A WOMAN IN PASTEL COLORS
CARRYING A HEAVY AND VALUABLE
BUT VEILED LOAD
Commentary: ‘A Woman in Pastel Colors Carrying a Heavy
and Valuable But Veiled Load’ shows someone having to carry,
shoulder or put up with something that is weighing them down.
Although the ‘Load’ may not be comfortable, there is some kind
of perceived reason or reward for hanging onto it. Often in trying
to conceal problems or issues from others, things become more
of a burden. The fact that she’s dressed in ‘Pastel Colors’ reveals
that the ‘Woman’ is a person who doesn’t necessarily want to put
on a dramatic show or draw attention to herself.
Enjoying all that one has in life
right now can lift the spirits and release any burdens. To varying
degrees everyone is carrying some sort of ‘Heavy Load’ which
they try to conceal. Going through the day expressing kindness
and courtesy will leave behind a feeling of warmth and good
cheer for others. Positive attitudes and behavior helps to lighten
the ‘Load’ of everyone struggling with their burdens.

Keywords: Privacy. Quiet determination to get on with the
job. Mild manners. Carrying more than one’s share, gratefully
or grudgingly. Shouldering problems. Bad backs. Victim status
– poor me! Secret pregnancies. Doing overtime. Heavy loads.

The Caution: Covering something up. Trying to conceal distrust.
Keeping one’s thoughts and emotions locked-in creating ill
health and disease. Fading into the background. Not being
noticed or recognized. Feeling weighed down with shame, loss
or humiliation. Wearing dark clothes. Dressing in order to cover
up. Being the family scapegoat. Heavy karma.

Extremely Important Info

The three major points in the birth chart which are the Midheaven (MC), the north node, and the vertex point had aided in determining what make each individual unique in their pursuit of fatality. They have been central in our studies of individual karmic destiny for years. However, as has been mentioned before, a partial or a surface understanding of karmic destiny derived from these points has left both inquirers and astrologers questioning more and seeking answers by establishing a holistic picture in the natal chart by connecting these points to planets, understanding the degrees and the signs and the house they are positioned in, and so forth. As a practitioner of the harmonic astrology and an intuitively guided astrologer, I embarked on a research in the attempt to validate harmonic charts’ importance in astrology and whether they are able to give a clearer picture of the karmic points.

The method:

In the study, the two vital harmonic charts are used and those are the twelfth harmonic (12th) and the numerological harmonic (the number of the day of birth). What is taken into consideration are the Sabian symbols of the Karmic points (MC, North node, and Vertex) and the interpretation given to these symbols and conducting a parallel comparison and observation to the case study life to check whether the symbols manifest or not, and therefore confirm a validity to the hypothesis.

The Midheaven in Astrology considers to be one of the four axis which manifest daily in our life. The importance of the Midheaven lies in actualizing one’s power and potential and acquiring a social status. The Midheaven represents the uprootedness from ancestral karma (the 4th house) and moving towards individual karma and realization of one’s destiny in the world-who we are remembered as when we die?- The North Node on the other hand deals with the thematic occurrence in one’s life. It deals with karmic duties the individual needs to cater for in order to manifest fulfillment. The North Node represents our life theme and the path we walking towards, and in this it has been vital to determine what the individual must manifest in order to attain happiness. The recent karmic point considers to be the Vertex which appears to be ambiguous to some since intensive research has not been carried on to investigate the meaning of the Vertex. However, there is a still great karmic layers to this point which shall be explored in the case study.

When conducting a reading, one reading two elements appears to be disregarded or go unnoticeably by astrologers which are the degrees and the Sabian symbols. Degrees exist not in vain but they entail powerful karmic events and encounters when they are activated. In the Harmonics,

The Vertex in Astrological Chart Rectification

What Is the Vertex?

In astrology, the Vertex (often abbreviated as Vx) is a sensitive, calculated point in the natal chart representing the intersection of the prime vertical (a great circle passing through the zenith and nadir) and the ecliptic (the Sun's apparent path). It's located in the western hemisphere, typically in the 5th–8th houses, and is positioned opposite the Anti-Vertex (AVx). Often called the "point of fate," "destiny point," or "third angle" (auxiliary to the Ascendant and Descendant), it symbolizes karmic encounters, fated events, and turning points beyond personal control—think sudden meetings, profound relationships, or life-altering synchronicities.

Unlike planets, it's not a physical body but a mathematical derivative, highly sensitive to exact birth time and location, making it invaluable for chart rectification.General Significance


The Vertex acts as a "cosmic trigger," activated by transits, progressions, or synastry (chart comparisons) to highlight destined experiences. Conjunctions or aspects to it (e.g., Vertex conjunct someone's Sun) often signal soul contracts or magnetic attractions, emphasizing themes of surrender to higher forces rather than free will.

In mundane or relocation astrology, it can indicate geographic "fate lines."Role in Chart RectificationChart rectification is the detective work of estimating or refining an unknown/approximate birth time to align house cusps, angles, and points like the Vertex with life events. Since the Vertex's position shifts dramatically with even minutes of birth time (up to 1–2° per 4 minutes), it's a precision tool for validation.

How It's Used:Event Mapping: List major "fated" life events (e.g., marriage, career pivot, accident) with exact dates/times. Test birth times so transits or progressions (e.g., Jupiter transiting Vertex) conjunct the Vertex during those moments, confirming karmic alignment.

Angle Synchronization: Alongside Ascendant/Midheaven (MC), the Vertex helps "triangulate" the chart. For instance, if a solar arc Vertex hits the natal Descendant during a pivotal relationship, it narrows the time window.
Software Iteration: Tools like Solar Fire or Astro.com allow sliding birth times and overlaying event charts. The Vertex's sensitivity (more than the MC) refines to within 5–10 minutes.

Qualitative Checks: Rectified Vertex should resonate with personal narrative—e.g., in Libra, emphasizing relational fate; in Scorpio, transformative crises.

Without rectification, the Vertex is unreliable, as it's birth-time dependent.

ExampleSuppose someone born ~noon on January 1, 1990, recalls a "fated" marriage on July 15, 2010. Testing times:At 11:45 AM birth: Transiting Venus conjuncts Vertex at 12° Libra—aligns with partnership theme.
At 12:15 PM: It misses, landing on MC instead.
Rectification favors 11:45 AM, as the Vertex hit evokes destined union. Progressed Moon to Vertex might confirm emotional triggers around then.

In essence, the Vertex turns rectification into a karmic puzzle, revealing how fate weaves through timing. For personal use, consult a professional rectifier—it's both art and science!

Progressed Chart

What should you pay attention to in a progressed chart?
The first thing you'll want to pay attention to with the progressed chart is any planets or houses moving into new signs. This signifies a shift in whatever that planet or house rules, and there can be a shift in your life as a result.

Next, you'll want to assess any progressed planet or house cusps that are anaretic, which is 29 degrees of any sign. This means they're gearing up to move into new signs, and 29 degrees in the progressed chart is potent energy that drives you to take action before the point moves into a new sign.

You'll also want to focus on any planets turning retrograde or direct. This can signal an important period in your life where major developments will occur, and you can experience many changes in your life or as a person.

And then you'll want to also see when progressed planets move into new natal or progressed houses, natal planets move into new progressed houses, or any parts of your progressed chart aspects your natal chart.
Which positions are important in a progressed chart?
In general, your progressed Sun, Moon, and Rising are important, just like in your natal chart, and your progressed Sun can reflect who you're growing into overall, your progressed Moon can show your emotional maturation and focus, and your progressed Rising can show how your outer self evolves.

​When the Sun and Rising change signs or are anaretic, this can be significant in terms of impacting your personality. The progressed Moon moves quickly (spending about 2 1/2 years in one sign), so the changing signs of the progressed Moon can reflect your emotional focus during this period.

The progressed personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) can show how you shift in personal ways. When they're anaretic or in new signs, this can be felt deeply and personally.

If Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto are anaretic or change signs in the progressed chart, this can be quite significant, and show a period where there is major change, upheaval, developments, growth. They move much slower than the personal planets, so most people don't experience them anaretic or moving into new signs, which makes it significant when they do.

The progressed angles (Ascendant, Imum Coeli, Descendant, Midheaven) can show how the pillars of your life shift over time, with the progressed Ascendant-Descendant reflecting how you connect evolving, and the progressed Imum Coeli-Midheaven reflecting how the foundation of your life evolves.
