zadel >Quincunx
A quincunx is present in a chart when two planets are 150 degrees from each other. Since this is one of the minor Aspects (there are nearly ten of them), an orb of influence of only one to three degrees is considered acceptable. This Aspect is also referred to as the inconjunct.
The planets involved in a quincunx do not share the same quality or element, as is the case with squares and trines. Rather, these are two planets with very little in common, and their celestial meeting can be uneasy as a result.
This Aspect, above all, demands that adjustments be made. Things will appear muted or unclear and one must resolve to gain some focus on the matters at hand. A reorganization of priorities, as well as a change in the way things are done, is wanting. A change in attitude, outlook and perspective can also be indicated. The individual must take a further cue from the planets and Houses involved in this Aspect to understand its energy fully.
Quincunxes often influence health and financial matters. It is also believed that this Aspect has karmic lessons to teach us. Along those lines, an extension of the quincunx is the Yod, also referred to as the 'Finger of God.' In this little-known configuration, considered the most fated in Astrology, two planets which are sextiling (a sixty-degree Aspect) each other are in communion with a third planet which rests opposite the midpoint of the sextile. These three planets would then form the letter 'Y' in the heavens (draw it for yourself and you'll see). The third planet, effectively at the bottom of the 'Y' figure, is the trigger point of the Yod. This very fated configuration adds great emphasis to the quincunx and speaks to significant lessons and issues to be overcome. Further, whenever a planet is transiting through the midpoint of the sextile segment of the Yod, the entire configuration is essentially on red alert. The burden is upon us to listen closely at this time, and to learn.

Saturn quincunx Pluto
The inconjunct from Saturn to Pluto indicates that you seriously try to do what you can to fulfill your obligations. You are impressed with your personal responsibility to help change unacceptable social conditions. Your greatest problem is that you take on more duties than you can handle and overtax yourself physically. You are afraid of being singled out as one who has avoided responding to the general public's needs. You might even remind others when they are unwilling to make their contribution, thus creating a combined effort, which is essential to success.
Because you fear that your personal efforts are inadequate, you sometimes become depressed about the results you achieve. You consider your co-workers better qualified and certain to move up the ladder first. You therefore tend to discount yourself as a valid candidate for promotions. Your preoccupation with endless details and with perfection is a strong factor in your superior's decision. You labor over trifles, complain about unfair competition, and generally overestimate what others expect of you. Learn to get a larger perspective of your professional function and focus on providing that service. If you can stop contesting what others are doing, you will become more effective in getting results.
You may feel that people tend to use you for their own ends or that they expect you to cater to their incompetence. It is possible that in your personal relationships. others keep trying to dominate you. Your judgement needs refining, but you must stand firm when others attempt to force their attitudes and opinions on you. Your values are as valid as theirs, and you must communicate that fact with determination. You can only be used if you let yourself be used.
Be wary of contracts unless they specifically state your position and responsibility. Avoid the gray area of 'we have an understaning'. Live up to the contract, but volunteer nothing additional, or it could prove costly in the long run.

Saturn trine Ascendant
Saturn trine the Ascendant means that you feel a great responsibility for developing your creative talents to derive the greatest benefit from them. You understand that success does not always come easily amd that only hard work will produce the results you want. Although your parents may not have been able to give you any financial advantages. you appreciate them for teaching you to rely on yourself. Not a trailblazer, you depend on traditional means of expression for your ideas. You prefer to assert yourself in fields that hold a reasonable promise of security, because you don't like to gamble or take unnecessary chances.
Your priorities are directed to achieving material success and distinction. You measure people by the depth of their conversation, whether they are intellectual or superficial. You like to compare your net worth with that of your contemporaries. You want to be thought of as a person who came up the hard way and succeeded in spite of the odds.
You are loyal to those you care for. Although you may not have a wide circle of friends, you keep the friends you have. You are not especially preoccupied with physical pleasures, primarily because you would rather go without, if you can't have exactly what you want. Actually, you are not easily 'turned on' by just anybody. Before you allow yourself to indulge in a romantic escapade, you try to learn what credentials a person has. Your indifference to exclusively physical relationships tends to keep people at a distance. Because you don't really like yourself enough, you think you deserve no more than the minimal pleasures you now have.
Since you are such an isolationist, you deprive yourself of the companionship of people who really appreciate you. you have to show that you are warmer than you appear, and learn to lower the barriers that keep people from warming up to you. Others respect you for your stoicism, but they may also criticize you for your inability to relate.
