"Noviles
Noviles are derived from dividing 360° by 9 = 40 degrees. Multiples of this give: bi-novile = 80°; tri-novile = 120°; quad-novile = 160°; quin-novile = 200°; sen-novile = 240°; sept-novile = 280° and oct-novile = 320°. This makes up a nine point star.The ‘novile’ degrees of the zodiac taken from 0 Aries are: 10 Taurus; 20 Gemini; 0 Leo; 10 Virgo; 20 Libra; 0 Sagittarius; 10 Capricorn; 20 Aquarius. People with these degrees prominent carry the novile energy regardless of whether they have a novile pattern or not.
Noviles always describe an initiation and in a natal chart describes the initiations to be undertaken this lifetime. The level of intensity is described by the planets and signs involved in the novile aspect or pattern. E.g. if a person has Moon novile Pluto, then the level of emotional intensity will be very high.
If novile aspects are connected in a novile pattern it suggests that this lifetime is part of a series of initiations that to some degree or another have been successful. If the novile pattern involves a trine this suggests that the trine (indication of a successful initiation) enables the person to succeed with the other planets involved in the pattern.
Initiations that have been successful tend to give very pleasant results, so the novile series of aspects have developed a rather nice reputation. However, I think that the quad-novile (160°) can be an indication of a very testing initiation connected to the planets and houses involved. This is particularly the case if there is a quad-novile arrow of two planets in a 40° aspect and both making a quad-novile aspect to a third planet. In this case the point of the arrow is the crucial planet and will require considerable awareness and skill."

I actually have that.
my Saturn is novile my DESC 0°04
Satrn is quadranovile my Sun 1°01
DESC is quadranovile my Sun 1°05
The pattern is a tad wide, as I like to keep the orb at 1 degree, but I found this interesting nevertheless.
Sun is conjunct MErcury under one degree in my chart, but the orbs of Mercury for that arrow are really too wide.
Mercury quadranovile Saturn: 1°55
Mercury quadranovile DESC: 1°59
It coincides with the following midpoint picture:
Sun= (opp.) Saturn/DESC 1°03
Actually my PART OF KARMA is conjunct the Saturn/DESC-mp by one degree in Gemini in 7th house; and for asteroid lovers, it is exactly conjunct NESSUS.
Also the asteroid KARMA Is in Gemini in 7th house, though not connected to that picture, but trine my natal Moon exactly.
And my SN is in Gemini in 7th house conjunct my DESC, plus my Draconic Moon is conjunct my DESC exactly and conjunct my SN.
Now let`s think in what area of life I might have karmic issues to solve.
If you want a quick overview if there are patterns of septiles, quintiles or noviles in your chart, you can make a 7th, 5th, 9th harmonic chart. If there are planets in conjunction in this chart (and ONLY in conjunction) then you have such a pattern, though you cannot really tell if it made by a natal conjunction, septile, biseptile, or triseptile, as they all appear as conjunction in this chart.
The orb for a conjunction in these chart is following:
5th harmonic: 5 degrees
7th harmonic: 7 degres
9th harmonic: 9 degrees
If there is a 5 degree conjunction in the 5th harmonic chart, it will appear in the natal as a one degree quintile, biquintle or conjunction.
So the orb I gave always transfers back to a one degree orb for the minor aspect in the natal chart.
If you want to use bigger orbs than this, you have to extend the orb for harmonics, too.
But personally I wouldn´t recommend this.
It also seems that septile patterns indicate a more introverted shy behaviour, while quintile patterns are more prone to extravertism. (of course it depends on the planets making that pattern; and I think it might be needed to have a pattern for this, not a single aspect; pattern for me always consists of at least three planets in aspect to each other; and for this thread here it means of the SAME harmonic series plus conjunction; I have a 9th harmonic pattern of Juno, Saturn and DESC. Desc is novile Saturn; Saturn is trine Juno; Juno is binovile DESC; there is no corresponding midpointpicture though).
