Age Harmonics are based on taking the locations of the
planets/points at birth and multiplying them by the factor of your
age. As these factors change rapidly with minor adjustments of the
birthtime, a very precise birthtime is needed to get reliable
information from this technique.
This technique is mainly employed in one of two ways.
•
For a specific time-period, the exact age at that time is used as
the harmonic factor. (to be multiplied by the natal positions)
•
For looking at years, we use the exact harmonic for that year and
treat that chart as the “year’s chart.”
Here, the allowable orb needs to be about 1° or so. (though I tend to
stretch it to 1° 21’ of arc, my normal transit orb)
It is to be noted that the age harmonic chart produces a valid chart
for events, both in and of itself (in terms of normal understanding of
factors), as well as in aspect to natal factors.
Note that (for instance) a 0° 15’ error in the Midheaven (1 minute
error of time), will result in a 7° 30’ error by the time one is 30 years
old! Since we are only considering around 1° aspects, one can see
that obviously the system breaks, unless that birthtime is very
tightly-defined. (meaning seconds, not minutes)
