arabic parts are pretty much planetary pictures that Uranian Astrologers use.

In his early writings in the 1920s, Witte experimented with numerous historical astrology techniques, including the astrological houses, planetary formulae similar to 'Arabic parts', and planetary rulership systems. His approach to astrology was to verify or deny assumptions by means of observation rather than rely on astrological traditions. Witte also proposed the existence of hypothetical trans-Neptunian objects, which are considered essential to the practice of Uranian astrology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranian_astrology

A planetary picture is a combination of three or more zodiacal elements around a common axis. The meanings of each of these many possible combinations are well known to the Uranian astrologer. These combinations were first published in the United States by Hans Niggemann and reflect the technology, views, and interests of the World War I era. I have modernized many of these definitions to reflect the current technologies and interests of the world, and they are presented later in this chapter.

As an example of equation-manipulation using the dial, let’s suppose that in a given horoscope, the midpoint of A + B is the same us the midpoint of C + D. This could come about on the 90° Dial when two planets ten degrees apart share the same midpoint with two planets twenty degrees apart. As an illustration see figure 4: the Sun is at 20° Aries and the Moon is at 10° Cancer (both Cardinal signs, of course, read in the same third of the dial). The actual midpoint is at 0° Gemini, but appears to be at 15° of the Cardinal segment on the 90° Dial, diametrically across the dial from 0° of the Mutables.

Let us further suppose that Venus is at 25° Aries and Mars is at 5° Capricorn. The actual midpoint of Venus and Mars is at 0° Virgo, but appears to be at 15° of the Cardinal segment on the 90° Dial.

Both sets of midpoints share a common axis, and this presents a specific planetary picture for the hypothetical horoscope. Note also that the resultant 5° arc opening between the Sun and Venus is the same as the arc opening between the Moon and Mars, on the 90° Dial.

In shorthand notation, the preceding example can be expressed as
Su/Mo = Ve/Ma

which really means
Su + Mo = Ve + Ma
2 2

which can also be expressed as
Su + Mo = Ve + Ma

Returning to the rule of an equation, we can subtract Venus from both sides, resulting in the Planetary Picture
Su + Mo - Ve = Ma

Similarly, we can subtract Mars from both sides of
Su + Mo = Ve + Ma

to obtain the Planetary Picture
Su + Mo - Ma = Ve

To the Uranian astrologer, these two planetary pictures have different meanings.

This also explains planetary pictures

I prefer Cosmobiology over Uranian Astrology because it also extensively uses midpoints but no hypothetical planets and no planetary pictures except for

stuff like midpoint trees

for instance

My Sun = Mars/Uranus = Pluto/MC = Jupiter/Pluto
45 degree series which can be seen on a 90 degree dial with conjunctions,squares,and oppositions appearing as conjunctions. semisquares and sesquiquadrates appear as oppositions

The school of astrology known as Cosmobiology was founded in the late 1930s by a German astrologer named Reinhold Ebertin (1901-1988) who was a student of the founder of the Hamburg School of Astrology Alfred Witte (1878-1941). The main difference between the two schools is that Cosmobiology rejects the hypothetical Trans-Neptunian objects used by the Hamburg School and later Uranian astrologers. Another difference is the significant expansion of Cosmobiology into medical astrology, Dr Ebertin being a physician.

Cosmobiology continued Alfred Witte's later primary emphasis on the use of astrological midpoints along with the following 8th-harmonic aspects in the natal chart because he considered them to be the most potent in terms of personal influence: conjunction (0°), semi-square (45°), square (90°), sesquiquadrate (135°), and opposition (180°). Today, Uranian astrologers often extend to using the 16th harmonic (the aspects first proposed by Johannes Kepler), thus including the semi-octile (22.5°) and its multiples (45°, 67.5°, 90°, 112.5°, 135°, 157.5°).

In cosmobiological analysis, planets are inserted into a special type of horoscope often referred to as a 'Cosmogram' (derived from the Uranian 90° dial chart) and delineated.

The primary reference/research text for Cosmobiology was first published in 1940 by the German astrologer Reinhold Ebertin. The name of the book is The Combination of Stellar Influences. The original German title is Kombination der Gestirneinflusse. Its foundations were derived largely from the early versions of the "Regelwerk für Planetenbilder" by Alfred Witte, and then further built upon by Ebertin and colleagues.

What is noteworthy about both Cosmobiology and Uranian Astrology are their emphasis on critical analysis and testing by observing more clearly measurable or observable astrological correlations, rather than to simply perpetuate observations or assumptions written in historical astrological texts, a problem leading to widespread criticism of mainstream Classical Astrology. For this reason, both Uranian Astrology and Cosmobiology are more likely to qualify as sciences, despite widespread historical biases against astrology due to the ambiguities of the still widely-used. Some have speculated that the term "Cosmobiology" was coined specifically to divorce its precepts from the manifold ambiguities of, and subsequent widespread biases against, Classical Astrology.

my marriage point is
aquarius 23°9

yet I have NO AIR in my chart so i wonder how that plays out

it is sextile my Moon in Aries 21°54'40 with a with 1°55 orb

sextile my Venus in Sagittarius 21°11'10 with 1°98 orb

square Saturn Scorpio 18°31'12 with 4°78 orb

Now that I've been playing with this calculator some more, I see it is sooo spooky! Here are the new things I've found:

My Part of Mother conjunct my mother's sun
My Part of Father conjunct my Mars, in my 4th house - this is significant because my parents divorced when I was three.
My Part of Benefic Change conjunct my bf's sun
My Part of Love conjunct his midheaven
My Part of Marriage conjunct his ASC
His Part of Love exactly conjunct my Jupiter in the 5th
His Part of Desire in my 8th
His Part of Marriage exactly conjunct my Sun (in the 5th)

Two alternative calculations for my Part of Marriage fall in his 9th house (my ASC is also the cusp of his 9th) - I'm told the 9th house relates to the second marriage.

my AP lover is also trine her venus aries with 0°05 orb! Holy crap that is a small orb! so is that real intense and what does it mean!?

sextile her gem mars with 3°49 orb

but square her sun with 3°24 orb

my eccentricity is cap 8°42 and is trine her sun with 2°20 orb and trine her moon with 0°28 orb. I do act rather weird with her . bit square her aries venus with 2°09 orb.

energy sex drive in sag 1°52 opp. her mars in gemini with 0°57 orb. trine aries venus 4°41 orb. trine leo asc 6°08 orb.

my partner AP 19°47 trine her sag uranus 2°25 and trine mercury aries 6°28. opp jupiter aqua 4°45

wedding AP in aqua 10°13 conjuct her aqua descendent with 2°13 orb.

I just read that your Sun represents the husband... that makes me and my bf's Part of Marriage conjunction even more significant!

My Mom's a Leo.

My Moon's in Virgo, but at the 29th degree.

16 degrees would fall under my 5th -Leo Ruled- house.

16 degrees Virgo is exactly my Saturn (in the 1st)/Mercury (in the 7th) midpoint.
