Comparing the lists, you begin to get a picture of what anyone who is having a major Uranus transit to the Sun might be going through. However, we want to consider how all those emotional, sensitive, home-loving, traditional Cancers will be affected by Uranus' passage through its own sign—detached, cerebral, ultramodern, experimental, and even iconoclastic Aquarius, a sign that tends to throw the baby out with the bathwater. It would not occur without its stresses, as you may already imagine. For details of what this might be like, make up lists of phrases for Sun in Cancer and for Uranus in Aquarius.

To analyze an actual quincunx, consider also the two houses involved to see what areas the person is struggling to integrate, since they involve needs that are hard to reconcile in the real world. In a 5th-10th house quincunx, the pressures of career may be interfering with the wish for creative self-expression. Alternately, a stay-at-home Mom may yearn for a career, feeling blocked from it by responsibilities for her children. In a 12th-7th house quincunx, the need to maintain a close and intimate partnership can be at odds with the need for an almost monastic solitude.

By considering the houses and signs involved, you will perceive, more sharply than a book could ever tell you, what stresses a quincunx represents, whether natally, by transit, or between two individuals. This aspect can be fathomed by thoroughly considering both signs and contrasting them to see how very dissimilar they are. For extra credit on this take-home exam, dissect a quincunx in your own chart, or one you've had by transit. By now, you can do that by applying the techniques in this chapter—concept lists and psychological profiles.

2These differences come from the ways tables of houses are constructed. Look at your chart. The cusp of the 7th house is the opposite degree and sign from the cusp of the 1st. The same is true of the cusps of the 2nd and 8th, the 3rd and 9th, and so on.
