The only aspects that exist to me are the conjunction, opposition, square, sextile, and trine and, depending on the planets, the quincunx.

Otherwise, what's the meaning of it all? It seems like BS and like it's just diluting the meaning of astrology. Because, in that case, then almost everyone could have a Moon-Mercury aspect or whatever. And it often sounds like wishful thinking or something. Or someone just mistaking another placement in their chart for their Moon quintile Mercury placement.

To me, all the major aspects make sense:
conjunction - combination of the planets
square - tension between the planets
opposition - planets at total odds
sextile and trine - ease between planets
quincunx - imbalance between planets

That's why they make sense to me and it makes sense how they instill the aspect in someone's temperament. But, biquintile, septile? I don't understand it. Not going on the attack or anything. I've just been studying astrology for nearly seven years and that stuff still confuses me.

Why would the division of the circle by 5 or 7 be less significant than the division by 6?

It's not a rhetorical question

Very cool! I would especially like to know how your relationships with your mother effect your individual self images.

"Quintiles are measured from plus or minus seventy-two degrees. Bi- quintiles are measured from plus or minus one hundred and forty four degrees which is one or two fifths of a circle. When planets are quintile or bi-quintile this is an indication of uncommon creative energy and talent. They are trend-setters and need an audience. The energy here is specialized and purposely striving toward power. Quintile and bi-quintile energy can be romantic, playful and demonstrative. The quintile family of aspects can indicate science, math and engineering. There's a need to make things happen. Cosmic will seems to be at play here, so if creative things aren't happening, then look for destruction. Quintiles and bi-quintiles bring a certain dignity, clarity, pride and unusual sexual energy. A quintile resonates with the Sun, Fixed, Fire and Leo energy."

Thanks Xiiro, I'm not sure why I didn't answer this?

My relationship with my mother effecting my individual self image has not been very good. My mother is very critical and hardly ever gives any praise. No matter how good I do things she will always find a fault and bring me down. She has been a source of major stress for me especially recent years. But I'm not so sure this is liked to my Bi- quintile because she has been the same to my other 2 brothers.

My Bi- quintile between my 8th house moon and Ascendant for me has helped me be insightful and is a good energy, but has made me different from others. I agree about being a trend setter, I defintely do my own thing and march to my own beat. I'm not a follower at all but I don't need an audience and don't think I'm striving toward power at all, I don't want any power just peace and harmony.

I can agree with most of what you say there about science, math, a need to make things happen. Cosmic will does seems to be at play with me. I do have the clarity and probably pride and possibly unusual sexual energy?

This unusual link from my ASC to my moon I think makes me be able to know how people are feeling, I can seem to tune into other peoples feelings and depending on how they feel this affects me strongly. If someone has a bad energy it can make me feel unwell and ill. if someone has a good energy and is a good person this can give me lots of good energy and that's why I like to be around calm, good people.

People who are after wealth power and possesions do nothing for me, they are a world apart from where I am. I just want to learn more and understand more and to help others. But I will say that I often feel distrust from other people, I've noticed that a lot.

I have a lot of quintiles and biquintiles and for some reason never thought they mattered much. But now I see that I was wrong. There must be a reason they are all there..

They are equated by some astrologers to talent. Some see underlying determination of single-mindedness in those who have them. A single one of these aspects doesn't add up to much.

You could view Mars BQ Neptune (theoretically) as Mars acting upon the activities of Neptune (creative/imaginative) or Neptune rendering the assertion of Mars more subtle and crafty (not necessarily in a negative sense.

I have theorized in the past that this aspect series is one that shows up plentifully and well-organized in the birth charts of people who carry in lots of past life development, wisdom, talent, etc. But I have yet to arrive at a good, controlled way to test that.

Generally the quintile series (Keplerian aspects: 36/decile, 72/quintile, 144/biquintile) are more subtle than the major aspects, therefore difficult to discern in terms of meaning. However, these are flowing aspects similar in dynamic to sextiles, if not equal in strength.
