Navigating Astrology's Blind Spots: Insights into Aversion

Published on: 17th April, 2026

The discourse on the aversion aspect in astrology unveils intricate dimensions of astrological interpretation, particularly focusing on the quincunx aspect as delineated in Hellenistic astrology. This aspect is profoundly characterized as an aversion, signifying a blind spot within the astrological chart. The speakers engage in a meticulous examination of how these blind spots manifest in relation to the ascendant or first house, identifying specific houses that embody this energy—namely the twelfth, second, sixth, and eighth houses. The discussion traverses the implications of these placements, elucidating how individuals may navigate the inherent challenges posed by these aversions. They emphasize the necessity of recognizing these blind spots in order to foster personal growth and understanding, thereby enriching one’s astrological journey. Furthermore, the speakers delve into the visual representation of aspects within charts, noting the differentiation between squares and oppositions—colored red—and trines and sextiles—colored blue. The quincunx, representing aversion, is notably distinguished by its green hue, thereby facilitating the astrologer's comprehension of the complexities inherent in the chart's fabric.

Takeaways:

  • In Hellenistic astrology, the quincunx aspect is recognized as an aversion, which signifies a blind spot.
  • The blind spots associated with the first house in astrology are represented by the houses 12, 2, 6, and 8.
  • When analyzing astrological charts, the squares and oppositions are denoted in red, while trines and sextiles are depicted in blue.
  • The quincunx aspect, representing aversion, is visually represented in green on astrological charts.
  • Understanding whether aspects are applying or separating is crucial for interpreting astrological energy dynamics.
  • The intensity of an astrological aspect can be determined by evaluating whether it is applying or separating over time.

Speaker A:

But in Hellenistic astrology they don't have the minor aspects.

Speaker A:

The, the, but the quincunx aspect in Hellenistic astrology is known as a version, which would be a blind spot.

Speaker B:

Oh, I like that.

Speaker B:

Yes, I like how you put that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So it.

Speaker A:

From the ascendant, from the first house.

Speaker A:

The, the blind spots from the first house would be.

Speaker A:

Be 12, 2, 6 and 8.

Speaker B:

Yeah, 12, 2, 6 and 8.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

And the last.

Speaker A:

So we just kind of broke down the energy of.

Speaker A:

When you look at that chart and what those red and blue lines mean, the, the, the square.

Speaker A:

And what do they call that little graph grid thing?

Speaker B:

Well, well, so wait, go ahead.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

That middle quadrant that shows all the aspects.

Speaker B:

I don't really know.

Speaker B:

I don't call it anything.

Speaker A:

Do they have an official name for that?

Speaker B:

You know, I think it, I think it does, but I actually don't know it.

Speaker B:

But I was going to say that the, the squares in oppositions will always look red on charts and the trines and the sextiles will always look blue and the quincunx.

Speaker B:

Quincunxes will look green.

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker A:

Yes, yes.

Speaker A:

And the last thing I want to add about aspects, when you look at them like in that little grid, you may see A or S. What does the A and the S mean?

Speaker A:

Anybody?

Speaker B:

Applying versus separating.

Speaker A:

Yes, applying versus separating.

Speaker A:

What does that mean?

Speaker B:

They're getting closer together or they're getting further away from each other.

Speaker A:

Yes, they, they're getting closer.

Speaker A:

Either moving closer to an exact hit or the exact hit already happened and the aspect is moving away from each other.

Speaker A:

Separating, separating.

Speaker A:

So it would be the energy of moving toward or moving apart.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

So that's another thing about the aspects.

Speaker A:

So, yeah,.

Speaker B:

I think that about wraps it up.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Oh, oh, and, and, and that the.

Speaker A:

Or don't forget the orbs.

Speaker A:

And, and applying or separating gives the intensity of that aspect.

Speaker A:

Now that wraps it up.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
