Is it a less intense square? Would it be considered a hard aspect? I've read somewhere it's pretty minor.

Thoughts?

Of the minor aspects it`s those two aspects, semisquare and sesisquare, that I pay the most attention to (and quinkunx, but I am not sure this can really be counted a minor aspect).

the 8th harmonic aspects actually come up in the lunar cycle as well. We all know about the New Moon (conjunction), full moon (opposition), and quarter Moons (square), however there is an 8 parts lunar cycle, which also contains the Gibbuous Moon and the crescent Moon. Of course these are phases and contain more than just one aspect, but like the New Moon STARTS at the conjunction and the fullmoon at the opposition and the quarter moons at the squares, at the START of crescent and gibbuous Moon are the SEMISQUARE and the SESISQUARE.


In terms of a natal or even synastric chart I pay most attention them if they are part of an aspectconfiguration with a square as basis, and hence resulting into a midpoint picture.

Example:
Sun 10 LIbra square Moon 10 Capricorn
Saturn 25 Scorpio or 25 Taurus

Saturn would be either on the near or the far midpoint of Sun and Moon and semisquare or sesisquare to both.
In this case it would be the focal point, a burning glass where the tension of the square would very clearly manifest.


and there would be of course an energy-system consisting of Sun, Moon and Saturn, and all of them being triggered simultaneously (through transits for example).


As for isolated semisquares and sesisquares, they probably have their value, too, though might be a little more subtle in effect. But I wouldn´t underestimate them either.


They are action-oriented aspects though and urge to you to do something, become active, resolve the tensions that might be there, in the semisquare and sesisquare those tensions might be not as much "in your face" as with the square, but nevertheless they are there. They are more quietly, but constantly nagging you to to do something, triggering those qualities in you that are represented by the planets in semisquare or sesisquare. And yes resolution is possible, but you have to put conscious effort in them.

They are aspects of intensity.
