The natal YOD, made up of two planets in sextile (60 degrees away) and both connected by a third planet, 150 degrees away, is the aspect of the avalanche, or snow crashing down the mountainside. The apex planet or finger of God symbolizes the top of the mountain, while the sextiled planets form the base.
If you have the misfortune of being caught in a personal avalanche, you cannot extracate yourself easily, from it, can you ? This aspect is different than the natal square or the opposition in that respect. All you can do is swim with the tide and prevent yourself from drowning or suffocating (in the snow). Quite often, when you crash at the bottom of the mountain, there is no one to help you get up? Therefore, if you can survive the YOD and the crash, you can survive, well, anything !
The quincunx (another term for the 150 degree aspect) is either a 6th house dilemma (health, employment, subordinacy) or an 8th house one (your creditworthiness, your capacity to heal and to be transformed, your death or demise). Yods are frequently karmic in nature, as well as fatalistic.
I have natal Moon sextile Mars quincunx Neptune. I have always found fabulous spiritual help and answers to pressing life concerns. My life work or career is often intertwined with spiritual disciplines. That's the good news. The bad news is that I have been frequently conned or lied to by the most evil of people, such as those who claim they are "spiritual" or wise, (such as church priests and even astrologers), but they are downright con-artists and or deceitful.
Therefore, the YOD can frequently bring disappointment, as well as triumph?
