minor aspects just refer to aspects that Ptolemy didn't use. the aspects that Ptolemy used are known as the Ptolemaic aspects. They are also known as the major aspects.

Thank you for this, Raymond! I had no idea. So, really, "minor" doesn't necc. mean irrelevent or lesser in this context.

A quintile is a 72 degree aspect. It's based on '5.' If you divide 360 by 5 you get 72. '5' resonates with Mercury more than any planet; it's creative and magical. Any time you have a quintile, those two planets combine to form some very powerful magic and gifts. They are more interesting and unique than trines and sextiles, though also somewhat more subtle. If you want to find someone's gifts in a chart, don't forget the quintiles. They are very special!

Let's hear it for quintiles!

QUINTILE and BI-QUINTILE (72 & 144 degrees)
This is a highly creative aspect, even in a natal chart. Persuasiveness is a part of its influence. The Bi-Quintile is considered much more persuasive than the 72° Quintile. Its influence on an event is to bring a creative solution to a problem, a logical resolution rather than a Septile-Type solution. In problems, your personal ingenuity, creativity and influence can manipulate your way out. A student found that a negotiating deal was resolved when the Progressed Moon was Quintile Mercury. Minor aspects manifest near exactness.

In the natal chart, the planets involved in the Quintile aspect often describe personal talents and qualities for which we become known – Hitler had a Mars-Pluto Quintile; Marilyn Monroe had a Venus-Neptune Quintile.

It is said that Quintile Dominant personalities have a strong sense of mission but they must first define what they want in order to get it!

Faith, hope and love.
That's what I'm trying to say in my songs.
I hope someday our songs find their way to music listeners.

Keep on creating beautiful things!
That's what this old world needs.

Venus quintile Jupiter
You have a great talent for finding a life path that reflects and expresses your personal values. You are big hearted, and may often be in the role of teacher or mentor to developing artists. You aren't afraid to risk, and in fact may have phenomenal luck in gambling. Your artistic expressions are expansive and inclusive, and your style is original, dramatic and very exciting.

Venus Quintile or Bi-Quintile Jupiter
You have a keen appreciation for good art and you may have a strong interest in cultural activities or entertainment. You appreciate and support creativity and the arts. Sports, games, and other entertainments can be very happy affairs, but you may avoid sports when the emphasis is on competition and discipline rather than creativity and amusement.

Ohhh, I thought a bi-quintile was like a milder, less significant quintile...interesting.

just found this

and this one will show planets quintile to planets, major asteroids and sun/moon quintiles to asc/mc

Venus quintile Moon
Uranus quintile Mars
Neptune quintile Part of Fortune
Saturn quintile Vertex
Chiron quintile MC
Chiron quintile Valentine
Chiron biquintile North Node
MC biquintile North Node
MC biquintile Valentine
Ascendant biquintile Ceres
Ascendant biquintile Psyche

What orb is used for these two aspects- less than one? Each of these are showing 0 degrees.

quintile and biquintile are both 5th harmonic aspects, and so biquintile wouldn't be milder,less significant than a quintile

decile (36 degrees) aka semiquintile is the milder,less significant version of the quintile...mainly half of the strength of a quintile. It is a 10th harmonic aspect.

tredecile (108 degrees) aka sesquiquintile is also a 10th harmonic aspect.

In mythology, Eris ignited discord that led to the Trojan War.

It depends

Robert Hand recommended 1 1/2 degree orb for quintile,biquintile in his book,HOROSCOPE SYMBOLS. That's the orb that I prefer.

Some astrologers use up to 3 degree orb.

I'd use no more than 1 degree orb for minor planets like asteroids,centaurs,and kuiper belt objects because there are so many. There are bound to be quintiles,biquintiles if you include the minor planets...especially if you count them involving 2 minor planets like Eros biquintile Chiron. I'd use no more than half a degree orb for those types of aspects.
