A workshop with Andrew Morton
Harmonic Astrology: Beyond the Naked Eye
An integrated approach to aspects and aspect patterns in Natal Chart interpretation, using an extended aspect set combining the Ptolemaic with the ‘minor’ aspects, reveals a hitherto hidden world contained within; more complex, more comprehensive.
The Ptolemaic aspects that we are most familiar with (sextile 60°, square 90°, trine 120°and opposition 180°, plus the conjunction 0°), are themselves derived from the ability to fairly straightforwardly measure the angular relationships between visible planets and points in the heavens through often rudimentary astronomical techniques, such that our ancestors employed.
As the outer planets and others become an increasingly integral part of modern-day astrological interpretation, and as we ourselves move further beyond the principles of “seeing is believing”, it makes sense to open the horoscope, and indeed ourselves, to an extended exploration of the angular relationships contained within, to go beyond the rationale of our naked eyes.
To integrate those aspects that are less readily visible, such as the Quintile, Septile, Semi-Square, Novile and so on, with the classical visible aspects of our inheritance, enables a more complete perspective on what is enshrined in a chart. What innate truths, inner motivations, talents and potentials might be lying there?
We explore the angular relationships between the bodies of the solar system, both seen and unseen, through the integrated use of both conventional and “Harmonic” techniques to provide an illuminating “Harmonic Astrology” approach to the interpretation of Natal Charts.
We also discover how revealing these can be in the partnering of one person with another, in uncovering the compelling undercurrents in relationships and interactions between people. And by applying this “Harmonic Astrology” approach to Synastry, alongside the more usual techniques, unrecognised but essential depths and nuances are brought into the light of understanding.
