Quincunx

The quincunx is the most inconvenient of the minor aspects: planets are neither in harmony nor in conflict, as if they do not hear each other. Themes must be manually reconciled each time because they have no common language.

Look at which two areas of life it connects: they will need to be consciously reconciled. The quincunx is noticeable by a recurring feeling that one interferes with the other, even though there seems to be no link.

An aspect is rarely exact to the minute. The orb is the allowable deviation from the exact angle at which the aspect is still considered active. An angle of 88 degrees with an orb of 7 is a square with a 2‑degree deviation, and the smaller the deviation, the stronger the aspect manifests.

An aspect is called applying if the deviation from the exact angle is decreasing, and separating if it is increasing. The platform checks this by shifting the calculation forward by 0.2 days. An applying aspect is still gaining strength, a separating one has already completed its effect.
