In Tarot - 1 is beginnings, 2 is partnership, 3 is birth, 4 is our foundation & security and 5 is the "unleashing" of our true nature. The 5 represents self-serving, even magical powers. It represents the mind - that which empowers us to act for ourselves. In esoteric tradition, 5 is the number of humanity. On the other hand, without such compulsions, many of us would flounder in a sea of mediocrity. Depending on the closeness of the aspect (by degrees in orb) and the planets or personal points involved, our behavior may become obsessive and uncontrolled. Much more compelling than the dynamic Square aspect, the quintile sends us beyond reason into areas of the psyche that don't care whether or not we conform to or fit in with others. While this may sound daunting, I believe that Quintiles give us incredible strengths and powers that push us to succeed in whatever it is we are here on this earth to accomplish. Quintiles may be quite upsetting if we're not aware of them! They often show personality traits that we can't seem to help or even understand. These 1/5th or 1/10 (of a circle) aspects between planets create compulsive tendencies imbedded so deeply in one's being that they can become insurmountable, uncontrollable behavior patterns. Quintiles show in what areas of life one is powerfully driven. Often overlooked in Astrological practice, I have found the quintile to be extremely useful in assessing personality traits.
