crimsoncurrentHaving noticed, say, that Churchill has the Sun one
seventh part of the circle away from Mars and that this has
a certain appropriateness based on the symbolism of the num
ber seven, he may ask himself if there is not some significance
in the fact that Churchill also had Pluto at 21’20’ of Taurus,
almost exactly one-seventh of the ecliptic circle from 0° Aries.
Having noticed that the number five is connected with power
and authority he may wonder if President Ford’s radical Sa
turn at 13° Gemini, almost a fifth of the zodiacal circle from
IP Aries, is not a pointer to the position of authority to which
he was raised, especially when it is noticed that the harmonic
chart for his 60th year (see Fig. 73) shows Saturn once more
in this identical position with an exact trine from the Sun.
In these and many other ways the doctrine of harmonics
has the effect of unifying and enlarging our understanding
through the analogies it reveals between the different facets of
astrological symbolism. Of course these analogies are already
recognised by the thoughtful astrologer, but a fuller exploration
of the harmonic idea has the effect of bringing them into
sharper focus.
Our purpose in this chapter is to pursue a little further
the idea of divisions of the circle in terms of aspects. In doing
this we shall not repeat all that was said about the symbolism
of those numbers already discussed in the preceding three
chapters, but those who are interested in gaining a deeper
understanding of such aspects as the quintile, septile and no
vile can re-read at their leisure what has been said about the
5th, 7th and 9th harmonic charts fully assured that these
accounts wrill illuminate the nature of the corresponding aspects.
We mentioned that the number five was symbolic of the
power both to create and to destroy (mentioning the charts of
Mozart and Hitler as examples of each kind of action), so
there is no need to labour the fact that the quintile, biquintile
semiquintile and sesquiquintile aspects are frequently impor
tant features of the charts of those who enjoy the feeling of
power in some form or other (such as racing drivers, dictators,
etc.) or seek power (such as revolutionaries) or exercise power
or leadership (such as statesmen or others in authority) or lust
