Yes, it is.
In the german book I have been reading on midpoints, he gives a priority-list, and among those that are formed with 2 or at least one personal angle or luminary, he puts up to the top the 3 fold permutations, something like
Sun= Jupiter/Uranus, Jupiter=Sun/Uranus, Uranus=Sun/JUpiterHe uses the 45 dial (with 1,5 degrees actually).
Personally I tend to limit it to 1 degrees and 0°30 for the 8th harmonic aspects, and considering those within 15 minutes of orb as "peaking - exactness-climax" - mostly because Bernadette Brady emphasized this (well, she sais it is 12 minutes, but I expanded to 15 minutes), and just today stumbled across an astrologer posting the 15 minutes figure as well, so I?d stick with this - talking about event charts of course, and this is just the high-phase, the peak, of course anything under 1 degree will be important.
Anyway, permutations....
Those permutations would constitute a strong theme, if they are present (not every chart has them of course).
But it is totally impossible that all three of them would appear as direct midpoints, unless there was a very tightorbed stellium or conjunction with opposition.
For example if you have a T-square, you will have a direct midpoint probably, but you also will have semisquares/sesisquare (which dissect the squaring planets).
In the very least I would consider them in that way as important.
I also noticed of course that they are very present in the lunar cycle.
The question for me is really, they are not really midpoints (conjunction and oppositions are), they are aspects to midpoints, squares, semisquare and sesisquare - which is why they are called indirect.
I`d think them as important, but not as prominent as direct midpoints.
And also in the three-fold-permutations I would see them as supporting factors to the direct midpoint that was present.
Sort of like they were supporting actors to the main act on stage, if you know what Imean?
I am just putting some thoughts out here. lol
Interestingly in our EVD with the last meeting we had P AND me both had such threefold-permutations (in the Davison between event and natal). And when I tuned in onto these, it just made so much sense and the clarity of the picture emerging was just breathtaking - I rarely get that astro-tingle (anymore), but THAT was such an instance. When you look down on something and KNOW this is important, this is worthy to be stored in memory for a quick access to really central themes.
Of course there are several approaches to figure out the central themes, but THIS would be one.
Permutations.
BTW for that I expanded the orb to 1°30, as we have three planets in mutual relationship to each other I thought it made sense, though my dominant picture was very tightly orbed actually.
And what really nearly made me choke on my coffee, was to see HOW and to WHAT these pictures were connected in the natal charts.
Additionally the pictures were either including angles, or one of the planets was conjunct an angle, and hence foreground.
This I found important because it meant that these permutations were only existent - and / or foreground - WITHIN a couple of minutes, the exact time this encounter took place!
