull in different directions, while their native, although capable and intelligent, tries in confusion to direct these very different energies into one channel. Yet the result appears to them as if seen in a distorted mirror, and they do not understand whether they are moving in the right direction. This is why recurring situations arise in life: so that the person can finally steer onto the right path.

The Venus – Chiron quincunx is ignored by most astrologers because they disregard the power of the asteroid Chiron, although many studies have already shown that it affects the native’s life no less than Selena and Lilith. It gives the person a clever mind, musicality, and healing abilities, but most importantly, a need for a double life. In a quincunx with Venus, it has a specific influence on personal life and self-esteem.

Character, Fate, and Health with the Venus – Chiron Quincunx

This aspect creates a certain dissatisfaction with the feminine side of the soul, and this also applies to men who consider their softness, sensitivity, and compassion to be weakness. If parents also shame the child for tears, pity, and an unwillingness to take revenge on offenders, then the Venus – Chiron quincunx is suppressed from childhood and may later remain hidden.

Initially, such boys may have a desire to dance ballet, become models, heal people and animals with the energy of their hands, or draw all day long. They dream of creative professions and are interested in the magic of makeup and hairstyling. But while such interests are considered more or less natural for girls, parents of boys are usually horrified and try to make their sons more masculine by sending them to hockey instead of figure skating and to karate instead of ballet.

Of course, if Mars is strong in the horoscope, this will most likely be beneficial and will help the person cope with their emotional side. A harmony between sensitivity and physical strength can emerge, and the ability to protect oneself and others will be useful in life. It is much more difficult for those who have Mars, the Sun, and Mercury in water signs. In this case, the delicate soul of the child can simply be broken by attempts to reshape their nature according to society’s expectations.

The Venus – Chiron quincunx does not influence sexual orientation, but it does give incredible sensitivity and dissatisfaction with one’s own self, which strongly affects the person’s relationship with the world. The native wants to study esotericism, herbal healing, and astrology, but is often indifferent to their main profession and works in it only for the sake of income.

It is a great blessing for the person to realize themselves in a field that is truly interesting to them. This will remove many problems.

If the native feels rejected, they may literally become ill, and it can be difficult to diagnose the condition. Everything hurts, there is no energy, and nausea may appear for no reason. However, as soon as the person feels needed and loved by someone, everything seems to disappear as if by magic.

Venus – Chiron Quincunx, Personal Life, and Synastry

A rather complicated life situation develops when Venus in the natal chart is conjunct the Sun. In this case, the quincunx becomes common to both and creates inner contradictions that interfere with success at work and in personal life. Such a person feels that they receive too little attention. Even if they are showered with compliments and gifts, the inner sense of inferiority does not go away. For these people, nothing ever seems good enough; they feel that others have it better, although objectively they may meet interesting partners who are also fascinated by esotericism and the mysteries of the Universe. Still, the native may feel that a friend’s husband loves her truly, while their own spouse is cold and indifferent.

Most often, such emotional wavering is characteristic of women, because men usually have this aspect switched off from the beginning due to traditionally masculine upbringing, or it is overridden by strongly emphasized signs of Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo, which help protect the ego from doubt.

However, there is an important point. The small Venus – Chiron quincunx gives its owner real magic. Several times in life, it creates a Cinderella aspect, when the person can meet the prince or princess of their life: a partner with whom there will be fairy-tale harmony and mutual love. Unlike the transiting quincunx that enters the so-called Cinderella Gateway, which must not be missed and requires being “at the ball” in the right place at the right time, the Venus – Chiron quincunx is closer to the idea that fate will find the person wherever they are. The only issue is that, because of insecurity, the native may push their own happiness away.

How to Work Through the Venus – Chiron Quincunx

Most importantly, the native needs to learn to listen to their intuition and distinguish its voice from inner fears and doubts about their attractiveness. If the person manages to follow their dream in a way that brings money and popularity, the rest of the world will also accept any individuality and uniqueness that once seemed strange to others. It is important to develop Venusian talents: if Venus is in Taurus, for example, through singing; in Pisces, through dance and acting; in Sagittarius, through spectacular sports; in Aquarius, through innovative fashion design. Through Chiron, the native should bring new energies, styles, and perspectives into all of this.

The Venus – Chiron quincunx can give luck in love to those who accept themselves with all their flaws. If this acceptance is absent, the aspect intensifies inner worries and the inferiority complex. The person can help themselves by working through Venus, the Moon, and the Sun, as well as through therapy with a psychologist. It is also good to wear jewelry with turquoise and rose quartz, which harmonize the energies of both planets.  ✓
