I have been wondering about declination midpoints.Magi Astrologers use declination midpoints. They are not the only astrologers that use them. Cosmobiologists do too. In her book, COSMOBIOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY, Eleonora Kimmel uses declination midpoints. She wrote that Reinhold Ebertin published information about declinations since 1976. She said that all the information has been published only in German. She said that he designed forms for declinations. Declination Midpoints by Jamie Longstreet Interesting to me always, is that Ebertin uses declination midpoints in his work. To derive the midpoint via declination he applies basically the same rules that are applied when calculating the midpoint in zodiacal longitude. However, the longitude goes from 0 to 360 degrees and declination subdivides itself into North and South declination. This complicates things for those who are not visual. I'll try to provide an example. http://www.solsticepoint.com/midpts.htm http://www.mandala.be/declination/dearborn4.htm 15 minutes of arc if using the major planets,points midpoint pictures involving Sun,Moon,Ascendant,Midheaven with 7 minutes of arc are major life themes if using minor planets, 7 minutes of arc midpoint pictures involving Sun,Moon,Ascendant,Midheaven with 3 minutes of arc are major life themes Midpoint pictures Sun parallel Jupiter/Uranus - '01 - major life theme Venus parallel Mars/Jupiter - '02 Sun parallel Moon/Venus - '03' - major life theme Mercury parallel Neptune/Node - '03 Mercury parallel Venus/Node - '06 Mercury parallel Venus/Neptune - '10 Sun parallel Moon/Mercury - '10 Sun parallel Moon/Node - '10 Venus parallel Neptune/Node - '11 Moon parallel Uranus/Midheaven - '11 Uranus parallel Node/Ascendant - '11 Uranus contraparallel Moon/Saturn - '11 Mercury parallel Mars/Jupiter - '12

go to Extended Chart Selection go to Chart Drawing Style, and select Keller style (w.midpoints) Then click to get the chart Then click view additional tables PDF Declination midpoints will be on page 3 Please share your declination midpoints pictures
Can you relate to them? What orbs do you feel comfortable using? The declination midpoint orb at astro.com is 20 minutes of arc. I thought it was too big. I thought 15 would be ok. I used half that orb for midpoint pictures involving the dwarf planets,dwarf planet candidates.

Hi Raymond, are you looking @ pg.2 "Parallel aspects between natal planets"? It's the one that sets 20 minutes for the mp orb.

It said page 3 for me.It's because mine is longer because I included the 4 dwarf planets and 5 named dwarf planet candidates. ------------------ Raymond Supporting the Neurodiversity Movement A Different Mind Is Not A Deficient Mind. http://people.tribe.net/4b0cf8c4-1fc3-4171-92d3-b0915985bf95/blog IP: Logged |

There's a part of me that wants to put it up to 10 total for the midpoint pictures and let everything up to that which incl Sun Moon Asc Mc as a major life theme. But that area I added here like you stated you liked, which is up to 7 for major life themes, up to 15 total. IP: Logged |

Lonake,I just used the orbs that I felt most comfortable with. I think that it's good for you to do the same to see what you feel is best for you. For instance,you used up to only 3 minutes of arc for the dwarf planets,dwarf planet candidates which was the maximum theme orb and less than the maximum general orb of 7 minutes of arc that I used. That's ok because you're using what you feel comfortable with and what works for you. Orbs are very subjective and relative.
What works for me may not work for you I thought the orbs that I used were small enough. Some people will just have numerous midpoints involving certain objects. They will often strengthen an already present theme. like my Moon parallel Sedna/Neptune midpoint of 6 minutes of arc repeated my theme with Moon,Neptune,and Sedna that are in 12th harmonic aspect to each other. Moon square Neptune,Moon sextile Sedna,Neptune quincunx Sedna

I'm curious what you'd make of this mp as it stands out to me for some reason,"Node parallel Haumea/Asc - '01 - major life theme" does it mean something along the lines of 'lifepath works directly with outward expression/physical manifestation of haumea'? IP: Logged |

Also, how did you go about figuring 'Midpoint Picture combos"? Are they the mp's most frequently activated within orb?IP: Logged |

"I'm curious what you'd make of this mp as it stands out to me for some reason,"Node parallel Haumea/Asc - '01 - major life theme" hmmmmmmm Node is about associations,connections Haumea is named after the Hawaiian Fertility Creation Goddess who children were born from being broken off from her body. The object had pieces broken off that became its moons and some independently orbiting objects due to a collision with another large transneptunian object. A lot of its ice was broken off, and so it's mainly stone. It has a 4 hour rotation,and so it's the fastest spinning object. It looks like a football that has been kicked. That's due to the collision. It can be associated with fertility,creativity,tranformation This is what Philip Sedgwick wrote for preliminary keywords for Haumea:
Positive: Soulful confidence, an unshakeable personal inner knowing, creative, regenerative. Able to reconstruct, redefine, transform, especially regarding consciousness, willfulness and restoring rock solid integrity. Supportive. Fostering. Fertile. Creative. Negative : Insecure and attention demanding. Dramatic. Egocentric. A bully disposition. Forces head-on collisions. Claims martyrdom and sacrifice to secure attention. Willing to attach to someone else’s momentum or allowing dependent sorts to attach to one’s efforts for self benefit (using non-paid volunteers, fans, devotees). Mundane: Self awareness programs. Portraits and or caricatures. “Spin” as in political or media framing of events. Affinity or family bonds with those similar in nature. The Hula. The big island of Hawaii. Storm warnings to sailors in form or rainbow. Lava cooling in the sea to make land. Creation, fertility, childbirth and sisterhood. Verbal affirmations. Body sacrifice. Entourages. Groupies. Ceremonial: Hulas, regeneration ceremonies, affirmations. Soul-based capitulation ceremonies (surrendering ego to spirit). Ceremonies in which a mask is removed (unmasking of the great Hopi kachina Saquasohuh). Lunar bodies contributing to keywords: Hi’iaka, Namaka. The Ascendant is viewed by cosmobiologists as relationships with others
" Also, how did you go about figuring 'Midpoint Picture combos"? Are they the mp's "most frequently activated within orb?"
no the midpoint picture combos are objects that aspect the same midpoints which includes objects aspecting each other for example: I have Sun contraparallel Orcus - '01 - major life theme Sun parallel Jupiter/Uranus - '01 - major life theme Orcus contraparallel Jupiter/Uranus - '01 Sun parallel Moon/Venus - '03 - major life theme Orcus contraparallel Moon/Venus - '03 - major life theme
I don't use no more than 30 minutes of arc for declination aspects that involve the dwarf planets,dwarf planet candidates I use 1 degree orb for declination aspects involving just the regular stuff in Astrology. For years, I thought that I could strongly relate to my Sun contraparallel Pluto with 42 minutes of arc since 1999.
Then after Orcus was discovered in 2004, I realized that my Sun contraparallel the Orcus with 1 minute of arc easily accounted for that. The aspect is very similar because Orcus is a plutino named after Pluto's Etruscan counterpart. Orcus has additional themes of oaths,promises. I adjusted my orbs to the recent astronomical discoveries, making room for them. My Sun parallel Jupiter/Uranus reflects my highly progressive nature. It can a good aspect for an astrologer too. http://astropost.blogspot.com/2009/02/jupiter-uranus-and-charts-of.html Ebertin said that Jupiter/Uranus is "Thank the lord" configuration. He noticed that people with aspects to Jupiter/Uranus would say that after release of tension. I usually say "Thank God' after releasing tension. according to Robert Hand's HOROSCOPE SYMBOLS: Jupiter/Uranus means the urge to break free of restraint, the drive for freedom. The need or desire for sudden changes of fortune, hence associated with sudden luck, either bad or good. Difficulties with restraints imposed by the law of other authorities. according to Ruth Brummond's Rulebook: SU.JU.UR. + keenly perceptive. intuitive. lively. brisk. future-oriented. resourceful. inventive. fair. quick to size up situations. original. interested in the unusual. unpredictable. eccentric. reformist. technically oriented. has rhythm. progressive. Sudden good luck with or due to the husband. Sudden or unexpected benefits or income. Beneficial event with a person. Enjoyable events. Pleasant surprises. Unexpected justice. Surprise over the wealth of a man. Successful technician. Eventful day. Years of successful events. Survival instinct. - impulsive. self-willed. easily upset. unsettled. rebellious. Increasing physical tension or stress.
I also have Sun/Mercury conjunct Jupiter/Uranus with 3 minutes of arc. Uranian astrologers refer to as "planetary picture",Magi astrologers refer to as "Magi Quad" http://www.jupitersweb.com/magi_quads_and_midpoint_crossing.htm
,and David Colchrane refers to as "Isoscles Trapezoid" http://cosmic.patterns.com/ArabicParts.htm ------------------ Raymond

DD,That's cool that you included the centaurs. I have a Moon=Neptune/MC configuration like you, but mine is in the other equatorial coordinate - Right Ascension. Your Moon parallel Venus/Sedna seems to want a love that is not ordinary. I like that aspect. It's beautiful. Your Pluto = Ascendant/Midheaven and Ceres = Sun/Moon are very interesting too. I can't find a free program online that does Right Ascension midpoints. Solar Fire does, but it doesn't do transneptunian,centaur,asteroid midpoints unless they are Sedna,Eris, the 4 major asteroids, and Hygeia.
I am going to start a thread on conjunction,opposition midpoint to midpoint configurations an orb of 30 minutes of arc for those. That's excluding the minor objects including Pluto. an orb of 15 minutes of arc and involving the Sun,Moon,Mercury,Midheaven could indicate a strong life theme.

Raymond,I was actually thinking about the Moon=Venus/Sedna midpoint. It seemed significant as it is exact and including very female energies. I just wasn´t sure what it means. Wasn´t Sedna an indication for being "victimized" or do I mis-remember something? IP: Logged |

"I was actually thinking about the Moon=Venus/Sedna midpoint. It seemed significant as it is exact and including very female energies. I just wasn´t sure what it means. Wasn´t Sedna an indication for being "victimized" or do I mis-remember something?"yeah...victimization,betrayal,abuse but it has positives too just like any other object according to Philip Sedgwick:
Positive - a forgiving disposition, discernment, clarity of perception, recognition of free will and choice, responsible, conscious of consequence, far thinking, dharma-oriented, does the homework of life
Negative - victimization, abuse, being deceived, history of betrayal, bitterness, “gold digging” attitude in relationship, transfers blame to others, numbs out, goes unconscious Mundane - blubber, products made from sea mammals, whaling, diving bells that go into the dark of the sea, emotional healing, forgiveness, sorrow, engagement, masks, flight of the birds Ceremonial - cleansing in the sea, propitiation to the sea, sea creatures, use of sea creature talismans (walrus tusk carvings, scrimshaw), ceremony with masks of sea creatures, ceremonial masks in general Roy MacKinnon who has Sun conjunct Sedna wrote the following keywords for Sedna: Victim, sacrifice sometimes unavoidable: transformation of victimhood – losses, possibly emotional, in mundane house where Sedna is, particularly if afflicted: inevitable fate – destiny: not of this world – worlds in collision – not of this culture, not of this time: uncovering that which is hidden, remote, unseen: concealed and acting unseen in an inky blackness: search for new knowledge in an alien world: issues around preservation of that which is untouched, essential, numinous: purposeful activity fuelled by a burning inner spiritual drive not of the personality: superconscious perception which incorporates a multi-dimensional mystical universe: far-sighted intelligence: misperception of reality – delusional, self-deception: release of soul to the world of spirit in the process of dying: psychic/mediumistic – this world connected to the other: the suffering of the unloved, outcast, sick, homeless, limbless: Noah's ark – preservation of what would otherwise become extinct: buried alive – entombed: Thy Will, not my will: essence not personality: preservation of nature and ecosystems: receptive to a spiritual calling from afar: the power of water: in this world but not of it. ------------------ Raymond Supporting the Neurodiversity Movement A Different Mind Is Not A Deficient Mind. http://people.tribe.net/4b0cf8c4-1fc3-4171-92d3-b0915985bf95/blog IP: Logged | |
