Subject F Daily Age Harmonics

The harmonic chart of Subject F is somewhat unusual. The Moon square to Mars was the only aspect between planets that measured less than one degree. At just six minutes of orb, it was the closest. The Moon, which ruled the Nadir, occupied the 8^th house of lotteries, and Mars, the chart ruler and co-ruler off the 8^th house of lotteries, occupied the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks. The Moon also sextiled Saturn, ruler and occupant of the 10^th house of public acknowledgment.

Venus ruled the 2^nd house of money and conjuncted the floating Midheaven, which directs public attention to a particular area of one’s life, or makes important alterations to that area. In this case, the 4^th house of home, family and domestic matters held the duo. If the birth time is off by only a few minutes, the floating Midheaven can end up “in the wrong place,” or there might be extenuating circumstances, as there were for the previous Subject E. Sometimes the position makes more sense when we see it compared to the natal chart, or see the transits to the harmonic. The floating Midheaven in this case was one minute shy of 28 Cancer, and Venus was just four minutes shy of 00 Leo, which trined the Moon—again, ruler of the 4^th house in the 8^th house of lotteries. This harmonic chart had a majority of planets and points in cardinal signs and water elements, which gave it a Cancer signature, so we should be sensing a trend. Let’s be patient, and wait to see what we learn.

The Sun ruled the 5^th house of risks and gambles. It sextiled Transpluto of payoffs in the 2^nd house of money.

The 8^th house of lotteries had Scorpio on the cusp, and therefore, two rulers. We’ve already delineated Mars because it was also the Ascendant ruler. Pluto, the primary ruler of Scorpio, trined the Ascendant and South Node of reaping karma, and opposed Transpluto of payoffs. It also sextiled Mercury at the Descendant, but Mercury neither ruled nor occupied a winning house.

Saturn, ruler of the static Midheaven, conjuncted the Prenatal Solar Eclipse at 4 Aquarius 33. In mutual reception with Uranus, Saturn was at the crux of a T-square consisting of the Vertex date with destiny and Neptune. Saturn in square with Neptune is an aspect that can make us feel like the sands of stability are shifting under our feet. However, in this chart, as in other winning charts, Neptune ruled the 12^th house of other realms, and the Sun, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, occupied it. Maybe he, too, had a hunch to buy a ticket then, but that’s just an educated guess; wish we could ask him. Saturn made one final aspect: a trine to the East Point, which attracts public attention or captures the imagination of the public.

Uranus, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks:

• Sextiled Mars, the chart ruler and co-ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries in the 11^th house;
• Trined Neptune;
• Sextiled the Vertex date with destiny.

The harmonic Part of Fortune made no helpful aspects in the Daily Age Harmonic. Its only close aspects were inconjuncts requiring compromise or adjustment to the floating Midheaven and Venus, ruler of the 2^nd house of money in the 4^th house of home and family. Maybe he, too, was saved from foreclosure on his house by a timely win.

The North Node was no help, but Transpluto of payoffs trined Mercury at the Descendant. Mercury only ruled the 3^rd house of communication, transportation, siblings, neighbors, and immediate environment, and 6^th house of employment and health, so maybe those matters were somehow involved in or affected by the win. Again, we have no way of knowing. Mercury, however, was a strong planet, being conjunct an angle.

This was not a very satisfying delineation, so let’s see what else happened.

There’s a lot to tackle in the comparison of the Daily Age Harmonic to the natal chart of Subject F. For the sake of consistency, we’ll begin with Mercury, the chart ruler. Harmonic Mercury, which we recall conjuncted the harmonic Descendant, and was of little help there, occupied the natal 5^th house of risk and gambles where its only close aspect was a sextile to natal Jupiter, which neither ruled nor occupied a winning house. However, in an aspect of reciprocity, harmonic Jupiter conjuncted natal Mercury in the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks.

The harmonic chart seemed to have a lunar theme, and here, we are reminded that the Moon ruled the natal 2^nd house of money for Subject F.

• The harmonic Moon conjuncted its own natal position. Any winning planet (as defined in the introduction) that returns to its own place in nearly any combination of charts contributes to a win.
• In this case, the harmonic Moon is a bit past the trine to natal Venus, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, but not so far that it’s out of orb.
• In addition, the Moon opposed natal Uranus, planet of surprises, shocks and sudden changes, ruler of the natal Midheaven.
• Also still within orb of aspect, the Moon trined natal Transpluto in the 2^nd house of money.
• The Moon trined / sextiled the nodal axis in the 2^nd and 8^th money houses.
• It also trined natal Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation, which was only a hair over the 2^nd house cusp.
• It made a wide square to natal Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and crowning achievements.
• And finally, it made a sextile to natal Neptune, co-ruler of the natal Midheaven, where Pisces was intercepted.

Venus ruled the 5^th house of risks and gambles. Harmonic Venus conjuncted the floating Midheaven, where we recall that it was only four minutes shy of 00 Leo.

• In the natal chart, harmonic Venus conjuncted Transpluto of payoffs, and the North Node in the 2nd house of money.
• Sextiled Neptune, co-ruler of the Midheaven.
• Trined its own natal position in the 10^th house of public acknowledgment.
• Sextiled the East Point to attract public attention or capture the imagination.
• Sextiled Uranus, primary ruler of the natal Midheaven, planet of sudden changes.

Saturn ruled the natal 8^th house of lotteries. Transiting Saturn was 3⁰ 12’ from the natal South Node, so was still in conjunction, and also conjuncted the natal Part of Fortune. However, the square to Mercury, chart ruler, was a bit wide at 5⁰ 46’. We may consider it, but not count on it. The trine to Uranus, ruler of the Midheaven, was spot-on, as was the opposition to Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation. Saturn sextiled the natal Moon, ruler of the 2^nd house of money. There was a configuration that we may want to consider: Saturn inconjuncted natal Mars, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists, and also natal Chiron of triumphant ascendancy, which sextiled each other, forming a yod, although the orbs of aspect weren’t perfect.

Uranus, ruler of the Midheaven, opposed natal Mars, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks, and trined natal Chiron of triumphant ascendancy and once-in-a-lifetime events.

Mars ruled the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks. Harmonic Mars:

• Squared natal Uranus, ruler of the natal Midheaven.
• Trined its own natal position.
• Opposed natal Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and crowning achievements.
• Squared the natal Moon, ruler of the 2^nd house of money.

The harmonic South Node:

• Conjuncted the natal Sun in the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks.
• Sextiled Saturn, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries.
• Trined natal Jupiter.

The harmonic North Node squared natal Venus, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, and squared natal Neptune, co-ruler of the natal Midheaven.

The harmonic Part of Fortune was angular at the Descendant, and sextiled / trined the natal Midheaven / Nadir axis.

The natal Vertex date with destiny:

• Squared the natal Part of Fortune.
• Trined natal Mars, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks.
• Squared natal Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation.
• Sextiled natal Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and rewards.

Oddly, harmonic Chiron made no close aspects in the natal chart, and harmonic Transpluto’s only aspect was a sextile to natal Jupiter.

Let’s compare the winning transits around the Daily Age Harmonic chart for Subject F. All four angles were well covered, so we’ll begin there.

The transiting Midheaven, which moves as quickly as the transiting Ascendant, can also be used as a timer. Here it directed the public’s awareness to the individual identified by the Ascendant, in this case, Subject F. It conjuncted the harmonic South Node, our karmic friend, trined harmonic Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries, and sextiled harmonic Transpluto of payoffs. It also opposed harmonic Mercury, whose role in this win is still a mystery.

At the Midheaven (and Nadir) the Moon’s Nodes indicated a turning point or marked a milestone. They sextiled / trined the harmonic Neptune / Jupiter conjunction in the 1^st house of identity. Jupiter didn’t rule a winning house, which sometimes happens, but its role in lottery astrology is always clear: it expands everything it aspects, and brings good fortune. Harmonic Neptune’s role is less clear in the charts of Subject F because it ruled only the 12^th house. If we translate astrological sentences to English, the conjunction of these two might say, “I can’t believe (Neptune) my good luck (Jupiter)! Is this real (Neptune)?” Or it may have inspired Subject F to buy a lottery ticket in the first place.

Also at the Midheaven were transiting Neptune and transiting Uranus, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and changes in fortune, which brought surprises, shocks and sudden changes to his path in life and the way others would see him. Both trined harmonic Jupiter on the cusp of the 2^nd house, although Uranus aspected it with a tighter orb. Both also squared that pesky little Mercury that was angular at the Descendant, where Neptune’s aspect had a tighter orb.

Transiting Venus, ruler of the 2^nd house of money, opposed the Ascendant and conjuncted the Descendant. It squared harmonic Uranus, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and changes in fortune, and trined Saturn, ruler of the static Midheaven.

Mars ruled the Ascendant and co-ruled the 8^th house of lotteries. Transiting Mars conjuncted its co-ruler, Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation, in the 8^th house. Together, they trined the harmonic Sun, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, while the transiting Moon ticked it off like the second hand on a watch. Mars and Pluto also opposed Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and rewards, in the 2^nd house of money. Also occupying the 8^th house was the transiting Sun, which made the same aspects as Mars and Pluto, but because it was a few degrees ahead of them, the Sun also trined the floating Midheaven and harmonic Venus, ruler of the 2^nd house of money.

Transiting Jupiter trined harmonic Neptune as well as its own harmonic position at the cusp of the 2^nd house of money. It also squared the harmonic East Point, which attracts public attention or captures the imagination of the public, and squared Transpluto of payoffs.

Now let’s sweep the children off the streets.

The transiting Part of Fortune trined the harmonic Moon in the 8^th house of lotteries and squared harmonic Uranus, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks. It was a little past the harmonic North Node.

The transiting Vertex date with destiny, traveling with transiting Mercury:

• Conjuncted harmonic Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation.
• Trined the harmonic South Node of karma.
• Opposed harmonic Chiron of triumphant ascendancy and crowning achievements.
• Sextiled harmonic Mercury.

Transiting Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and once-in-a-lifetime events, squared harmonic Neptune, sextiled the harmonic East Point, and squared the harmonic Vertex date with destiny.

Transiting Transpluto of payoffs trined the harmonic Part of Fortune and squared harmonic Chiron in the 2^nd house of money.

The transiting South Node of karma, and the East Point, which attracts public attention or captures its imagination, conjuncted the harmonic Nadir, which once again gave emphasis to home and family. Both squared the harmonic Ascendant / Descendant axis, including Mercury, and sextiled harmonic Jupiter.

The transiting Midheaven conjuncted the harmonic Ascendant, and the transiting Ascendant was separating from a conjunction with harmonic Venus, ruler of the 2^nd house of money.

Are we in agreement that the aspects between these two charts seem off? In the next comparison, see what happens to the Daily Age Harmonic when the natal birth time is adjusted by a mere two minutes.

Here the winning transits surround the Daily Age Harmonic of Subject F, which was cast with an adjustment of two minutes to the natal birth time. Two minutes barely makes a difference in any of his other charts—natal, progressed, directed, tertiary, solar or lunar returns, new Moons, nor eclipses. Go back and see them for yourself. The natal Ascendant remains at 23 Gemini, and the adjustment adds only 39 minutes to it. The natal Midheaven, however, increases from 27 Aquarius 43 to 28 Aquarius 14, a difference of 31 minutes. The intercepted signs in the 10^th and 4^th houses remain. The only noticeable change is that natal Pluto moves from six minutes over the 3^rd house cusp in the original chart, back into the 2^nd house by 24 minutes in the adjusted chart. Now let’s begin again. Remember we’re working with the adjusted Daily Age Harmonic with the winning transits, not the natal.

The previous harmonic chart had 12 Aries 47 on the Ascendant, and of course, every house of equal size. The adjusted Daily Age Harmonic has 05 Taurus 54 on the Ascendant with equal houses. That makes Venus the chart ruler. Transiting Venus still squares harmonic Uranus, which now rules the Midheaven, and it still trines harmonic Saturn, which conjuncts the Midheaven. It still inconjuncts harmonic Neptune, but the difference is that Neptune now has a purpose. It conjuncts the Ascendant and rules the 11^th house of plot twists.

Pesky little harmonic Mercury conjuncted the Descendant in the previous harmonic chart and received a large number of aspects but wasn’t a winning planet in any way. In the new chart Mercury rules the 2^nd house of money and the 5^th house of risks and gambles. It still receives the same aspects from the transiting planets – a square from the East Point, an opposition from the Midheaven, a sextile from its own transiting position in conjunction with the Vertex, a trine from Uranus, but most importantly, now when transiting Neptune trines it by only seven minutes, it means something because Mercury rules two winning houses, and Neptune now rules the 11^th house, not the 12^th! Transiting Mercury and the Vertex still conjunct harmonic Pluto, but now Pluto is in the 8^th house, not the 9^th. They still trine the harmonic South Node, which did move up into the 12^th house, but now when they oppose harmonic Transpluto, it’s in the 2^nd house of money, not the 3^rd.

In the previous chart, transiting Jupiter trined harmonic Neptune, and its own harmonic position at the cusp of the 2^nd house. It also squared the East Point and Transpluto of payoffs. In the adjusted chart, it still trines Neptune, as well as its own harmonic position—but the difference is Neptune is now ruler of the 11^th house, and Jupiter now rules the 8^th. It still squares Transpluto, which has moved from the 3^rd house to the 2^nd, but the harmonic East Point has moved, and now conjuncts the harmonic North Node.

In the previous chart, Uranus ruled the 11^th house, and that was fine. Now it rules the static Midheaven, and that’s fine, too. Transiting Uranus conjuncted the static Midheaven, Neptune and the North Node, trined harmonic Jupiter and squared harmonic Mercury in the previous chart. All of that was great. It still makes all of those aspects in the adjusted harmonic—except the conjunction to the Midheaven—but now Uranus rules the static Midheaven, Neptune rules the 11^th house, Mercury rules the 2^nd and 5^th houses, and Jupiter rules the 8^th.

In the previous chart, Neptune conjuncted the static Midheaven, trined harmonic Jupiter, squared the harmonic South Node and Mercury, and inconjuncted harmonic Transpluto. It continues to make all those aspects except the conjunction to the static Midheaven, but now, Jupiter rules the 8^th house, and Mercury rules the 2^nd and 5^th houses.

In the previous chart, the transiting Moon’s Nodes trined harmonic Neptune and Jupiter, and they still do, but now Neptune and Jupiter rule winning houses.

Now let’s take another look at the children on the streets.

Previously, the transiting Part of Fortune trined the harmonic Moon in the 8^th house and squared the harmonic North Node in the 3^rd house. It still trines the harmonic Moon, but the Moon is now at the cusp of the 8^th house. The Part of Fortune still squares the harmonic North Node, but the Node is now conjunct the harmonic East Point. The Part of Fortune may also trine harmonic Venus, which has moved out of Cancer and is one minute into Leo. The aspect a little past exact.

Previously, the transiting Vertex date with destiny conjuncted harmonic Pluto and trined the harmonic South Node. It still does, only now Pluto is in the 8^th house of lotteries. The harmonic Vertex has moved all the way to 24 Scorpio where it receives conjunctions from transiting Mars, Pluto and the Sun. The transiting Moon trines it and transiting Transpluto squares it.

In the other chart, transiting Chiron squared the harmonic conjunction of Neptune and Jupiter, and the Vertex date with destiny. It still squares Neptune and Jupiter, which now rule winning houses, but the harmonic Vertex has moved.

Transiting Transpluto conjuncts the floating Midheaven—which moved from one minute shy of 28 Cancer 22, to 22 Leo 50—with an orb of seven minutes. Transpluto also squares the harmonic opposition of Chiron and the Vertex.

The transiting East Point still sextiles harmonic Jupiter and squares harmonic Mercury, but now they rule three of the winning houses—2, 5 and 8.

The transiting Midheaven still trines harmonic Pluto, now in the 8^th house, conjuncts the harmonic South Node, sextiles harmonic Transpluto, now in the 2^nd house, and opposes harmonic Mercury, now the ruler of the 2^nd house of money and 5^th house of risks and gambles.

The transiting Ascendant conjuncted harmonic Venus, the chart ruler.

If all the other charts indicate a win, but the Daily Age Harmonic seems a little off, adjust the natal birth time by a minute or two and try again. It’s easy to see how even one or two minutes can make a huge difference. Charts that are right have a flow to them.

Here's some bonus material for you. The first chart below is Subject F's 47th Harmonic Chart, representing his 47th year of life, the year he won.

While Harding and Harvey (1) wrote that the 5th harmonic represents knowledge and skill, I still feel that it represents matters related to the 5th house, including risks and gambles. Below is Subject  F's 5th Harmonic Chart, with the 5th Harmonic of the Winning Transits surrounding it.
