What the quintile means

An aspect is the angle between two planets — how they talk to each other. At 72°, the quintile is the aspect of a specific thing the pair is good at producing — traditionally the artist's angle. In a chart it's associated with making, craft, a particular knack, originality.

We call this one Making, after what the angle does rather than how it is supposed to feel. Elsewhere you will see the quintile called a “minor creative” aspect. Same geometry — it is worth knowing both words, but the older one rates the experience before you have looked at anything.
