Funny. I never find much on the lunar quincunx, either, and I actually have it (2º) with my boyfriend. Wide, but nonetheless, present. I've been reflecting upon it lately.I'd say it's best to consider that it's karmic, first of all. Suffice it to say, stuff happened / is happening / will happen 'somewhere' in another lifeline, that have set our emotional constitutions into this complex configuration.
Since adjustment is needed to achieve harmony, or, more specifically, fruition or completion (the opposition) it's important to know if it's separating or applying. In other words -- is it approaching or has it left an opposition? Then we can get a sense of whether there's been a culmination, and we're coming off of that energy, or if they're leading up to an opposition. In the former, the pressure's off, but in the latter -- it's building.
Now, the opposition CAN ultimately balance energies that seem, well, 'opposite', but are intrinsically linked. What we may not realise immediately is that there's a similar innate relationship between the signs that are frequently involved in the quincunx. There's a resonance between them, and what's involved can provide a greater understanding to why it's present in the first place.
Let's take your experience -- Leo and Pisces. The SUN and NEPTUNE. What might these two share? Well, the SUN tends not to 'share' with anyone. Heh! NEPTUNE, on the other hand, is known for its altruism, compassion, and tendency for boundlessness; its boundaries dissolve in a transcendent approach.
The emotional profiles of each are vastly different. Pisces is ultra-sensitive, quite psychic, and deeply empathetic, while Leo tends to be a rather gregarious grandstander. The latter's theatricality may be off-putting, if not downright offensive, to the former. Hm. Fire and Water. Literally. Could be quite steamy! Or just evaporate into nothing, with Leo burning up Pisces entirely. Complex, indeed.
Let's go deeper.
NEPTUNE does still co-rule Pisces along with JUPITER; a fact which traditional astrologers still adhere to with vehemence. Let's call back the days, for just a moment, when JUPITER ruled Pisces, along with Sagittarius, where it remains in modern rulership standing.
Pisces is also known to be devoted, philosophical, and changeable (likely due to its Watery Mutable nature). It can be worshipful in its dedication, even fanatical in its philosophy, and very deeply invested. It's also capable of great expansion, transcendence (aforementioned) and fantasy.
We can't forget a wonderful manifestation of JUPITER and NEPTUNE in concert: make-believe! It's through these two that we can imagine entire worlds, and recreate them for the masses. So the two tend to often be involved in actual theatre, as well as television and film. Anything that presents a story and produces it.
Hey, we're starting to find a link here. And a greater understanding for why these two might be where they are; what it might be they're ultimately here to learn from one another.
Leo is the great actor; the megastar. They love the spotlight and are indeed at their happiest and most fulfilled when allowed to take centre-stage. Curiously enough, it's when they become their most generous, gracious, loving, and truly shine. Their best qualities come to the fore.
Pisces is a well known magic-maker. A grand illusionist. It can create either beautiful fantasy or a terrible nightmare, with the power of its belief and vision. But it's just that sort of vision which Leo desires most, being an actor in search of a stage; a character without a story.
Perhaps Pisces can satisfy its own natural yearning for importance, significance, and meaning by penning the script which Leo follows; being behind the camera while Leo is out in front. Design the sets, costume, write the story, and run production. Leo is happy to follow alone, when it knows it's the star.
It may be that Pisces is here to understand the sacrifice involved in working behind the scenes, to allow another the limelight -- and, let's not forget -- Leo might've well earnt it. Of course, Leo can't neglect -- become too cocky, fall victim to its own vanity and egocentricism -- the beautiful Piscean sacrifice, the gift, of allowing Leo to be the centre of attention; the star of the show.
How the two of you create this grand play together is for the twists, turns, and ups, and downs of your relationship to reveal over time.
I hope this helps.

Because, then we'd expand the orb of squares, conjunctions, oppositions, trines up to 16 degrees, right?
