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, 2 P age
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 3 P age
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 32nd harmonic 24th harmonic 5th harmonic 7th harmonic 9th harmonic semisextile : 1 Deg 00 Min : 0 Deg 30 Min : 0 Deg 40 Min : 3 Deg 12 Min : 2 Deg 17 Min : 1 Deg 47 Min : 1 Deg 20 Min Saturn 24th harmonic (7/24) Neptune, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 03 Min): You dislike glamour and superficiality. You question the ideals and religious beliefs that you are exposed to, and you are inclined to focus on the most essential and fundamental religious or spiritual values. You may be so serious in your pursuit of your ideals that you miss the joys of fantasy and the magic of having a vivid imagination. Moon 7th harmonic (septile) Jupiter, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 42 Min) If you haven't done so already, consider joining a group that practices or trains together, 4 P age
whether that be a musical group, sports team, or other association of people that practice and work together. You feel emotionally liberated and happy when you are part of a team or even an organization where each person works effectively with everyone else. Wild parties or disorganized collections of people are not as important to you as a group of people that works or trains together. You may not have been able to verbalize your preferences in this way but your tendency to shy away from casual light social gatherings is from your need to have a deeper kind of bonding based on a shared discipline or challenge. Mercury 7th harmonic (triseptile) Uranus, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 00 Min): Your mind can concentrate and focus in areas that others are inclined to avoid. You have a tendency to tackle a difficult problem or subject rather than an easy one. You are capable of prolonged, abstract thinking, and you can enjoy the stress and challenge of unraveling a difficult but exciting subject. Your thinking process is unusual and sometimes you may fail to grasp simple ideas and yet have great facility and aptitude for other subjects that most people find abstruse and difficult. Over time you can develop exceptional expertise in an academic subject. Mars 9th harmonic (quadnovile) Pluto, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 21 Min): You like to synthesize many different influences into whatever you do.

communication abilities of others. Mercury 16th harmonic (7/16) Mars, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 26 Min): You have a talent for filtering out extraneous or useless information. You are too impatient to get to the "bottom line" to spend much time listening to what you consider useless information. You have strong opinions and confidence in the subject areas that you have chosen to focus on. Although you have strong views, you may not be argumentative at all because you are so self-assured that you don't need to prove your point to others or convince them that you are correct. You become angry or defiant only if someone tries to interfere with your personal interest and views, and this is not likely to occur very often, if at all. Jupiter 16th harmonic (5/16) Saturn, strong (Orb: 0 Deg 29 Min): You avoid wild speculation and gambling and you are quick to note inadequacies of people or things that are highly acclaimed but you regard as superficial or mediocre.

You may be drawn to particular historical, artistic, cultural, ethnic, and religious traditions even though you were not exposed to them at an early age. MIDPOINTS CONJUNCT/OPPOSITION MIDPOINTS (if there are any with up to a 15 minute orb) Sun/Pluto conjunct Venus/Neptune: (Orb: 0 Deg 12 Min): You have an intensely romantic side to yourself, and you are inclined to fall deeply in love. You have a sense of love and beauty that is more intense and imaginative than most people. You are drawn to intense art forms and intense romantic relationships.

You need to work in an area that captures your imagination. Like a child, you can get very excited about things which to others seem less important or dramatic. You succeed in areas where you can share your sense of magic and wonder. Your dreams may revolve around something as simple as athletic performances or as grand as visions of world peace; whatever your dream, follow it and share it, but take an objective look also at how your dreams and visions fit into the lives of others and the world in general.
