Quin-tile
/ˈkwɪntaɪl/
The quintile is an astrological aspect formed when two planets or points are separated by an arc of seventy-two degrees.
This aspect is created by dividing the zodiacal circle into five equal parts and is associated with creative intelligence and unique talents. Unlike major aspects that deal with overt action or tension, the quintile reveals a person's ability to see patterns and apply their imagination in specialized ways. It often highlights where an individual possesses a distinct style of problem solving or a natural aptitude for mental or artistic crafts. In a birth chart, this relationship indicates a subtle but powerful flow of energy that encourages the expression of personal genius.
