The inconjunct, which is also called the quincunx, is commonly referred to as a minor aspect. However, Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker present information in support of their viewpoint that the incojunct is a "not so minor" aspect. Associated with Mercury and the sixth house, and Mars, Pluto, and the eighth house, the inconjunct acts as a lens or focusing device between the spiritual will and the desire principle. Difficult situations are often a direct product of undisciplined thinking, which is the essence of the inconjunct. Undisciplined thoughts lead to situations in which people see themselves as victims of conditions over which they have no control. Disciplined thoughts, however, lead to positive manifestation. In this book, the authors delineate the natal and transiting aspects of the inconjunct, with a chapter devoted to each planet. Also included is introductory material about the meanings of the natal and transiting inconjunct.

Does a planet in a sign have the same meaning in every horoscope? Yes and no. Although everyone with a specific planet in a specific sign shares common characteristics, each displays subtle differences depending upon what degree the planet occupies within that sign. These differences explain why, for example, one person with Mercury in Capricorn is practical and another is more creative or family-oriented, or has a strong desire to be in the spotlight. Both the three decanates (the ten-degree divisions of each sign) and the twelve duads (the two and a half-degree divisions of each sign) reveal sign characteristics specific to the individual, each of which is defined by the degree of the planet in the sign. Using decanates and duads, you can discover much more about every planet in the horoscope, as well as the signs on the anglesthe Midheaven, IC, Ascendant and Descendant. And this, in turn, will lead to new insights into relationships, career choice, communication style, finances and life purpose and goals.
