Astrological aspects – biquintiles

Biquintiles in Clairvision Virtual Astrologer

Note: to quickly judge the biquintiles in a chart, Clairvision Virtual Astrologer has a drawing preset called 'Biquintiles Only'.

The biquintile is an aspect which is usually regarded as very minor. At the Clairvision School, however, we have found it to be extremely powerful, at least in certain charts.

There are some symbolic reasons for this. What is a quintile? An aspect which measures a fifth of a circle, that is, 72 degrees. What is a biquintile? Twice a quintile, that is, 144 degrees – the measure of a pentagram.

If you draw a pentagram, or five branched star, within a circle, you can easily see that between each spike, there is a quintile (a fifth of a circle), and that each line of the pentagram delineates a biquintile, or two fifths of the circle.

The pentagram is perhaps the most magic of all figures of sacred geometry. It symbolizes occult power, the mastery of esoteric principles and of astral forces. It has sometimes been used by black magicians (who use it 'upside down') but there is nothing intrinsically evil in it. The pentagram is sheer power, and can be used for either pure or evil purposes.

This is exactly the significance that we have attributed to the biquintile – deep occult power. For instance, in the 'Teachers' database, look at Uri Geller's very tight Mars-Saturn biquintile (12').

It has appeared to us that biquintile spikes are particularly powerful. In terms of sacred geometry, one can easily see a reason for this. When two biquintiles are organized in a spike, they form the beginning of a full pentagram.

From this perspective, we invite you to use the 'Biquintile Only' drawing preset in Clairvision Virtual Astrologer and view the charts of Satya Sai Baba and Adolf Hitler, two men of great power – a white magician and a black magician (Walter Stein saw in Adolf Hitler the reincarnation of Klingsor). What can you see? Surprise!

Satya Sai Baba's chart forms a near complete pentagram. Hitler's forms 60% of a pentagram, firmly grounded in Black Moon and Pluto, which is especially noticeable in a chart which is otherwise rather common.

Symbol for biquintiles in Clairvision Virtual Astrologer

In Clairvision Virtual Astrologer, the traditional symbol for biquintile (which most astrologers never bothered memorising) is replaced by a small pentagram. This symbol appears more appropriate for this aspect, which has been largely underestimated so far. Hopefully, this will be the start of a new career for biquintiles.

And what about triquintiles?

If biquintiles are so powerful, should we also be looking at triquintiles (three fifths of a circle)? No, because whenever two planets form a biquintile, they form a triquintile at the same time (on the other side of the circle). Draw a pentagram and you will immediately understand.
