If they are separate quintiles or bi-quintiles they are considered to have less strength than sextiles, and I think less than quincunxes too.

No expert, but I disagree. The label of "minor aspect" has nothing to do with how deeply it is felt. The label only refers to the orb allowance, based on what I've heard from many good astrologers. Based on what I've read, bi/quintiles are between a square and a trine in their effects.

Sextiles, and even trines, are by their very nature some of the weakest and most unconsciously felt aspects.

As for MMarie liking Cap moons, the orb for a minor aspect shouldn't exceed 1.5, preferably 1 degree. The reason you like Cap moons is probably because your 7th lord falls in Capricorn, as does your 8th.

I have Saturn in Capricorn.

It is common to have a double whammy for me, so meeting someone with Saturn in Leo might be a potential strong bond IMO.

I have several quintile and septile derivatives and the best I can sense is they allow me to be super-creative and/or wise (septiles).

Yes, that's more like it.

Bismarck2,

I didn't comment on how deeply they are felt. That is subjective, but I would know something about that since my birth chart has a so-called golden yod in it. And no, it is not as important a configuration as a grand trine, yod, grand cross, or any other configuration constructed with multiple aspects that are of multiples of 30°. A bi-quintile is a minor aspect because it is a multiple of the Quintile that is the 5th harmonic of 72°. By contrast, the yod is constructed of a sextile (a major aspect of 30-degree multiples) and two quincunxes (same). Additionally, narrowed orbs are precisely part of what make such aspects minor. They do not have the range in which they can be triggered by transiting planets, for example. They don't get the extended activation of major aspects that are nowhere near other aspects (as the 144° is to the 150°).

MMarie,

I'm still studying the quintile series as I am not satisfied with the renderings given by other astrologers. (Typically they derive from assertions by the British astrologer John Addey who cited use/abuse of power.) When I question them about the interpretive basis of these aspects they either of wilt and mumble about they saw/read something somewhere or point to Addey's book Harmonics in Astrology. It's probably a very good book, but it does not deal in these aspects directly, but with the base harmonic (5th = 72°) in an entirely roundabout way through separate harmonics charts. Not satisfactory for me. So I have set up some examples using celebrity charts containing quintiles and bi-quintiles for whom I can get substantial biographies. This is a long-term project and I'm in no hurry.

Because your Saturn-Rx progresses away from exact Bq to natal Sun-Moon your chart, for example, would likely not qualify for how I'm setting up my study, which is with charts that show at least one of the aspects culminating by progression. I'll need at least several such charts to frame up a study. I loathe including Hitler's chart in the study, although it was cited by Addey and did have a Bq culminate by progression. I'd rather have other precisely timed charts, so if you happen upon any, please pass them along.

As to interpreting them ...

There is definitely creativity and talent in this harmonic, but is more an underlying sense of influence or finesse that probably can be applied in varying ways in various media/modes.

Having these aspects or configurations in our charts makes them important to us, but a strong desire to know what they mean does not, of course, equate to strong importance in the birth chart overall. I'd say your Sun-Moon conjunction is obviously the most important end of the configuration and it is powerful there in Leo; their bi-quintile to Saturn suggests a feel for organizing/pushing towards results, presence/timing for effectiveness, etc.
