The Determination of Expected Harmonic Aspect Frerquencies

Author: Hawley, Kevin
Abstract: Theoretically expected frequencies for specific harmonic aspects were calculated. The values show a strong tendency to lie on an apparently smooth curve. Attempts at deriving a linear relationship between harmonic number and expected aspect frequency allowed derivation of a formula involving two constants and the natural logarithm of the harmonic number. Results when using the formula in deriving expected harmonic aspect frequencies are in very good agreement with previously published empirically derived studies when the harmonic number is greater than seven. Derived harmonic aspects frequencies when the harmonic number is less than seven show considerable deviation from theoretical values due to the effect of “Solar clustering”. A short computer program allows workers a rapid check on whether observed values differ significantly.
