Moon quincunx Venus can be ultra sweet and sickly, but the quincunx makes it’s more like sweet and sour. Moon quincunx Venus is greedy for affection and needs tangible expressions of love, but they go about this in an indirect way so that the person they are attempting to extricate this from does not even realize it. Moon/Venus has real difficulty with asking for what it needs in the normal fashion. These people have a kooky charm and usually attractive, but in a striking, eccentric way. Moon quincunx Venus wants everyone to be happy, loving and congenial, but they can be obsessive in their pursuit of fairness and perfection. Because of their perfectionist quirk, these subjects really don’t take criticism well, are extremely sensitive and get far too upset too easily, which draws them into very un-peaceful fights. So this combination can be very paradoxical, for example the “Champagne Socialist” with very refined and expensive tastes, travelling in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce while declaring they want a fair society where we are all equal.
Moon quincunx Venus looks like witchcraft to me. The unusual combination seems to create harmony where it just shouldn’t do. Never more so when this jazzy quincunx is used to fuse together two cherry pie planets…or are they? If you look at the list below you see an exotic mix of mystics, musicians, leaders, warrior queens and even some with the same surnames. Unusual…the quincunx is eerie like that. Somehow all the celebrities seem related, again, even though they shouldn’t be! Generally both the Moon and Venus are seen as soft, feminine, harmonious planets. But the Moon has its devouring mother side and Venus was also the Goddess of war in Babylonian times. Moon/Venus can be sickly sweet, but the quincunx spices it up so that it ferments into a resinous potion. We know what happens when sugar turns to alcohol… This then can be a heady concoction.

John Lennon (20’) is a great example of Moon quincunx Venus displaying the ingenious artistic and musical talent that this aspect can give and also his very Venusian campaigning for peace. John is also an example of the paradoxes too “Imagine no possessions”. I’m a big fan of John, but he was hardly what you would call spartan….I’m thinking of his psychadelic Rolls Royce. He adored his musical and glamorous mother Julia, but she always put her lovers before him. John desperate for her attention, set upon becoming the perfect rock-star for her, just like the ones she idolized. Julia did the Moon/Venus thing and totally spoilt John in an effort to make up for abandoning him when he was just 5. Julia was not bothered John was flunking school to come round and party, drink and play banjo at her house. His strict, but totally devoted Aunt Mimi (who practically adopted John), represented the Moon in his life while Julia was very obviously Venus. His unusual Moon quincunx Venus upbringing coloured his attitudes to women and gender roles for the rest of his life. His relationship with Yoko was very different to his first marriage where he played the traditional dominant male role. With Yoko he was content for her to wear the pants and take care of business. When John’s second son Sean was born, he hung up his guitar, baked bread and played the househusband.
The quincunx causes creative dissonance, it’s especially effective I think here with Venus’s slant towards harmony and the Moons amazing, intuitive imagination. This aspect can feel it’s way through the most warped and spiky footpaths and come out in one piece. This aspect can veer towards the kinky in relationships due to the mother figure being the chief disciplinary parent in childhood. Women therefore can be held in awe, worshiped and hated at the same time. Aleister Crowley is another example of the paradoxical message given out by this aspect. He was bi-sexual, married and even had a daughter named Lilith. There are many accounts of him being a misogynist, but he is quoted as saying “We of Thelema say that ‘Every man and every woman is a star.’ We do not fool and flatter women, we do not despise and abuse them. To us, a woman is herself, absolute, original, independent, free, self-justified, exactly as a man is.” [1]
