Quality of number 10, transition points where something suddenly transforms into something else

This are the astrological aspects based on number 10:

  • decile, 36º
  • (tri)decile, 108º

The decile aspect (harmonic 10) belongs to the family of cultural self-organization aspects (harmonic 5), which derive from the division of the circle (360º) by the number 5.

To understand better its meaning, the number 10 can be decomposed into 5 * 2, because it shows thecombination of the cultural self-organization of  number 5 (quintile), with the division and polarity of the number 2 (opposition).

According to Edgar Cayce, the number 10 represents 'the strength of the small number', referring to what is now known as the 'butterfly effect', a name coined by Edward Lorenz, which derives from the theoretical example in which the formation of a hurricane being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier.


The nonlinear quality of the number 10 is typical of chaotic systems that have evolved towards the bifurcation point, in which apparently insignificant events acquire a decisive influence, while others apparently of great magnitude pass entirely unnoticed, according to their quality with respect to the nature of the bifurcation point.


The decile is related with the transition points towards new directions, in which something suddenly transforms into something else, such as when the water changes state and becomes ice or steam.

The scattered disc objects 2006 QH181 and 2007 OR10 are in 3:10 resonance with the planet Neptune.
