STQ rhythm cycles (square-trine-quincunx)
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The repeating tri-aspect pattern that governs how planetary interaction unfolds over time: square (friction) → trine (flow) → quincunx (recalibration) → square (next friction). The cycle is the mechanism, not any single phase.
