Q. Is this what is referred to as quinqux? The letter "Q" which appears on the aspect grid on astro.com?

If it is...what exactly does quinqux signify?

The inconjunct or quincunx (the terms are generally used interchangeably) aspect in astrology is formed between planets that are roughly 150 degrees apart. If we use an orb of 2 degrees, the planets or points in question can be anywhere from 148 degrees to 152 degrees apart.

The planets and points involved in a quincunx don't understand each other. Unless it's an out-of-sign quincunx, the signs not only are of a different element, they are also of a different modality. For example, take Leo-Pisces. Leo is Fixed Fire, while Pisces is Mutable Water. It's difficult to see common ground between the signs.

Some keywords that describe quincunxes are: redirecting, challenging, requiring adjustments, diverting.

Definition: Five objects arranged so that four are at the corners of a square or rectangle and one is at the center; the pattern of "five" on a 6-sided die.

Usage: "Aurora blamed her divorce from George on a quincunx in their horoscopes." Yes, the quincunx is important in astrology, where it means two planets are 150 degrees from each other and have very little in common. In Christianity, the quincunx means the four wounds in Jesus' hands and feet, plus the spear through the side. To the ancient Greeks, the quincunx signified divine perfection—the four elements of fire, water, earth and air, plus the fifth, mystery element, the quintessence.

Q stands for Quintile, Quincunx looks like the bottom half of a sextile, without the centre line, so it looks like a table instead.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_aspect

the aspects plus how they look like are listed here.

What I've read about Quintiles are that they signify talent and creative, and maybe even a touch of obsession.
