In this work, we consider the exterior static axisymmetric gravitational of compact objects. We investigate the properties of the q-metric which is the simplest generalization of the Schwarzschild solution that contains a quadrupole parameter. The geodesic line equation is derived from the field equations and the orbits of the test particle are investigated. We consider the stability properties of test particles moving along circular orbits around a mass with quadrupole. We show that the quadrupole modifies drastically the properties of an accretion disk made of such test particles.
