The quincunx of Neptune and Chiron shows a recurring conflict between the dream and the determination to embody it. The person may feel that they have a subtle gift: creative, healing, musical, psychological, or spiritual. At the same time they doubt whether they are talented enough, whether they have the right to go out to people, whether they will be judged, whether they will repeat an old family story of unrealized potential. Inside there is as if a diamond covered by a gray shell of fear.
The aspect may bring surprising chances: a fated teacher, a good school, a creative meeting, a sign, an accidental invitation, a person who opens the door to the dream. But the quincunx does not make the choice for the person. The opportunity may pass by if they doubt too long, feel shy, hide, or decide that they are “not ready yet.” Then they painfully remember the missed moment and again wait for the perfect occasion.
