You have harmonious planets, signs, aspects and houses in your birth chart.

If you type harmonious into your search engine you’ll learn that it describes something that is tuneful, pleasing, compatible and free from disagreement and dissent.

It’s commonly associated with words like melodious, agreeable, accordant and well-matched but in Hermetic astrology it is used to describe the mode of expression of birth chart markers that correspond to thoughts, feelings, desires and impulses within your soul-consciousness. 

So, rather than viewing harmonious markers as pleasing, agreeable or compatible it’s best to view them as having a constructive mode of expression that works in your best interests and favors success and satisfaction.

You could say that your harmonious thoughts, feelings, desires and impulses are expressing properly but they’re best viewed as constructive, effective, responses to circumstance that as good habits benefit your wellbeing and success.

Your personal study course in the school of life is a series of lessons involving pleasure and pain and harmonious birth chart markers indicate that your education will involve pleasure experiences involving what you’re inclined to call good events and fortunate conditions.
