True. But in looking at this particular 'potential' quincunx, there are a couple of things that warrant a second look. The Moon is in Libra, so Venus is the ruler. And there is a potential yod because of the simultaneous quincunx to the Mercury. And so the Mercury sextiles the Venus, which in my opinion, strengthens the potential for a quincunx. So I would allow a 4 degree orb because of those circumstances.
eta: also, when looking at the Moon, often the orb is given a wider latitude.
All true. I was just speaking to an 8 deg orb.
