Pluto takes about 20 years to cross one sign. Everyone born inside that window has it in the same place, so this aspect is largely a description of the age gap between two people rather than of the relationship.
Put concretely: if you and your partner were born a decade or more apart, this aspect was decided by the calendar before either of you existed. Why 40.1% of searched aspects work this way →
What these two planets are doing
Pluto
Power, exposure and what will not stay hidden.At 150° the question this pairing raises is whether the relationship pulls forward or back, set against whether intensity rebuilds the pair or consumes it. A quincunx lets them reinforce each other, which is comfortable and, for the same reason, easy to stop noticing.
Pluto moves 13.3 times slower than node, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.

Even a badly remembered birth time leaves this one standing.
