1. Provoking Each Other’s Desires
With Mars-Lilith quincunx in synastry, Lilith provokes Mars’ raw primal desires while Mars awakens Lilith’s long-suppressed yearnings. Together, you stir up each other’s deepest carnal passions. Fantasies you’ve never shared before may come tumbling out.
You feel empowered to assert your bedroom needs more directly and forcefully with each other. Inhibitions may fade away and you get in touch with your core erotic desires.
However, this sexual passion can also breed jealousy and obsession. The untamed physical energies activated can be difficult to manage. Possessiveness may emerge. But the sheer magnetism is undeniable.
2. Struggles Over Control
Mars quincunx Lilith synastry can amplify controlling tendencies, where one partner seeks to overpower the other. Attempts to dominate often arise from your underlying insecurities.
The partner embodying Mars may use forceful or aggressive means to gain the upper hand. Criticism, anger, and even emotional abuse may arise in some cases. They may feel threatened by the other’s independence or self-sufficiency.
On the other hand, the Lilith partner may use silent treatment to undermine the other’s dominance. Passive aggression or even outright rebellion seems to allow them to reclaim some sense of autonomy and control.
But true closeness requires vulnerability, honesty, and equality. The quincunx often breeds an ongoing battle for dominance that blocks that kind of intimacy. Power-sharing is important in this bond.
3. Passion Can Feel Restricted
Under this quincunx, passions may never feel fully unleashed. There can be a chronic feeling of limitation and unsatisfied longings. You want each other deeply yet feel constrained.
You may attract each other quickly yet it soon stalls out. The Lilith partner, in particular, can feel caged in by the other’s authority and government. To embrace complete intimacy means sacrificing their freedom and selfhood.
The Mars partner may feel rejected, played, or not desired enough. Their intimate advances may meet resistance. Over time, this can dull the passion and erode the confidence.
Mars quincunx Lilith synastry can become that of Tantalus – tempted by something seemingly within reach yet ultimately denied.
