Quality of number 12, development of complex skills from simple stages

This are the astrological aspects based on the number 12:
  • semisextile, 30º 
  • quincuncux, 150º

The semisextile aspect (harmonic 12) belongs to the family of talent aspects, which derive from the division of the circle (360º) by the number 3, as the trine (harmonic 3) and the sextile (harmonic 6).

By decomposing the number 12 into 3 * 4 its meaning can be better understood, because it shows the combination of the ability to automate actions of the number 3 (trine) with the ability to build structures, step by step, of the number 4 (square).

The semisextile aspect is related with the development of complex skills from the integration of simple stages, previously separately developed. For example, when learning to swim, at first only legs are moved, practising while keeping arms firm and well forward; then, without moving the legs, only one arm is moved (and then the other) with the support of a board; and finally the previous stages are integrated, synchronizing breathing and head movement.


The semisextile aspect adds a layer of sophistication to the personality, visible when it expresses emotions in a complex way through a great variety of facial gestures that alternate, very quickly in some moments, and synchronize harmoniously with the movement of the hands and the posture of the body.

Jennifer Lawrence, actress of the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012) and "Passengers" (2016), has the Sun in semisextile with Chiron-Pallas, sextile with the Moon, and square with Mars, linking together three consecutive semisextiles (aspect pattern that in the huber method is known as 'camouflage suit').
