Biquintile
Two fifths of the circle. The biquintile closes the pentagram that the quintile opens: where 72 degrees gives a native capacity for form, 144 degrees gives the same capacity at a remove, so it tends to appear as craft exercised on material already made by someone else.
Kepler's fourth book of the Harmonices Mundi derives aspects from musical ratios and admits the fifth-harmonic division; the biquintile as a working aspect belongs to the 20th-century harmonics school, not to Hellenistic or medieval practice.

Two fifths of the circle. The biquintile closes the pentagram that the quintile opens: where 72 degrees gives a native capacity for form, 144 degrees gives the same capacity at a remove, so it tends to appear as craft exercised on material already made by someone else, or as a talent that only shows when the person is finishing rather than starting.

Modern: 1-2 degrees. There is no traditional orb because the aspect is not classical; Lilly's planetary orbs (Sun 17, Moon 12, Jupiter 11, Saturn 9, Mercury, Venus and Mars 7, each halved into a moiety) do not cover it.
