i am just thinking.. it kinda seems to make sense, but i have never heard of it. obviously, that is the whole premise of the composite chart, but if you do it with other planets and not just moon-to-moon, for example, wouldn't that give you a more detailed picture of how your specific planets interact? anyone do this?IP: Logged |

Sure!! Check out the Psyche/Eros midpoint to see if any of your SO's had a personal planet, Jupiter or Pluto aspecting it (personally I wouldn't allow too much more than 1, *maybe* 2 degrees MAX for the orb)
There's a few threads here on Sun/Moon m/p. You can get your midpoints grid at astro.com under the Pullen chart selection menu.....IP: Logged |

hey zala.. i mean like, midpoints say between MY eros and HIS psyche, or HIS sun to MY moon.. know what i mean? would that indicate anything? or is that a bit too out there?  but while we're on the topic, can i ask you what you think of this one? my psyche/eros midpoint is exactly opposite his sun/moon midpoint AND his mercury (they are exactly conjunct, which i think seems pretty good).. and my sun/moon midpoint is on his NN.. also, our psyche/eros midpoints are exactly trined! wahoo, i love this one. just had to say it.

Love your enthusiasm
Don't want to dampen any of that, but (just my personal take) I think the trined Psyche/Eros m/p's would be a minor influence.....
No, I wasn't thinking of the midpoint between your Eros and his Psyche..... for all I know that could be a sensitive spot, but I was thinking along the lines of your other suggestions -- I like the Merc sitting on his Sun/Moon m/p opp your P/E m/p 
You're an Aqua, yes?? Then you would probably respond very well to his mental energy tied into his ego expression and emotions
I don't have a good grasp of points aspecting points (your Sun/Moon m/p on his NN). A planet "has energy." I see a planet as expanding, expressing or defining a point (eg, Pluto conj Asc modifies my personality). A mathematical point where the energies of two planets meet has no energy of its own, but is the blending area of collected energies -- kinda like the Moon has no light of its own, but reflects the Sun's light.....
Want another intriguing wrinkle?? Midpoints "transit" too.....

woah, man. that is one heck of a wrinkle! love it..ahh, at least i have some outlet for my ever-so-curious triple aquarianness.. but can i ask, what does THIS mean?: "You're an Aqua, yes?? Then you would probably respond very well to his mental energy tied into his ego expression and emotions" do you just mean that i would like it cuz it would mean he would be expressive, mentally (combining the sun/moon and chanelled through his intellect?). if that is what you mean, you would be right. BUT this all transpires in cancer (well, except his gemini moon) and therefore, there is LITTLE actual discourse on the nature of his emotions taking place. so sadly, nope. but i DO find the undercurrents and intuitive aspect of his communication VERY sexy.. which could account for the psyche/eros midpoint opposition, right? and i get it about the trine being weak. darn. but HEY his eros does form a grande trine with my venus and his jupiter, exact, so i am letting his eros count just a tiny bit more than it might otherwise, in that sense. do you think that's okay? and his psyche sits exactly on my NN and our composite DC, so i like that one too.

oh, and haha, so as not to usurp my own thread, i am going to reread your assessment of cross-midpointery over and over till it totally sinks in. i think i get it but not totally yet. thank you!IP: Logged |

That is EXACTLY what I meant!!
Is he a Cancerian or Leo Sun?? (thinking of the different flavors of the blend with the Gem Moon).....IP: Logged |

cancer, at 29 degrees. what do you think?i am pretty sure his ego/emotional expression, as harnessed by mercury as it may be, is going to remain either gemini-esque (which is puzzling enough!) or very under wraps and cancer-like.. it is a bit confusing but i think i'm starting to understand him. ..also puzzles me a bit about the midpoint, and how exactly to interpret that.. since as you say it should be some sort of focal point or expressive aspect, right, but in his case it seems to not be the case. i have some theories about that but i'd have to go into vast details about his chart and i don't really want to do that here. anyway, i think it's mostly just attributable to so many cancer placements.

Z...correct me if I've heard the wrong info on this...Are you only supposed to count conjunctions, oppositions, and squares when looking at midpoints? Someone (  My memory is so bad!) on here told me that a long time ago. They said that you wouldn't really be able to feel the energy otherwise and the aspects we normally count as negatives (ie squares) actually only act as a "set in motion" kind of energy for midpoints. Si o no?  8th IP: Logged |

I guess "Si" would be the correct answer

Sorry to butt in like this ... I like the concept of midpoints in synastry (not so sure about midpoints in a composite ... but that's a different story ). Anyway, my SO has his Chiron exactly opposite (within 9' of arc) my Psyche/Eros midpoint. My Sun exactly squares his Psyche/Eros midpoint. Also his Sun squares my Sun/Moon midpoint and my Moon opposes his Sun/Moon midpoint. Any ideas how significant those aspects would be??? IP: Logged |
