When Chiron is forming a quincunx to Venus, this could stir up some relationship issues and insecurities. Even though it’s just a minor aspect, Chiron has a way of shining light on our core wounds.
Chiron: The Wounded Healer
Chiron represents your deepest wounds and the process of healing them. It shows where you have been hurt in the past and how you can recover and even help others with similar pains. Chiron in your chart points to life areas that require compassion and wisdom.
Venus: Love And Relationships
Venus signifies love, beauty, pleasure and relationships. It governs your desires, values, and aesthetic sensibilities. Venus placements indicate how you give and receive love and affection. They point to what makes you feel happy and fulfilled.
The Quincunx Aspect
The quincunx is a minor aspect formed when two planets are 150 degrees apart. It indicates friction, imbalance, and the need for adjustment. Planets in quincunx require effort to fully integrate their energies. There can be a lack of understanding between the life areas they represent that needs resolution.
Chiron Quincunx Venus Aspect
The Chiron quincunx Venus aspect indicates a sensitive area in your relationships. You might struggle with showing affection to others or accepting love from them. Past hurts related to love and relationships make it difficult to open up emotionally. You definitely want love and want to love others, but find yourself holding back because you’re afraid of being vulnerable.
You could end up with people who have some kind of trauma or think they need fixing. But being with people like that shows you that you need to work on yourself first before trying to fix others. And even friends or just acquaintances might often open up to you about their relationship problems. It doesn’t mean you have to listen to everyone’s issues, but it seems people are drawn to you since they feel you’ll listen to them.
Slow To Open Up
Venus-Chiron quincunx can make someone hesitant in relationships. They might be slow to really open up or keep some emotional distance. This type needs a lot of time to think things through and analyze everything, especially if Chiron is in an air sign or the ruler is Mercury (Gemini, Virgo). But if you take too long to decide if you want to be with someone because of all that thinking, the other person might lose interest and bail. And then you missed your chance at love.
Art Related To Wounds
Besides love, Venus also has power over art. There’s a good chance art can help you process any wounds from love. You might find writing, drawing, painting or making music soothing. Or even just being in an art museum, exhibition or listening to music could have a healing effect on you.
Being Submissive
With this aspect, it can feel like everything is on you to repair things, like you hold the magic key to making it all better. And while you do play a part, you can’t change who you are to try and force relationships to work. It’s a two way street. What you need to focus on is healing yourself first before worrying about fixing anyone else.
Quincunx Chiron-Venus Transit
Chiron quincunx Venus transits often correlate with questioning your own self-worth and lovability. You may doubt your attractiveness or feel like you have little to offer in relationships. These transits can reopen old wounds connected to rejection or not feeling “good enough.” It’s important to be gentle with yourself during these times and recognize that these feelings are coming from a place of old pain, not truth.
This transit can also coincide with tensions in intimate relationships or friendships. Little annoyances may feel magnified, and you have trouble seeing eye to eye. This aspect brings issues to the surface so you can address them, but it may not feel good in the process! Don’t ignore problems in your relationships, but also try not to blow little things out of proportion.
The Lessons
The ultimate lesson of Chiron quincunx Venus transits is learning self-love and self-acceptance. When you choose to be nice to yourself instead of constantly putting yourself down, and you accept who you are, relationships will get less stressful. You have to understand that your self-worth doesn’t come from what others say about you.
