When two planets are separated by a particular angle, astrologers believe that the influences of the two planets combine to create a strong effect on a person. In ancient astrology and much modern astrology five angles are considered very important: 0, 60, 80, 120, and 180 degrees. These important angles are known as "aspects". In modern times, many astrologers also interpret aspects of 30, 45, 135, and 150 degrees. Some astrologers also use a variety of other angles, such as 72, 144, 40, 80, and many other angles. In the late 20th century a branch of astrology known as "harmonic astrology" developed and practitioners of harmonic astrology believe that there are many hundreds of different aspects, so harmonic astrology has greatly increased the complexity of astrological interpretation. Not all astrologers are convinced that these additional aspects are important. Harmonic astrologers also group together various aspects which they believe to have a similar influence. For example, the fractions of 1/9 (40 degrees), 2/9 (80 degrees), and 4/9 (160 degrees) of a circle are known as "9th harmonic aspects". Given below are interpretations of the following 6 aspects: (1) the semisextile aspect, which is 30 degrees, (2) 24th harmonic aspects, (3) 16th and 32nd harmonic aspects, (4) quintiles and biquintiles, also known as 5th harmonic aspects, (5) the septile, biseptile, and triseptile aspects, also known as 7th harmonic aspects, and (6) the novile, binovile, and quadnovile aspects, also known as 9th harmonic aspects. These additional aspects are known as minor aspects or harmonic aspects. There are many other aspects used in harmonic astrology, but these aspects are among the most important and powerful, and hence this report describes some of the most important Harmonic Highlights in your astrology chart.

I recommend that you read this report after reading an interpretation based primarily on the most commonly used aspects. I think you will be impressed by the ways in which the aspects interpreted in this report describe major issues in your life and in your personality that are not described as clearly by the more commonly used aspects. Hopefully this analysis of harmonic aspects will be useful and helpful to you. If you are an astrologer and you currently do not use harmonic aspects, reading several Harmonic Highlights Reports of friends and family may make you a believer in harmonic aspects. Adding these additional aspects to your interpretation does add greater complexity and detail to your analysis, and keeping a clear, integrated view of the astrology chart becomes more difficult, but astrology is likely to grow in sophistication as it evolves and develops in the 21st century.

Aspects noted as "very strong" in the report have an orb of less than 1/3 the allowable orb and appear at the beginning of the report. "Strong" aspects have an orb of less than 2/3 the allowable orb, and aspects that have an orb that is 2/3 or greater of the allowable orb are printed at the end of the report.

For the benefit of astrologers, given below are the orbs used for each aspect. Note that according to harmonic theory, orbs are defined so that all harmonics occur equally often by chance, and hence the orbs are not rounded to the nearest degree.

Uranus 32nd harmonic (5/32) Neptune, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 07 Min):

        People who do not know you well may not realize how stong the inner child in you is. A world that is mundane and prosaic is not for you. You have a need for the inspirational, imaginative, and magical.

Saturn 24th harmonic (11/24) Pluto, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 12 Min):

        You avoid being distracted by too many material possessions, and you periodically cut out fat and waste in your life.

Mercury 5th harmonic (quintile) Jupiter, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 31 Min):

        You thoroughly enjoy being exposed to new ideas and perspectives. You seem to know a little bit about everything, and you find different philosophies, styles, and approaches very interesting. You tend to not be as opinionated as most people or to take all these different ideas as seriously as many others do.

Mercury 5th harmonic (biquintile) Saturn, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 44 Min):

        You have a talent for developing your own style or unique approach to a subject. You synthesize the models, concepts, or techniques of others into a pattern or design that is unique and personally comfortable for you. If you develop expertise or facility in any area, you will experiment and play with different conceptual models until you develop a new mold that suits your personal taste.

Jupiter 5th harmonic (biquintile) Saturn, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 13 Min):

        You are good at rearranging and redesigning things, and finding alternatives that are more efficient and less wasteful.

Mercury 7th harmonic (septile) Pluto, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 30 Min)

        You are a good researcher. You have the persistence, tenacity, and drive to dig below the surface and find out what the underlying causes or influences on something are. You may pursue an area of investigation that very few people pursue, and you are likely to incorporate historical or symbolic elements into your theories and research. You may also find mystery novels very entertaining.

Mars 9th harmonic (novile) Neptune, very strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 24 Min):

        You pursue your goals with a much broader perspective than most people. You incorporate a more global or universal perspective and you draw upon many different ethnic or cultural styles and religious traditions in your own life. You are open-minded and liberal, and have a strong sense of the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated things and you are inclined to a holistic or systems approach to whatever you do.

Sun 7th harmonic (triseptile) Saturn, strong    (Orb: 1 Deg 12 Min):

        You have a shy, receding side that likes to withdraw and contemplate things that you find interesting. Too much light socializing makes you uncomfortable. Any activity like reading, writing, or painting that helps you delve deeply into something is good for you. You can become irritated and angry if you are unable to create this time and space in your schedule on a regular basis for an activity of this kind.

Mars 7th harmonic (biseptile) Pluto, strong    (Orb: 1 Deg 03 Min):

        You have very good stamina and you are not fully satisfied with mediocre results. You are willing to work with dedication and commitment over a long period of time to gain mastery and excellence. You derive satisfaction from exploring the historical roots and the many underlying influences of any area of life, thereby gaining a deep and mature comprehension of the material.

Moon 9th harmonic (binovile) Mercury, strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 55 Min):

        You are an effective communicator on subjects of personal concern. You have a knack for making others feel welcome and accepted. You can use this gift as a counselor, teacher, parent, and in many other areas of life.

Venus 9th harmonic (quadnovile) Saturn, strong    (Orb: 0 Deg 55 Min):

        You are a good citizen, and most likely you contribute significantly to your local community. You are sensitive to, and concerned about, social injustices and social inadequacies that prevent some people from having the same opportunities as others have. You are a responsible and mature person. You can use your gift to make an important contribution that will have lasting benefits for your community.

Moon 32nd harmonic (7/32) Mercury    (Orb: 0 Deg 20 Min):

        You have a natural aptitude for psychology, history, and other areas that require a combination of intuition and intelligence. You have a good memory and good intuition.

Moon 16th harmonic (1/16) Venus    (Orb: 0 Deg 46 Min):

        You have a strong sentimental side that may not be obvious to others. It is critically important for you to have close and strong family relationships and friendships. Any difficulties in your personal relationships tend to destroy your enthusiasm, confidence and effectiveness in all areas of life.

Mercury 32nd harmonic (5/32) Venus    (Orb: 0 Deg 26 Min):

        You have a talent for combining intelligence and aesthetic sensitivity in many ways. Most likely you are an excellent communicator, with the ability to express ideas in a beautiful, sensitive, and articulate manner, particularly in writing or through art work, design, or other works that you can pour your heart into. Your gift may not be obvious superficially; it comes out when you apply yourself to an area that interests you. A career that involves elements of both intelligence (or communication) and aesthetic sensitivity can hold your attention and interest for many years, whereas a career that involves only intelligence, communication, or aesthetics is not likely to keep you motivated.

Sun 5th harmonic (quintile) Moon    (Orb: 2 Deg 44 Min):

        You love creativity. You take great delight in clever and creative works and in games. Even in your later years, this trait keeps you young, and you don't easily become bored because you find life so interesting.

Mercury 7th harmonic (septile) Mars    (Orb: 1 Deg 34 Min)

        You prefer studying a subject in depth and in detail. Skimming through a thousand years of history by memorizing some names and dates is, for example, almost completely meaningless for you. You seek meaning and depth of understanding. Often you are more interested in the underlying motives, history, or symbolism of an event rather than just the factual details. You have the capacity to develop interesting ideas and insights through prolonged, specialized study. There is a good chance that your way of thinking and learning as a child was under appreciated by your teachers.
