T O P I C R E V I E Wastrostudenthow important are midpoints? can somebody please explainlalalindaMidpoints are important when they complete a configuration like a T-square, grand trine, etc.Remember that the midpoint of an opposition is a square and the midpoint of a square is a semi-square which when exact is irritating.williamhey astro, the easiest way to conceptualize a midpoint is: if you had a conjunction between the 2 planets in your natal chart,the midpoint would be where it was.i agree they work best when opposed,square,semisquare or sesquiquadrate[135]. they are also very useful when they are conjunct a planet.they can stand alone when in stress patterns[above aspects] with 2 or more midpoints.williamGlaucusWhat midpoints are is the middle of the distance between 2 points. This is a geometrical concept. When a point is within a 1-2 degrees conjunct,opposition,square,semisquare,or sesquiquadrate, it's a midpoint configuration and it acts like a combination of 3 points.Uranian astrologers use the 22.5 degree aspects with midpoints too.Even further knowledge can be gained by use of the 22.5° angle. This is the 16th harmonic of the circle and its significance correlates symbolically with the 23°27' of longitude that accounts for the difference between the Ecliptic and the Equator. Conjunctions are direct midpoint configurations. Oppositions,Square,semisquare,sesquiquadrate,22.5 are indirect midpoints.points that are in midpoint configuration are often in geometrical aspect patterns.For example:I have Moon in Pisces oppose Saturn/Neptune midpoint in Virgo with 17 minutes of arc.I have Moon square the opposition of Saturn in Gemini and Neptune in Sagittarius for a t-square.a tight grand trine is 3 midpoint opposition configurationsfor exampleMars,Jupiter,Uranus in grand trineMars is oppose Jupiter/Uranus midpointJupiter is oppose Mars/Uranus midpointUranus is oppose Mars/Uranus midpoint http://members.tripod.com/%7Ejunojuno2/urast.htm http://en.mimi.hu/astrology/midpoint.html http://finblake.home.mindspring.com/brbegles1.htm http://finblake.home.mindspring.com/bf90dialexplan.htm astrostudentthanks so much for the replies,guys!astro junkielalalinda - quote:Remember that the midpoint of an opposition is a square and the midpoint of a square is a semi-squarewhich when exact is irritating.I never thought of it like that and it sheds a whole new light on it for me.

Remember that the midpoint of an opposition is a square and the midpoint of a square is a semi-square which when exact is irritating.
Conjunctions are direct midpoint configurations. Oppositions,Square,semisquare,sesquiquadrate,22.5 are indirect midpoints.
points that are in midpoint configuration are often in geometrical aspect patterns.
For example:
I have Moon in Pisces oppose Saturn/Neptune midpoint in Virgo with 17 minutes of arc.
I have Moon square the opposition of Saturn in Gemini and Neptune in Sagittarius for a t-square.
a tight grand trine is 3 midpoint opposition configurations
for example
Mars,Jupiter,Uranus in grand trine
Mars is oppose Jupiter/Uranus midpointJupiter is oppose Mars/Uranus midpointUranus is oppose Mars/Uranus midpoint http://members.tripod.com/%7Ejunojuno2/urast.htm http://en.mimi.hu/astrology/midpoint.html http://finblake.home.mindspring.com/brbegles1.htm http://finblake.home.mindspring.com/bf90dialexplan.htm

stoning? Are we getting stoned?
Yes! really and for profit
Just the opposite. Maybe to firey with with a respectful understanding for Water.
"There is no crying in baseball"
Exactly, no crying in baseball.
Well, I guess if this Water tends to worship the Fire, there's a lot of steam > astro-erotica.
Wow, I love when people come up with these ideas. Thanks.
