The quincunx of Selena and the Ascendant shows the need to finely adjust kindness, self-expression, and personal boundaries. A person may feel an inner bright reference point, but not immediately understand how to express it without weakness, preaching, or self-denial. At one moment they help too much, and at another they close off, afraid of being used.
The aspect often appears through awkwardness around the theme of "being good." The native may doubt whether they are pure enough, correct enough, useful enough, worthy of trust. Sometimes they hide kindness because they fear looking naive. Fine adjustment is especially needed in situations where kindness is easily confused with compliance. It is important to remember that softness does not have to cancel dignity and the right to protection.
