What sets Bi-Quintile apart
The bi-quintile is 144 degrees, two quintiles, and it is the angle you get by joining every second point of a regular five-pointed star. It stands 36 degrees short of an opposition, and it falls between the trine at 120 degrees and the quincunx at 150 degrees. As a member of the fifth harmonic it takes the same narrow orb as the quintile, commonly about 1 to 2 degrees.
- Angle: 144 degrees, which is 2 times 72
- Harmonic: the fifth harmonic, the second multiple
- Gap to opposition: 36 degrees, a tenth of the circle
- Neighbours: trine 120 degrees below it, quincunx 150 degrees above it
- Orb: kept as narrow as the quintile, near 1 to 2 degrees
Often mistaken for something else: The quintile is the same family at 72 degrees; the bi-quintile is its double, wider and closer to a trine than to a sextile.
