Here is info on harmonics. They are kinda hard to explain. I prefer to just look at harmonic aspects in a regular chart and not look at harmonic charts. You have to use reasonable orbs with the nonPtolemaic aspects.
Every aspect in Astrology is based on a harmonic which means a division of the circle. After all chart is a circle and it is 360 degrees.
conjunction is 1st harmonic
opposition is 2nd harmonic
trine is 3rd harmonic
square is 4th harmonic
quintile is 5th harmonic
sextile is 6th harmonic
septile is 7th harmonic
semisquare,sesquiquadrate is 8th harmonic
novile,binovile,quadranovile are 9th harmonic
decile,tridecile is 10th harmonic
undecile,biundecile,triundecile,quadriundecile,and quinqueundecile are 11th harmonic
semisextile,quincunx are 12th harmonic
some numbers are skipped in certain harmonics because they are already aspects or they are waning aspects...waning aspect are aspects that are past 180 degrees(opposition)
for example trine is also trinovile(3/9)and bisextile(2/6)and a 12th harmonic(4/12)
aspects that are past 50 percent of a circle are waning aspects.

check out Numerology too. each number has special meanings. I feel that understanding Numerology helped me to understanding harmonic aspects.
