1. Transformation Arrives In Unexpected Ways
When Pluto forms a quincunx to Chiron in synastry, transformation comes to you both, but not in straightforward ways. Change may arrive suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, usually when you’re not looking for it.
The evolution you experience together often catches you off guard. You may not even realize growth is happening until you look back and see you’re not who you used to be. Healing in this relationship may come through side doors rather than the front entrance.
2. Power Struggles Can Cause Tension
Pluto quincunx Chiron synastry can breed tension around power and control in your relationship. You may try to manipulate each other.
Passive aggression can arise when the expression of your direct needs feels risky. You may resist any attempts by your partner to change you. Resentments can build when your vulnerability isn’t met with compassion.
Particularly, Pluto can be too possessive over Chiron, while Chiron can be intolerant toward Pluto’s dark side.
One of you may work methodically toward change while the other acts sporadically. You may get out of sync in this sense.
3. You Intuitively “Get” Each Other
Despite the quincunx’s challenges, you both possess a deep intuitive understanding of each other. Your innermost wounds and healing processes make profound sense to each other, even when they don’t seem like so on the surface.
Without words, you can sit with the darkness in each other’s souls – the shame, rage, guilt, heartbreak – and offer empathy, not judgment. The same pains that isolate you can bond you together. Your intuitive connection gives hope amidst the suffering.
4. Hidden Motivations Can Cause Confusion
Unfortunately, your intuitive gifts don’t usually extend to seeing each other’s hidden motivations and inner drives under this quincunx. You may misread each other’s desires and triggers sometimes.
You don’t intend misunderstandings, but they can happen often. At times, your uncontrolled desires can even manifest as violence. And Pluto-Chiron quincunx understands that anger can hurt.
