In astrology, a quintile is a minor aspect formed when two planets or other chart factors are approximately 72 degrees apart. It is commonly associated with creativity, specialized ability, originality, pattern recognition, and distinctive ways of combining different qualities. A quintile may point to capacities that become more noticeable through focused expression or development. Its meaning depends on the planets or points involved, their signs and houses, the size of the orb, and how the aspect fits within the larger chart pattern.
