Oh, what a difficult task to explain that.
Just few days ago I started to use it and to learn a little about it and am so fascinated and delighted. And happy.
An intro from
www.aquarius-atlanta.com/aug04/harmonic.shtml>>>>The Harmonic Charts were first written about by the British astrologer John Addey, and encompass fairly sophisticated theories of physics to explain their impact. His approach provides a conceptual basis for how aspects work, and how to look at a chart with the emphasis on one aspect for a deeper underlying meaning.>>>>
Bobmarkastrologer writes about harmonics:
>>>>>This has to be one of the greatest advances in astrological analysis of the last hundred years. >>>>
It is not so complicated to explain the main principle of calculating, and here is a text from:
www.bobmarksastrologer.com/harmonics32.1.html >>>You would first have to assign numbers to all of the degrees of the zodiac, starting with the first degree of Aries as number one and ending with the last degree of Pisces as number 360. Then, you will have to give each planet a number, depending on the degree it happens to be in. It gets more complicated. You have to put in the minutes and seconds of arc as well.
Then you choose the harmonic that you want to examine. What next? Multiply ALL of those planetary position numbers by the number of the harmonic. Good luck! Oh, were not finished yet. Most of the numbers you will get are going to be over 360, but there are only 360 degrees in a circle. You will have to subtract 360 again and again until you get a number that is less than 360. After that, you can put the planets in the wheel.>>>> (from
www.bobmarksastrologer.com/harmonics32.1.html ) >>>
also one other explanation
>>>>A harmonic horoscope is derived by multiplying the longitude of every planet by a number to arrive at the planets' new zodiacal position in that harmonic number. Each harmonic is associated with a specific aspect determined by dividing the harmonic number into 360 degrees. The Second Harmonic chart, for example, is derived by multiplying every planetary position by Two; dividing 360 degrees by two produces a 180 degree angle, an opposition. All planets exactly in opposition in the natal chart will be conjunct in the Second Harmonic chart. The Fourth Harmonic chart multiplies each natal planetary position by four; dividing 360 degrees by the Power of Four produces square, or 90 degree, aspects. Thus, all planets exactly square in the natal chart will be conjunct in the Fourth Harmonic chart, and so forth. The Fifth Harmonic chart unifies quintiles, Sixth Harmonic with sextiles, Seventh Harmonic with septiles, Eighth Harmonic with octiles better known as semisquares, Ninth Harmonic with novile 40 degree angles, and the Tenth Harmonic with decile 36 degree angles.>>>>>
But fortunatelly, computers can do that for us, here is how to get a chart without that claculations:
>>>>>To run off a copy of your 9th harmonic chart, if you do not have the software to do it, go to
www.astro.com. After you enter your chart data, go to the 'Extended Chart Selection.' Under 'Please select the type of chart you want,' choose "Harmonic Chart (day -> harmonic number)." Then under 'start date for charts marked with' just enter '9' for the day's date (to give you the 9th harmonic). Then view the chart. You can look at the chart by finding the degree of the ASC, and drawing equal houses all the way around. Or--and this is better if the birth time isn't totally precise--draw whole-sign houses, where the sign that contains the ASC becomes the entire first house, and so on from there.>>>>
>>>>Some VERY IMPORTANT words of caution:
1) DON'T EVER try to do aspects between harmonics of different numbers. They are totally different animals.
2) There are no signs or houses in harmonic charts. Remember that everything has been rearranged, so please don't do sign or house interpretations because they are no longer there. The purpose of harmonics is to get more information about aspects and aspect patterns.>>>>>
>>>>>The Fourth Harmonic:
The 4th harmonic shows how we deal with stress, strain, and struggle. When you construct a 4th harmonic chart, all of the conjunction, square, and opposition aspects in the original horoscope appear as conjunctions and this makes them easier to see. Of course, these aspects are pretty easy to see in the original horoscope as well, so what's the point? The point is that the minor aspects, the semi-square (45 degrees) and sequa-square (135 degrees), which are difficult to spot by a quick visual inspection, now appear as oppositions, and can be seen at a glance. Not only that, but other minor stress aspects (22 ½ degrees, 67 ½ degrees, 157 ½ degrees), which can take a very long time to locate, now become squares. In the 4th harmonic, whole patterns of stress aspects can be spotted, and this gives you a big edge for interpretation.>>>>>
>>>>The Fifth Harmonic:
The 5th harmonic chart indicates talent, if any. In the 5th harmonic chart, all of the quintiles and bi-quintiles come together as conjunctions, making them very easy to spot. The semi-quintiles and sesqua-quintiles become oppositions. Quintiles are one fifth of a circle (72 degrees) and they give talent and power, and show our ability to put things together (pattern recognition).<<<<
>>>>The Seventh Harmonic:
According to Hamblin in his book, "Harmonic Charts," the seventh harmonic has to do with
"…man's highest flights of creative imagination, and his lowest depths of destructive illusion. It is a number not of permanence, but of transience; not of unchanging truth, but of sudden flashes of light and darkness; not of objective reality, but of subjective impressions and the emotional experience which man derives from those impressions; not of knowledge, but of fantasy. It is, in short, a romantic number."(Pg. 65).
In other words, the 7th harmonic has to do with inspiration, with what inspires us and how we can inspire others. This is an important ingredient of creativity.>>>>
>>>>The Ninth Harmonic:
According to Hamblin, the 9th harmonic chart shows "…a person's capacity for joy and happiness," and it also "…shows the person's capacity to spread joy and happiness to those around (them)." While the 4th harmonic shows how we can deal with stress, strain, and struggle, the 9th harmonic, by contrast, shows how we can be at peace. >>>>
But in Vedic astrology the 9th harmonic chart, they call it Navamsa, is the chart of Marriage.
In Vedic astrology each chart represents a different life theme, such as career, parents, spouse. Analysis of that chart supplements the information about the life theme given by the natal chart.
There are more harmonics that astrolgers use 2nd, 11th, 13th, 17, 19...
The most significant planets in the harmonic horoscope are those that form a conjunction because they resonate most closely with the harmonic number.
With harmonic charts we can do synastry too, even transits, I wrote they work, but not all, and some work very subtle.
There are also Age Harmonics chart, where age is a base to run a chart.
