	Astrology & Karma: Free Will, Quincunx and Semi-Sextile - astrology.com
		Quincunx and Semi-sextile are two fated Aspects of the Zodiac.
		When they appear in your chart, they emphasize the lessons that we need to learn from the planets and how they need to be learned.
		In general, a Quincunx is a very difficult lesson that we need to master, but its rewards upon completion will be great.

	Yodastrology
		With a yod, it is a closed formation; 2 of these quincunxes from the same point re-adjusting and frustrating at the same time, closed by a sextile or opportunity to find the outlet.
		I typically use a 2.5* orb for the quincunx and 5* orb for sextiles.
		In my case, because the quincunxes or controversial legs of the yods are conjunct placements that are within orb, in my opinion, they are quincunx too.

	Weird Words: Quincunx
		The Romans used quincunx as a symbol or marker for five-twelfths of an as, the latter being a Roman copper coin which at one time weighed twelve ounces (which could be classed as an item of small change only if you are halfway to being a giant).
		The king is credited with having been the first to plant trees in a quincunx, though Browne claimed to have discovered that it also appeared in the hanging gardens of Babylon.
		At about the same period, quincunx began to be used in astrology to refer to an aspect of planets that are five signs of the zodiac apart (out of the twelve).

	Understanding the Aspects - Astrology.com
		A quincunx is present in a chart when two planets are 150 degrees from each other.
		The planets involved in a quincunx do not share the same quality or element, as is the case with squares and trines.
		Along those lines, an extension of the quincunx is the Yod, also referred to as the 'Finger of God.' In this little-known configuration, considered the most fated in Astrology, two planets which are sextiling (a sixty-degree Aspect) each other are in communion with a third planet which rests opposite the midpoint of the sextile.

		Quincunx is a multisampling technique that can almost be considered the happy medium between the 2X and 4X antialiasing modes.
		Quincunx AA alleviates memory bandwidth as well as reduces the amount of GPU processes by taking data samples from neighboring pixels instead of requiring the GPU to create additional samples for each pixel in the initial rendering step.
		By using these samples from neighboring pixels, Quincunx AA balances the image quality without having to write numerous amounts of samples per pixel to the frame buffer.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Quincunx, The (Charles Palliser)
		The Quincunx, written in 1989, is the ultimate Victorian novel, crammed with every last element of that genre: decrepit manor houses, rolling countrysides, untrustworthy and loyal servants, mysterious men in top hats, debtors prison, an abusive orphanage, even a lengthy and disgustingly described journey through the London sewers.
		A quincunx is a collection of five points, arranged as the four vertices of a square and a point in the center (like the number 5 on dice).
		The quincunx is a motif that appears throughout the book, most notably in its structure: the book has five parts, each with five subparts, and the middle part and subparts (the centers of the quincunxes) are all crucial turning points for the mystery (if not for the actual plot).

		Unlike some lesser brands, our Quincunx units are designed so that the pin block slides in from the side into a mitered slot, thus preventing binding were the wood to swell.
		Each Quincunx also has two or three gates which hold the bead distributions in place for comparison.
		One of the best features of previous model quincunx units has been the ability to simulate improved process capabilities with a narrow distribution pin block.

		.About 95% of all quincunx sales now are the Model WD-7 because it not only incorporates the three gates so you can view multiple distributions at one time, but it also has the adjustable pin block which makes four different distributions.
		The Quincunx (pronounced quinn-cux) or bead board, as some call it, was developed by a mathematician named Galton in the late 1800's.
		The quincunx performs two functions, one of generating data, and secondly, visually displaying it along with the tolerances, limits, etc.

	astrology: What's an inconjunction?
		using close orbs in the case of the quincunx isn't so much a matter of opinion as it is awareness of other minor aspects and the mistakes that can be made with lax math.
		allow a four degree orb on a quincunx and you could be confusing an out of orb quincunx with a nearly exact triseptile, even though the actions of the aspects are described very differently.
		again, this is a minor and obscure aspect, but its action is different from the quincunx, and confusing a triseptile with a quincunx is an inaccuracy.

	Quincunx, What is a quincunx in an astrology chart? What does a quincunx look like in a Natal Chart? . . .
		The quincunx is asking you to change something or make an adjustment in the 2 houses where the planets sit that create the quincunx.
		A quincunx is thought to be one of the most difficult aspects to work with because it will not allow for retreat.
		Remember, 2 quincunx plus 1 sextile makes a "yod," which means the "Finger of God." Couple the intuition with the "yod" and you have a blast of intuition coming through to your "I AM" presence.

	Literary Encyclopedia: De Quincunx, or The Garden of Cyrus
		Also known as de Quincunx (from the diamond figure of four points plus the centre-point), its ostensible purpose was to discover quincunxes, or figures of five, in the natural and the artificial world – in plants, in battle-formations, in the angle of incidence in which light strikes the retina.
		For Browne, however, the quincunx, a kind of signature, has no exact meaning of this kind but rather functions more generally, in the sheer weight of instances, as a joyful reassurance of God's watchfulness, design, and purpose in the world.
		This, the single most important area of investigation for early-modern biology, was one which Browne was not only expertly equipped to consider (he was a doctor and a plant-specialist whose avocation was, among many, the dissection, germination, and examination of seeds and eggs), but one which is gloriously pertinent to his religious beliefs.

		HRAA Quincunx would have an error of 1^20.125 + 1^20.125 + 1^20.125 + 1^20.125 + 0^20.5 = 0.5 versus the Quincunx* AccuView error of 0.5^20.125 + 0.5^20.5 + 1.5^20.125 + 1.15^20.125 + 1.15^2*0.125 = 0.768125.

		In this case, you fix the outer points of the quincunx in the earth at the four outside corners of the building and then crawl under the house to make a center-point burial as close to the center of the quincunx as possible.
