Harmonics have always been considered of great importance in Vedic astrology. For example,
the ninth harmonic chart, the Navaunsh Varg: (some people write it as "Navamsa"), is very
significant in relation to the Moon. This chart is always kept alongside the main Rashi chart
when an interpretive report is being written. One derives from it the latent factors operative
throughout a person's own and married life.
Ancient sage-scientists determined the relationships between planetary `harmonics' and human
affairs and their causative factors. Practitioners of traditional astrology draw from these
empirical data, available in the form of Sanskrit verses, in service to their clients.
The modern urge to satisfy the curiosity about the how's and why's of natural laws is often
considered a necessity by some. To them, a science is a science only if it can gain entrance
through their self-defined gates of intellect. This is one of the chief limiting factors responsible
for the current disasters modern science has wrought on mankind, creating more problems than it
attempts to solve.
Dr. Percy Seymour, a professor of astronomy in Plymouth, U.K. has his own way of explaining
why `harmonics' work. According to him, the Navaunsh chart of Vedic astrology works, for
instance, because of the magnetic field of the Moon. Basically, the magnetic field of Earth is
reflecting how the planets are moving around the Sun and even how the Earth is moving around
the Sun. So, Earth's magnetic field is resonating. Added to this, as the Moon goes around the
Earth it affects the tides not only in the ocean but also in the magnetosphere. These have higherorder harmonics and Dr. Seymour's idea of all these tunes being played by the planets on the
magnetic field of the Earth naturally gives rise to harmonics.
Percy Seymour then attempts to establish a connection between our electric-current based
nervous system and the harmonic fluctuations in the geomagnetic field. So, the complex tunes
played by the planets in our magnetic environment affect each one of us in a unique manner -- as
if we don't always listen to the whole symphony but only respond to certain melodies. According
to Seymour, the way we listen to the selected portions depends on our genetic peculiarities which
are themselves related to the harmonics created by the planetary orchestra. Hence, predictions of
how we may respond to future planetary positions are possible.
These Varg:, or charts, have been continuously used in Vedic astrology for millennia. The list
contains the most commonly used ones of all with a brief note about their application:
