Quincunx
Also called inconjunct
Two bodies 150° apart, also called the inconjunct; a minor aspect this site does not calculate except inside a yod.
Signs 150° apart share neither element, modality nor polarity. Modern astrologers read the quincunx as an awkward adjustment.
- How it is worked out
- Two bodies 150° apart along the ecliptic, within the allowed orb.
