Sextiles and trines are harmonious, and point to basic understanding between the planets and points. Squares and oppositions can point to frictions, but also growth and fascination, because the signs are of the same modality. Heck, even semi-sextile signs can share the same quadrant, which can at least indicate some understanding.
The quincunx, on the other hand, indicates a 150 degree orb between two planets or points. This aspect is a tricky one, as the two signs do not have much in common. Nevertheless, quincunx aspects can generate a lot intrigue because the two signs are so different. There is a potential to learn a lot from one another, especially if the couple has other harmonious synastry aspects between them. This aspect requires adjustments and empathy, and a willingness to keep an open mind.
