As of yesterday I've really gotten into Harmonics charts.

I've gotten a grasp (but not memorized) what each harmonic is for. I understand how they are calculated to an extent. Interpretation is very very tricky.

Is anyone else very familiar with harmonic charts?
I'd love to discuss them, with it kept in mind that I'm very new with this.

I'd REALLY like to get some good learning resources such as websites, books, e-books, etc etc. I really want to learn these! I find them incredibly fascinating. Just amazing.

I used to think that I wanted to go further into asteroids but no... I want to go this direction. Not that I'm some kind of guru with Natals.

Any (positive) discussion appreciated. Let's talk!

Hi Deepfreeze! I found some info for you.

Literature Review: Meanings of the First 32 Harmonics
•
1st Harmonic:
The 1st harmonic indicates union (Godefrey), From the point of view of harmonics a conjunction (1st harmonic) indicates an overall similarity between the planets, and only has a clear astrological expression if many planets are in the first harmonic. For example, if 5 or more planets are within 16 degrees, the person has a strong, simple, and direct personality and can be an icon or image for a collective movement or a concept. There may be other planets outside this stellium that add more complexity to the personality but there is still this kind of simple icon status that makes the person easily identifiable, and prone to success and have good leadership abilities. Over time however, may become a bit boring or un- inspiring by being very consistent and unswerving in behavior, beliefs, style, and motivation. (Cochrane)
•
2nd Harmonic
The 2nd harmonic indicates polarity, conflict, and consciousness (Godefrey).It inclines towards relating to others because of the polarizing and objectifying tendencies (Cochrane).
•
3rd Harmonic
The 3rd harmonic indicates balance and stability (Godefrey). A transiting trine aspect is as if the planets are on ice and just slide towards their destination, for better or worse (Brady).There is a naturalness and smoothness to the trine aspect (Cochrane).
•
4th Harmonic
The 4th harmonic shows how we deal with stress, strain, and struggle (Marks). It indicates resistance and matter (Godefrey). It Indicates the basic challenges and things the person wishes to achieve, and that the person feels are important to become better at, rectify, or improve.
•
5th Harmonic
The 5th harmonic indicates power and the ability to have power or lordship in some area. It is a kind of art and kind of marriage (but 9th harmonic describes the marriage partner). It also relates to sexual penetration. Saturn and Uranus rule astrology and Saturn in Uranus near 0 degrees of cardinal signs or mutable signs in 5th harmonic chart often occurs in charts of astrologers. (Addey). The 5th harmonic "is connected with the idea of making, arranging, building, con- structing, structuring, forming." (Hamblin, page 48). The 5th harmonic indicates talent (Marks). Creative thinking and original insights are indicated by the 5th and 7th harmonics (Kollerstrom). It is a perfected mental trait (Jay). "Quintiles
have long been known to have higher presence in charts of'creatively active' people. The tredecile, though, is quite rare in most people's charts, yet quite ubiquitous in charts of genius-es" (from Partha in discussion at http://tribes.tribenetwork.com/astrology_of_the_soul/thread/11543e45-3da7-40 35-b093-8c3c5bb9305b). It indicates strength, powers (creative or destructive), the number of humanity (Godefrey). The 5th harmonic indicates playfulness and creativity (Cochrane).
6th Harmonic
The 6th harmonic indicates rhythmic activity, and the prac tice of art (Addey). It indicates polarity and equilibrium, 2x3 and therefore a combination of balance and imbalance such as in walking (Godefrey). The 6th harmonic indicates pleas- ant and easy sharing with others (Cochrane).
•
7th Harmonic
The 7th harmonic is creative, mystical, and religious (Addey). It is "man's highest flights of creative imagination, and of his lowest depths of destructive illusion." (Hamblin, page 65). The 7th harmonic indicates a deep, sensitive inner searching. (Jay). It has to do with inspiration, with what inspires us and how we can inspire others. This is an important ingredient of creativity (Marks).Creative thinking and original insights are indicated by the 5th and 7th harmonics (Kollerstrom). Septiles (spiritual grace/interdimensional awareness) produce a strange aptitude to channel this sense of serendip- ity into situations that are in need of some kind of 'divine intervention'. It is the 'Deus ex Machina' sensation that often intervenes through synchronicity at critical junctures in the manifestation of genius, propelling them into active service of the planetary consciousness. (from Partha in discussion at ]http://tribes.tribenetwork.com/astrology_of_the_soul/[/URL] thread/11543e45-3da7-4035-b093-8c3c5bb9305b). It in- dicates things from beyond and not of the earth, the otherworldly. The 1/7 aspect indicates creative growth at a price, and irrational relationships that also confers the hidden underlying nature and deeper destiny. The 2/7 aspect exter nalizes the qualities of the septile. (Godefrey). On a website I read that in the book "The Astrology of Personality" Dane Rudhyar states that the 7th harmonic indicates fatefulness and probably this is true but in browsing through the book I was unable to confirm this. The 7th harmonic indicates self-control, introversion, an inner-direct and focused attention, and an inclination to be interested in symbols or abstractions (Cochrane).
•
8th Harmonic
The 8th harmonic indicates polarity and resistance, reminiscent of the poles of a magnet. (Godefrey). The 8th harmonic aspects are hard aspects and are motivating. The 1/8 aspect indicates an inner need or drive, and the 3/8 aspect is a bit more openly expressive, not as intensely driven, and more easily achieves its goals.
•
9th Harmonic
The 9th harmonic indicates the marriage partner, or ideal marriage partner. The fruit of one’s labor. Becoming the father or mother of some area of study or development (Addey). It indicates our capacity for joy. happiness, and peace (Hamblin) or how we can be at peace (Bob Marks). It is the completion and the end of a cycle that is destined to occur (Jay). "The 9th Harmonic is the fruit of the tree: it is both the chart of the soul mate and the chart of the soul itself. Additionally, astrologer Addey, father of harmonics, said the 9th also represents some particular life work towards which you are heading, whether we know it or not" (Delphine Jay from ]http://www.aquariusatlanta.com/aug04/harmonic.shtml).[/URL] The 1/9 aspect indicates problems that can be overcome, and the ability to unlock constrictions, and thus be a catalyst of self enhancement (Godefrey). The 9th harmonic seeks acceptance and inclusion in a larger community (Cochrane).
•
10th Harmonic
The 10th harmonic is a small creative aspect, and helps to transmute an idea into a concrete form. It intensifies perspicacity and intuition, and fosters the ability to develop mutual relationships. The 1/10 aspect gives the ability to help others. The 3/10 aspect indicates a need for withdrawal and introspection that is needed to externalize one's original ideas, and also the ability to find unusual ways out of a situation, to have bright insights, to innovate, and is a common aspect among reformers (Godefrey). The 10th harmonic inclines towards playful creative activities with others (Cochrane). The 3/10 aspect inclines towards a refined and sensitive creative ability.
•
11th Harmonic
The 11th harmonic shows pure imagination and fantasy(Marks). "Seymour-Smith says, '11H aspects manifest in a very definite way and they indicate excess.' They also, according to Williamsen, describe a `person's ability to integrate diversities and dualisms.' These interpretations are reconcilable: the tension of `double-bind' situations, which can be external -- where you are trapped by feelings of obligation or duty, but cannot entirely please one or more people -- or internal -- the tug between scepticism and faith -- is likely to lead to a type of stress which in its turn will lead to excess in one form or another."(http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/010557.html). The 1/11 aspect indicates the ability to reach beyond oneself for help and to have a strong social consciousness (Godefrey). The 11th harmonic is unstable, Uranian, and hungry for something new, and is innovative and impatient, and inclined to music and dance. Getting enough sleep and avoiding too many stimulants is important. (Cochrane).
•
12th Harmonic
The 12th harmonic combines soft (3) and hard (4) qualities and represents basic resources available to the person. The only uniquely 12th harmonic aspects are the 1/12 and 5/12 aspect and the 5/12 aspect (quincunx) is generally regarded as creating some discomfort or adjustment that is needed to be made by the two planets. The 1/12 aspect is usually regarded as having a very minor influence.
•
13th Harmonic
The 13th harmonic is the one among the twelve and suggests lordship (Addey). It seems to have a similar effect to the sign of Scorpio. They both relate to death and rebirth, transformation, as well as group resources and values (Marks).

Snap! Want to look into these too.

Sorry I can't contribute anything though as I'm still wrapping my head around the basics.

There was a great thread started by LeeLoo (I think it was her) about 11th harmonics.

It was really interesting and would be interesting for you and Barbiegirl. I'll try and find it and post link.
