Quintile (astrology)
In astrology, a quintile is an angle of 72 ° between two celestial bodies projected onto the ecliptic . Such angular relationships in the horoscope are called aspects .
Derived Aspects
The aspect with the double angle of 144 ° is called biquintile .
interpretation
There are different views in the literature about the interpretation of this constellation, some of which are derived from the mystery of numbers . As a court mathematician in Prague, Johannes Kepler published a treatise on the quintile in 1603, but it has been lost. The quintile is often interpreted as the creative connection between the two planets. According to Thomas Ring , it is considered a synthetic aspect , i.e. H. the planets work together harmoniously.
The quintile is not considered to be the main aspect , so that its interpretation is often omitted: It is relatively difficult to recognize because it does not arise from the division into twelve. In large orbs , the biquintile merges with the quincunx (150 °), the quintile is close to the bilin (75 °) in this regard.
