To check it by degree: Mars at 10° Aries makes the quincunx with Venus anywhere from 7° to 13° of Virgo or Scorpio — the 150° angle give or take 3°. The grid goes by sign, but the quincunx also forms across a sign line: Mars at 1° Aries and Venus at 29° Leo are 148° apart, a trine by sign.

Between two people

What does Mars quincunx Venus mean in synastry?

Desire and affection that never quite line up. One person's way of pursuing lands awkwardly on what the other finds appealing — too direct, too soon, or aimed at the wrong thing — and the response comes back slightly off as well. It rarely produces big fights; it produces small, repeated misses. Couples with this do best when they say plainly what each of them actually enjoys rather than guessing.

The usual mistake

Where does Mars quincunx Venus usually go wrong?

Small misses in what each enjoys are guessed at, never asked about. In the end both decide the other simply does not get it.

Over time

How Mars quincunx Venus plays out over time

  1. Early on. Desire and affection never quite line up: the approach is too direct or too hesitant.
  2. Under pressure. Small misses in what each enjoys pile up.
  3. Years in. It improves when the pair ask instead of guessing what pleases the other.

Mars and Venus at other angles

At any angle: The classic attraction pairing: what one person pursues and what the other finds appealing. It says a lot about chemistry and far less about whether two people can live together, which is why it is so often over-read.
