Harmonic Highlights Report for Frida Kahlo July 6, 1907 8:30 AM Coyoacan, Mexico
AstroFix The Blog of an Astrology Addict astrofix.net michelle@astrofix.net 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, 90, 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. If there are any midpoints conjunct or opposition midpoints within a 15 minute orb, these are also interpreted. These four-planet patterns are also known as isotraps or planetary pictures. Finally, planets conjunct or opposition the midpoint of two other planets are interpreted. These midpoint structures are also known as direct midpoint structures because the angular distance from the planet at the midpoint to each of the other two planets is the same. Direct midpoint structures with an orb of less than 15 minutes are analyzed first followed by those with a 30 minute orb, then a
1 degree orb, and finally up to a 1 1/2 degree orb. Therefore the midpoint structures with smaller orbs are interpreted first followed by midpoint structures with larger orbs. 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. Aspects and orbs: 16th harmonic : 1 Deg 00 Min 32nd harmonic : 0 Deg 30 Min 24th harmonic : 0 Deg 40 Min 5th harmonic : 3 Deg 12 Min 7th harmonic : 2 Deg 17 Min 9th harmonic : 1 Deg 47 Min semisextile : 1 Deg 20 Min Moon 32nd harmonic (7/32) Pluto, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 05 Min): You are fascinated by deeper feelings and you have a need to express your deepest fears, hopes, sorrows, and joys through emotionally intense experiences. You may have an interest in suspense movies or books, extreme sports, or depth psychology. Venus 32nd harmonic (1/32) Saturn, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 07 Min): When a friend needs help with something really important, you will be there to give it. You are responsible and respectful to others and behave in a mature way, even as a child. You are much more attracted to a person who has integrity and character than to a person who is physically beautiful but shallow or superficial. Those who do not know you well may not realize that you are very responsible and trustworthy because you do not dramatize, emphasize, or preach ethics to others.
Mercury 24th harmonic (5/24) Pluto, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 12 Min): A key to success in life for you is to specialize in a few areas that interest you and become fully engrossed in them. You are inclined to become fully engrossed in a book or in some activity which interests you, and this can be used to advantage in helping you develop expertise and depth of understanding or excellent technique in the area that you choose to focus on. Moon 5th harmonic (biquintile) Venus, very strong (Orb: 1 Deg 00 Min): You enjoy, and seek out, relationships that bring interesting experiences into your life. Laughter, games, and learning together are likely to be more important to you than physical attraction. You are likely to take a creative approach to your home environment and your tastes are a bit unconventional or more sensitively developed than other people in your family. If you have not developed the qualities described above, then this is a side of yourself that you may have suppressed or avoided, and consequently liberating your creative, fun-loving side can fill an empty or missing aspect of your life. Neptune 5th harmonic (biquintile) Pluto, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 44 Min): You have strong and specific tastes in art, music, and in preferred life styles. You are drawn to particular ethnic styles and artistic and musical styles with a strong passion. Moon 7th harmonic (triseptile) Saturn, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 04 Min): There is a very strong reclusive, meditative, and reflective side to you. It is nearly impossible for you to develop and grow properly without time to think deeply and ponder issues. Reading, or other solitary activities like painting, suit you well. It is important for you to stay limber. Stretching exercises or yoga can be wonderfully healing for you and help your bones and joints remain strong and healthy. Sun 32nd harmonic (9/32) Venus, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 20 Min):
You can be successful in a career that requires doing something that is aesthetically pleasing. You may also have high standards for yourself, and be very uncomfortable if clothing is not well coordinated or your weight or health are not optimum. In one way or another, making things attractive is important to you, and this trait is so personal and deep that others may not realize its importance to you. Sun 16th harmonic (5/16) Saturn, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 26 Min): You are a highly ethical person with a serious view of life. You shy away from the limelight and what you regard as superficialities. Your dedication, commitment and seriousness help you succeed in achieving your goals, but be careful to not severely limit your range of possibilities. Moon 16th harmonic (3/16) Mars, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 28 Min): You are a quiet and determined competitor. You have the ability to focus and apply great effort and you enjoy battles and meeting obstacles more than most people. Be wary of a tendency to become angry or dissatisfied with friends, colleagues, and associates who do not share your taste for competition. Sun 7th harmonic (biseptile) Venus, strong (Orb: 1 Deg 17 Min): Your sense of love and beauty is deep and soulful. You are more attracted to a person who can share your taste for the soulful, perhaps ancient, mythic, or complex artistic and musical styles than a person who is physically beautiful but emotionally shallow. Moon 9th harmonic (binovile) Pluto, strong (Orb: 1 Deg 10 Min): You enjoy seeing people express deeply felt urges that have been repressed or ignored. You have a knack for getting people to talk about their deepest feelings, and very often a light, casual conversation with you turns into a deeper probing into one another's emotional experiences, fears, concern, hopes, joys, and sorrows.
Mercury 9th harmonic (binovile) Jupiter, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 46 Min): You are very broad-minded, love almost all cultures and ethnicities, and you find it easy to incorporate almost any philosophical or religious system into your own life. Your approach is to unify rather than categorize and separate. You may find it difficult to understand how others can tenaciously cling to one particular viewpoint, argue its virtues over another, and emphasize differences rather than similarities. Your holistic perspective makes you a good negotiator or peacemaker. Mercury 16th harmonic (3/16) Neptune (Orb: 0 Deg 59 Min): You have a great capacity for becoming enthralled with an idea. Your childlike sense of awe and fascination for the wonders of nature, arts, or technology enable you to enjoy and appreciate life. You should preserve and express your sense of awe and wonder and to follow your dreams, even if they seem unattainable or impractical to others. Saturn 24th harmonic (5/24) Pluto (Orb: 0 Deg 32 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) Pluto (Orb: 2 Deg 48 Min): You appreciate any work that is done with passion. You enjoy periodically becoming fully engrossed in a book, research, movie, sports, or any other activity. You have the ability to develop expertise or excellent technique through your combination of creativity and focused attention. Jupiter 5th harmonic (quintile) Saturn (Orb: 2 Deg 27 Min): You are good at rearranging and redesigning things, and finding alternatives that are more efficient and less wasteful.
Saturn 5th harmonic (biquintile) Neptune (Orb: 2 Deg 48 Min): You have an intuitive understanding of differing religious philosophies and the ability to appreciate different values and priorities of different cultures. Venus 7th harmonic (triseptile) Neptune (Orb: 1 Deg 43 Min): Your tastes in art and your romantic relationships are unusual. You seek a deep, soulful, almost mystical bond and you may feel an affinity with particular cultural, ethnic, historical, and artistic styles, even if you were not exposed to them when young. Sun 9th harmonic (novile) Moon (Orb: 1 Deg 25 Min): Mixing with others and feeling comfortable with them is easy for you. You appreciate different ethnic styles, and people feel comfortable with you. You have a calming and comforting effect on others. You have a strong sense of community and you may find you have an instinctive sense of the inter-relatedness and inter-dependency of different things, and you are good at resolving conflicts and different points of view. Jupiter 9th harmonic (novile) Uranus (Orb: 1 Deg 29 Min): You work very well with other people and you have a talent for inspiring others and bringing enthusiasm and optimism to others. You are able to resolve problems by changing the mood and attitude of others from being doubtful to being optimistic and trusting. You take a broad view of things and you do not allow little details to derail an idea or project that is fundamentally sound. MIDPOINTS CONJUNCT/OPPOSITION MIDPOINTS (if there are any with up to a 15 minute orb) Sun/Jupiter conjunct Moon/Uranus: (Orb: 0 Deg 02 Min):
You have a buoyant, optimistic attitude and a progressive enterprising nature that inclines you to be able to see new ways that things can be done. You enjoy life, have a good sense of humor and you are creative and inventive. You can be successful in an area that requires innovation and leadership. Moon/Pluto opposition Venus/Neptune: (Orb: 0 Deg 08 Min): Your emotions are so deep, intense, and idealistic that you must not marry for practical reasons, and you must not be content with a comfortable but emotionally tepid life. You are intensely romantic and idealistic and you are emotionally sensitive and intense. You need to pour your heart into whatever you do, and to feel that you dreams of love, security, and peace, and joy can and will manifest. Venus/Pluto conjunct Mars/Saturn: (Orb: 0 Deg 13 Min): You are a serious and responsible person. You can place so much emphasis on responsibility to others that your life can become an unending series of chores that you perform to meet your responsibilities, and you may feel guilty if you indulge in small extravagances and pleasures. Remember that one of your responsibilities is to give joy and peace to those you and the people you interact with and serve and to yourself as well. DIRECT MIDPOINT STRUCTURES (allowable orb = 1 1/2 degrees) Sun Conjunct Mercury/Pluto 0 deg 01 min When you get interested in a subject, you like to go all the way, uncovering the depths of the subject. You are a person that really loves to learn, but your love of learning ironically sometimes causes you to lose interest in academics! Memorization, the drudgery of homework, and competing for better grades are not exciting to you; what is exciting to you is discovery, and finding out the hidden causes of something. Once you uncover how something works, you can become a little fanatical about its importance and lose perspective.
Pluto Conjunct Mercury/Saturn 0 deg 22 min You are very good at detailed work and you can excel as a specialist in your chosen field of work. You have excellent mental concentration and you love to discover how things work. Because you focus so intensely on the object of your study, you sometimes miss general principles and concepts. You will succeed in areas that demand the specialized capabilities that you have to offer. Sun Conjunct Moon/Jupiter 0 deg 59 min You can succeed in an area that requires you to interact with a lot of other people, because people find you to be very approachable. You have a friendly, easy-going disposition that makes others feel welcome and comfortable around you. Jupiter Conjunct Sun/Uranus 0 deg 57 min You are enthusiastic and have a good sense of humor. Your optimism and progressive, forwardlooking attitude leads you on a path of fresh and interesting opportunities. Do not waste time involving yourself with less responsive, more conservative people, organizations, and groups, because your own personal advancement will be hindered by such people; it is better to surround yourself with responsive, progressive people like yourself. Moon Conjunct Mars/Neptune 1 deg 18 min It is important for you to be creative, to make imaginative things, and do something that employs your sensitivity and imagination. Rather than do things the same old way, let your imagination dream up a more beautiful or unusual style. Sometimes you may feel that your ideas are weird or simply will not turn out well, but with care and attention they can be the most rewarding activities that you engage in, both for yourself and others. * * * * * * *
