(Yahoo Answers) Why are Harmonic Aspects Ignored by Many Astrologers?
| June 8, 2011 | Filled under Astrology, Aspects, Yahoo Answers |
I responded to this question on Yahoo Answers:
How Do You Figure Out if Two Placements are “sextile” Or ” Conjunct” etc..?
If someone has their Moon in 29 degree aquarius and I have my moon in 16 degrees Taurus, does that mean those two are sextiles?? Or do they square cuz its taurus and aquarius?? What about when the degree is ALMOST to the next sign??
My Reply
Conjunction is 0 °
Sextile is 60 °
Square is 90°
Between these signs, there are 77° . There would be a 17° orb sextile, if that’s what it was, and most astrologers consider this too wide of an orb. I go as wide as 10° and that’s quite wide for many astrologers.
How do you know how wide to go? Trial, error, experience, or a professional consultation with an open-minded astrologer… ;-P
To get an aspect going here, lets look at harmonic aspects. The closest matches for your Moons are Tresemiseptile (77.142858°), Squile (75°), Quintile (72°), or a Binovile (80°).
Most astrologers don’t accept more than a 1-3° orb for the harmonic aspects and you are quite possibly ‘exact’ or close enough to having a Tresemiseptile between your Moons. I wouldn’t know that 100% unless I saw your charts and had the time to look at it more closely (pro bono).
I would say the energy you feel is like a square AND a sextile given the harmonic aspects above so it’s kind of cool that you added that into your question.
0° and 29° are considered special.
To me, the 29° Moon can behave like Aqua or Pisces. Aqua is cool, detached, and aloof and Pisces is emotional, sensitive, and attached. It’s quite the see-saw effect that Pisces already experiences in their moods as it is…
And what I will ‘also’ say is that the two of you probably have quite the spiritual and soulful, out-of-ordinary emotional and possibly ‘unexplainable’ connection… 🙂 Will it be / is it easy? No. But will it / is it meaningful? Yes!
Hope that helps…
