The Soli-Lunar midpoint via secondary progression is something I find is absolutely vital to consider in any kind of chart interpretation. If the progressed chart is reflective of where we are now in our spiritual development (see The Progressed Chart Confusion), and the progressed Sun and progressed Moon are the major indicators of our soul’s growth, continually in movement and in changing relation to one another (read Dane Rudhyar’s book on the progressed lunar cycle), then the Soli-Lunar progressed midpoint indicates our spiritual ‘hotspot.’ The midpoint of the progressed Sun and progressed Moon can indicate major life events, or turning points, when they hit natal planets or sensitive areas of the chart. And of course, it is a crucial point in synastry, particularly in regards to transits and other progressed planets. If another’s planet or point hits the progressed midpoint, the impact is as strong as a connection to the natal chart, but they are not as long lasting. The relationship might be temporary, or the connection will indicate someone entering our lives. The midpoint of the progressed Sun and Moon moves fairly quickly, given that the Sun moves forward roughly one degree per year and the progressed Moon about two and a half degrees per month. The progressed midpoint is ever-changing, fascinating to watch, and will often have its greatest impact when it is within minutes of exact and triggered by the transiting Moon or Sun. It can be particularly explosive when the progressed Soli-Lunar midpoint moves to hit the midpoint of two planets that are conjunct. The conjunction will come alive in a way it never has before, and its influence may colour the life for a long time to come, even after the progressed midpoint is long past.

It’s important to note that contacts to the Soli-Lunar midpoint do not necessarily indicate deep relationships, and they bring no guarantees for the long term. It isn’t better to have one than not to have one. In fact, they can often make a relationship uncomfortable, because real growth pulls us out of our comfort zones, requires real change, and is never easy. It’s easy to get all Neptunian and start wishing for these connections, or seeking them out, but the truth is that, as compelling as they are, they’re useless unless we’re very willing and able to do the work at hand. *

my pr Sun/Moon is on 15°55 Aries, not setting off anything wild. It is one degree off squaring Saturn, though that is not something to look for I guess. lol

However, it will be interesting if it gets to about 20-21 Aries, as it will be on my Chiron, square my Vertex and also square my natal Sun/Moon-mp.
Interesting, not easy, I guess.

PHASE 107 (CANCER 17°): THE UNFOLDMENT OF MULTILEVEL POTENTIALITIES ISSUING FROM AN ORIGINAL GERM.

KEYNOTE: The life urge to actualize one's birth potential.

What is pictured here is simply the process of germination. As it unfolds from the sundered seed the plant pierces the crust of the soil and reaches up toward the light. This is a dynamic process turned outward, in contrast to the more static or introspective process of integration-through- understanding depicted in the preceding symbol.

Germination is the crucifixion of the seed. The seed becomes the germ, just as the Tibetan student meditating silently and peacefully on the Mandala is followed by the Christian Crusader - and, at a materialistic level of productivity, by the engineer-technologist intent upon transforming the globe for the greatest possible enjoyment of the greatest possible number of human beings.

I recently re-kindled a relationship with a family member I had fallen out with, and just checked my p.MP:
it's conj their n.Venus, and their p.MP is conj my n.NN. Their n.Venus is trine my n.NN (which I just noticed).

Oh wow, now that you mention it I just calculated my bf's P. midpoint - which is at 7 Leo, exactly square my P. midpoint and also conjunct my natal Sun at 8 Leo, crazy!

Hey Ceri, I just took a look at mine until the end of the year and it seems to change a full degree roughly every 6 wks. Since yours is almost 16, it seems about mid-March for the Chiron conj.

Hi ail221, That's a pretty strong conj since it's right on your Moon/Asc! I'd be interested to know what comes to pass Which makes me wonder, I should research my past strong p.MP conjunctions.

Hi sand, t.Venus was at 16 Cancer around 8/24, anything special then with the conj?
Just found your chart, mid-April 2014 looks about the time it'll be conj your MC (rough estimate).

not much on that day or around it. i am pretty much all work and no play for now.

exact conjunction to my Chiron will be on 16th march.
Additionally pr Moon will be exactly square my IC-MC-axis and opposing my natal Venus by one degree applying.

on 24tth may it will be exactly square my natal Sun/Moon-mp and on 1st june will be exactly square my natal Vertex.

Also, the transiting nodes were just conj it a bit ago, reversed position.

- i made a little mistake, progressed Moon is in Taurus (not Aries) - which places the "Near Mid-point" at 16 degrees in Gemini - and indeed the Near Point is of greater importance - kinda like the "North Node" where the "Far Mid Point" is the opposite (similar to South Node) - yet, this points are not related to karma - past or current life lessons... and i checked more charts to see if there's a connection between NN/SN and Solar-Mon Mid-points (since this mid-point has some things in common with SN/NN) - both with natal and progressed charts and "generally speaking" there's no connection.

If the North Node is essential for soul growth/evolution - the Solar/Moon Mid point is essential for "your current existence" in terms of purpose and happiness - that's why we look in others (friends, lovers) for qualities that can help us feel more complete... and that's why we feel like "we need" that type of friend or that type of lover. I found a couple of articles that prove to be useful in understanding the mid points:

- here's an article that revolves around 8 "primary" Mid-Points (in terms of importance - that selection fits the main interests) + other variables: http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/articles/midpoints_astrology.htm - "Inverse midpoint = Far midpoint"...

...here's a blog article (open to discussions): http://sasstrology.com/2012/02/your-sunmoon-midpoint-the-key-to-your-relationships.html - that expands the subject in terms of "relationship"...

...and here's another article good for learning to work with Mid Points (the primary article - can be really useful paired with this one): http://www.internationalastrologers.com/midpoints_calculator_free_chart.htm - but some things are missing but are covered by this one: http://www.free-spiritual-guidance.com/midpoints-astrology.html#anchor_488

- some interpretations: http://johnsandbach.com/?page_id=7243

Vert, I'm not sure of importance re: sq MP's..but the conj to your Sun sounds v.major (!) I told Ceri it seems to change degree every 6 wks so that sounds like a conj for about 3 more mos. Yea I think it would aid understanding, sounds v.nice! I guess he's looking to you for integration right now.

An compulsive "learner"! I like that.
I am like that myself if something fascinates me.

Well, my third tightest natal midpoint picture is:
Moon=Mercury/Pluto (orb: 0°03)

(there are only two which are tighter: orb: 0°02:
Jupiter= Moon/MC with Jupiter in my 3rd house!
ASC = Mars/Node)
