The Quintile & Bi-Quintile
About the Quintile series of aspects
The quintile and the biquintile are “minor aspects”, and are 72 and 144 degrees respectively. These aspects are arrived at by dividing the circle into 5, and are best understood by looking to the symbology behind the number five.
Quintiles and bi-quintiles point to talent, the desire to create order and to categorize, a fascination with patterns and structures, perfectionist tendencies, and the desire to build or make things. These aspects in the fifth harmonic have the characteristics of both the trine and opposition. They point to awareness of conflicts or problems and finding solutions for them.
The following are descriptions of these Quintile or Bi-Quintile aspects between the planets Sun through Pluto. These aspects can also apply for the semi-quintile, or decile, of 36 degrees, or the vigintile of 18 degrees, and will only apply for Sun-Mercury and Sun-Venus aspects because of the proximity of the Sun to Mercury and Venus.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Moon
You love creativity. You take great delight in clever and creative works and in games. Even in your later years, this trait keeps you young, and you don’t easily become bored because you find life so interesting. See Sun Quintile Moon.
Sun Decile (Semi-quintile) or Vigintile Mercury
You consider a really intelligent person to be someone who can creatively express ideas and not just simply understand the mechanics or memorize details. This preference of yours affects many decisions in your life, the people with whom you associate, and the path you choose in life.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Venus
With your knack for creative expression, you need to find outlets for your clever and ingenious aesthetic sensitivity. Whether through art, music, entertainment, or games, you have a gift of creative vision that breathes new life into situations.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Mars
You have a knack for developing creative ways to achieve your goals. Rather than meet obstacles head on, you have a talent for developing graceful maneuvers that are more effective. You can excel at a sport or competition that requires finesse and creativity as well as strength and power. See Sun Quintile Mars.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Jupiter
Professional and business environments suit you well. You enjoy the progressive, creative, enterprising, outgoing, lively life style that participating in a progressive or professional activity brings you. See Sun Quintile Jupiter.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Saturn
Very likely you notice more often than others that some highly acclaimed work is a variation of some much earlier work. You prefer art, music, and literature that require mastery and real originality. See Sun Quintile Saturn.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Uranus
You can succeed in an area that requires creativity or ingenuity. You appreciate creativity, and technical expertise probably doesn’t excite you as much as innovation. There is a light-hearted side to you that enjoys jokes, games, cleverness of all kinds, and freedom from dull repetition.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Neptune
You have a natural ability to understand and appreciate different artistic styles. You can intuitively grasp how the dreams, hopes, aspirations, and religious beliefs of people are creatively expressed through traditions, music, arts, and life style. You have a rich imagination and sensitivity to draw upon in your own creative work.
Sun Quintile or Bi-Quintile Pluto
You have a creative drive that gives you the ability to express yourself with a little extra zip and impact than most people. You are good at finding creative solutions and you enjoy a contest or competition that requires ingenuity as well as strength or will power. You react effectively when there are surprises and you meet challenges well. You enjoy competitions, either against yourself or against others.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Mercury
You may have a particularly strong aptitude for, and interest in, mythology or legends. You may also have an interest in anthropology. You find the different ways in which different cultures meet life’s challenges very interesting.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Venus
You enjoy, and seek out, relationships that bring interesting experiences into your life. Laughter, games, and learning together are likely to be more important to you than physical attraction. You are likely to take a creative approach to your home environment and your tastes are a bit unconventional or more sensitively developed than other people in your family. If you have not developed the qualities described above, then this is a side of yourself that you may have suppressed or avoided, and consequently liberating your creative, fun-loving side can fill an empty or missing aspect of your life.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Mars
For you competition is great fun. You want to win, but even more than winning, you appreciate a competitor who forces you to improve your “game” and to develop creative strategies to win. You love the competition and you love the celebration that follows if you are victorious. You are most compatible with people who find challenges enjoyable and entertaining. For you play is like work to others, and your work is like play.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Jupiter
You seek out environments that are enjoyable and interesting.

Whether rich or poor and regardless of your background, you find enjoyable activities like games, parties, exploring various ethnic styles, or simply by enjoying a creative and interesting approach to daily activities. You can also help others to lighten up and drop their worries by simply being open to what is interesting and enjoyable in their own lives.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Saturn
For your full creative powers to develop, you need periods of solitude and reflection. You are not a recluse and you can fare well without solitude but your own unique and individual creative powers are developed through your own individual reflections. Studying the works of masters rather than reading another person’s interpretation of the work of a master can also often benefit you. You have the ability to develop new methods and concepts that are useful and practical.
Moon Quintile or Bi-Quintile Uranus
You like to improvise and break traditional rules for doing things. You feel free and exhilarated by being able to express yourself spontaneously and in an uninhibited manner. You also can develop a great sense of humor and become interested in comedy or games.

Mercury Quintile or Bi-Quintile Venus
You have a creative flair to the way you do things, and you are best suited to work that requires creativity. You are not inclined to rote learning and repetition, nor are you inclined to repetitively practice or execute the same sequence over and over again. You excel by allowing yourself time to appreciate and understand the ingenuity, cleverness, and creative genius of others, which inspires you more than dedication to one goal or way of doing something.
Mercury Quintile or Bi-Quintile Mars
You will never lose your child-like love of learning, but you may find traditional teaching methods very boring and even mentally deadening. You love to learn how things work and you are very bright, but a teacher that focuses on memorization or trivial details will actually inhibit, rather than promote, your progress in learning. You are a creative thinker and if your educational training is too restrictive, then your full potential will become most evident in your adult years. You should pursue a career that utilizes your gift for creative thinking and analysis.
Mercury Quintile or Bi-Quintile Jupiter
You thoroughly enjoy being exposed to new ideas and perspectives. You seem to know a little bit about everything, and you find different philosophies, styles, and approaches very interesting. You tend to not be as opinionated as most people or to take all these different ideas as seriously as many others do.
Mercury Quintile or Bi-Quintile Saturn
You have a talent for developing your own style or unique approach to a subject. You synthesize the models, concepts, or techniques of others into a pattern or design that is unique and personally comfortable for you. If you develop expertise or facility in any area, you will experiment and play with different conceptual models until you develop a new mold that suits your personal taste.
Mercury Quintile or Bi-Quintile Uranus
You have an unusually creative mind, and you need outlets for your open-minded approach to life. You tend to be successful in an environment where products or services are being developed or ingenuity is required. You adapt well to new ideas and you are able to identify potential in a new idea while others may overlook it because it does not fit into their preconceived notions. You have an ability to enjoy clever ideas, whether they are new gadgets, or technology, a fresh approach in arts or music, or any other area, without being burdened by your personal responsibilities. While others have excuses, like not having enough available time to learn something new, you avail yourself of the opportunity to experience new things.

Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Mars
You are a creative person. You are most comfortable in an environment where people are creative or playful. A very plain and ordinary environment is boring and dull for you. You add color and spice to whatever you do, and you often prefer something that is made by an individual rather than a plain, mass produced item. In romantic relationships and marriage you are most comfortable with someone who is passionate, creative, or playful, and surprises you on occasion.
Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Jupiter
You have a keen appreciation for good art and you may have a strong interest in cultural activities or entertainment. You appreciate and support creativity and the arts. Sports, games, and other entertainments can be very happy affairs, but you may avoid sports when the emphasis is on competition and discipline rather than creativity and amusement.
Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Saturn
Everyone has their favorite songs, colors, artists, and styles, but for you they are particularly strong and important. Once the essence and power of a particular style, design, concept, image, or archetype captures your attention, you can become transfixed or obsessed with it. You have a keen appreciation and sensitivity for how different designs or concepts have their own unique power. You may, for example, have a keen appreciation of different artistic and musical styles.
Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Uranus
Humor, music, entertainment, games or sports, and creativity of all kinds are very important for you. You can manage reasonably well in a stable, predictable routine, but you really come alive and are in your element when you can periodically play, laugh, or be a bit zany. Children can bring out the best in you by evoking your playful, creative side. Exploring many kinds of music, dance, or theater may be an interest of yours.
Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Neptune
You have a strong artistic inclination. You have a vivid imagination and the ability to visualize things in different ways. You are sensitive and may find it difficult to live among coarse, dull, or insensitive people.

You appreciate art that is done with passion and feeling. You probably have friends and colleagues who have different socio-economic backgrounds because superficial differences are not important to you.

You have a need to get a bit wild once in a while. You need an element of surprise and adventure, whether that be as simple as a trip to go skiing in the mountains or to listen to music with unusual rhythms or a free-spirited quality. If your life has a very stable, repetitive quality and routine, you need periodic breaks from this to loosen up and let yourself be spontaneous and free. You feel completely alive and in your element when there is some adventure, experimentation, play, surprise, or creativity in your life.
Mars Quintile or Bi-Quintile Neptune
