QUINCUNX
A quincunx (also called an inconjunct) is a minor aspect of 150 degrees. The effect of
a a quincunx is comparatively weak. With the exception of double quincunx (yod)
configurations, quincunxes received little attention until relatively recently. Their
influence was usually regarded as being mildly favorable, like a semisextile, but more
recent interpreters regard them as a source of stress, requiring change and adjustment
in the areas of the chart that they affect.
QUINDECILE
A quindecile is a minor aspect of 24° created when a circle is divided into 15 equal
parts. As a third part of a quintile, a quindecile is a very weak but favorable influence
that is studied in the branch of astrology referred to as harmonics. It is given a very
narrow orb of influence of 1° or less.
QUINTILE
A quintile is a minor aspect of 72° created by subdividing a circle into five parts. The
great astronomer Johannes Kepler devised quintiles and biquintiles (144°) for his astrological
work. Quintiles refer to the aptitudes or talents related to the planets involved
in the aspect. It is given an orb of influence of 1° to 3°, depending on the astrologer.
