One example I've got is Mars is square Neptune, I never really thought much of the effects until I realized the midpoint was located in my 9th house. I seem to have this tendency to have real power struggles/delusions when it comes to 9th house things.

It is probably safe to assume that most all astrologers will agree that two of the most
important points in any chart are the Sun and Moon. While other points such as the
Ascendant and Midheaven may be "suspect" due to the uncertainty of the birth (or event)
time I've never known any astrologer to disregard the Sun and Moon. But have you ever
considered the midpoint of these two? It is important! This midpoint can be easily found,
either by counting the number of degrees between the Su and Mo and dividing by 2, or
perhaps by carefully using a compass and ruler. In other words, it is the point half way
between the Su and Mo, written as Su / Mo.
Now, what if you found that your Su / Mo midpoint was right on top of Saturn by less
than a degree of orb. Would this be significant? You bet it would! Or what if you found
that transiting (or progressed or directed) Neptune is within 10 minutes orb of the Su/Mo
midpoint? One (negative) manifestation of this would be the end of a marriage!
Midpoints are indeed important.
Just before we look at a few examples, let me clarify a few things. If we restrict a chart to
only the "traditional" planets and points (Su, Mo, planets, Moon's Node, Ascendant and
Midheaven) there are a total of 78 midpoints. One of the first things a midpoint astrologer
has to determine is which midpoints to use; if too many are used our work becomes
confusing. I have chosen to discuss the Su/Mo midpoint for three reasons. First, everyone
should be very familiar with the energies of the Su and Mo, and secondly this midpoint is
one of the important ones specified in Cosmobiology. Also, if the birth or event time is
not known to be precise, it would be unwise to use faster moving points. There are other
important midpoints of course, but keep in mind that this lecture is an introduction to
basic midpoint astrology.

I feel like I can relate to this even though I'm unsure what exactly midpoints represent.

I definitely feel very Sagittarian. Everything this sign represents I feel is part of me..I am very connected to my intellectual, thinking, writing, speaking side (Mercury) and also my rebellious, changing, impulsive, offbeat side (Uranus).

In synastry, my Sun-Mars midpoint exactly conjuncts my guy's Mars..what would this indicate?

I am so intrigued by midpoints cos l have sun and mercury conjunct my venus/mars mp plus cos l have such a tight stellium of :

That's a interesting stellium you have there, Lara - so any Venus activity in your life happens to be linked to your soul purpose and brings lessons with it!

Also that solar fire offers planet to midpoint interpretations. so if anyone wants that report done send me an email with the chart data. email is on my profile under interests

for example, I have these two:

quote:

---

Moon = Jupiter / North Node +0°11'
Linking together with others over shared emotions and feelings leads to formation of a group or community. You find particular happiness with partners and in relationships by a feeling that you have discovered a soul mate.
Pluto = Moon / North Node -0°45'
You might be drawn into a fated association or contact that changes your life. You are stimulated by and drawn towards intense and dominating people.

Don't want to hijack the thread here, sorry.

In the astro.com grid chart, the natal placements are in a diagonal from the top left to bottom right of this image. They divide the grid into two halves.
The bottom (left) half is the natal planetary aspects. The top (right) half is the midpoints.
Read to the right and upwards.
For instance, the Sun/Moon midpoint is 11Leo50.
The Ve/Ju mp in this graph is 21Gem05.
The Me/Ne mp is 27Leo06.

It's either NEAR yuck or FAR yuck

Seriously though, near is for example l have venus at 21' aries and mars at 21' taurus so my venus/mars mp is 6' taurus. This is the NEAR point. The FAR point is 6' scorpio.
