It is not true what you have written here. You must read if you want to write about it.

Which harmonic was used was not arbitrary, but because of the birth times. It is not used higher and higher harmonics

In my work "Astrological research Murder Cases" says :

"Harmonic 4096 for exact birth times,harmonic 4 and 8 when only birth day
known,harmonic 64 when birth time rounded."

Harmonic 4 : 1 Case
Harmonic 8 : 56 Case
Harmonic 64 : 8 case
Harmonic 4096 : 43 Case

Here it is :

Combined with using midpoints and hypothetical planets...

Again, What you have written here is not true. This shows that you have not read at all. I assume that by "hypothetical planets" you mean transneptunians. As you can see there, if you make an effort, I did not use any transneptunian in any example at all.

If I needed the Transneptunians, I would be happy to use them. And here for the two very great astrologers, Alfred Witte and Friedrich Sieggrün, who discovered the Transneptunians, I would like to thank them for their great work for astrology.
What you wrote next, I don't want to go into, because it's useless, as it turned out. If you have any example that does not confirm my rules in this topic, I will answer. Otherwise I have no time for unastrological discussions.
