Using the technique of harmonics, one can concentrate on a certain division of the circle, instead of searching for minor aspects. Also, the interpretation of the minor aspects is by no means as clear as that of the major aspects. However, these aspects and their multiples can only be arrived at by calculation. This is as far as the minor aspects go, giving us the quintile, sextile, septile, octile, novile and decile aspects. The corresponding square is generally considered difficult, each side obstructing the other, unable to give way.Ĭonsidering the above, we might well wonder about the division of the circle by other numbers, for example 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The number four is matter made manifest, law fulfilled, that which has become. Accordingly, they support and complement each other. Usually, planets in trine are in the same element. The number three symbolizes a creative striving ‘ thesis and antithesis leading to a synthesis. The number two is the division of this one-ness into polarities, for example male and female, upper and lower, yin and yang, etc., leading to a certain tension of opposites. The number one symbolizes the original oneness of all being, and consequently two planets in conjunction become a unified whole. Division by 2 gives us 180° (Opposition) division by 3 gives us the trine(120°), When we divide by 4 we have a square (90°). Although the interpretation depends greatly on the nature of the planets involved, this view largely derives from the traditional symbolism of the numbers 1,2,3 and 4: When the circle is divided by the number one, the result is again 360° or 0° – the distance which defines a conjunction. The aspects imply favorable, unfavorable or ambivalent relationships between the planets. The number corresponding to each ‘vibration’ influences the interpretation.Īt the risk over oversimplifying, one can say that the study of harmonics greatly extends and differentiates the theory of aspects. In the harmonic chart, these planets form conjunctions. For example, the fourth harmonic would involve all those planets which share square aspects (90° – division of the circle by four). By using a higher vibration, we can ’cause’ the circle to oscillate more quickly, so to speak, and investigate which planets work together in this particular pattern. The whole zodiac (360°) is taken as the basic tone, representing the number one (1). Harmonic horoscopes are based on principles of resonance, like overtones, which are present in every horoscope.
