The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

A chart derived by multiplying planetary angles to reveal recurring numerical relationships.

Detailed Definition
The harmonic chart can inspire poems about resonance, recurrence, and the hidden mathematics of feeling. It treats an ordinary arrangement as capable of yielding further patterns, much as a refrain reveals new meaning each time it returns. In literary use, harmony need not mean peace; dissonance may be the pattern that binds a life together. The concept invites a poet to listen for structure beneath accident, where number becomes rhythm and rhythm becomes fate.
Example
Example in poetry:
A poet can use a harmonic chart to imagine hidden relationships between planets, treating repeated angles as a musical pattern; “Her harmonic chart” might describe a life whose separate events seem to resolve into one chord; In a poem about family inheritance, the chart can symbolize echoes passed from one generation to another; The term allows astrology and music to meet in an image of recurring celestial proportion.
Additional Notes
A harmonic chart transforms angular relationships by multiplying them, helping astrologers study repeated patterns such as trines, squares, or smaller divisions of the zodiac. The second harmonic highlights oppositions, while the third emphasizes trines. It is best understood as a specialized interpretive technique, not a separate sky chart.
