Midpoints 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.

hey 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.

What 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 configurations

for example

Mars,Jupiter,Uranus in grand trine

Mars is oppose Jupiter/Uranus midpoint
Jupiter is oppose Mars/Uranus midpoint
Uranus is oppose Mars/Uranus midpoint

I never thought of it like that and it sheds a whole new light on it for me. I'm not kidding. The breakdown into these lesser known Aspects can make my head spin, and I still don't have a full grasp on some I should really be familiar with, but I know I'll have that Ah-Ha moment soon. Your example takes me back to Geometry 101, cutting the pie into pieces, etc. And funny how even if one doesn't grasp that right away, there are other things in life I could almost be a genius about. (I said ALMOST) ...

Thanks.

Are you stoning me ? ... (dude?) ...

For real? ...

.... OH! I just got an idea

So how about you? Do you know what it feels like when you're too Watery, but worship the Fire?

OK... I guess I'm "the Dude" you're talking to

stoning? Are we getting stoned?

Yes! really and for profit

Just the opposite. Maybe to firey with with a respectful understanding for Water.

... hee hee ...

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.
