We always use the international two-letter notations of the planets, points or bodies (see later) when writing about midpoint structures. We write this as follows: VE = MA/UR which reads as Venus (VE) is at the midpoint (=) between Mars and Uranus (MA/UR). If we find Venus at 20° Taurus when Mars is at 7° Cancer and Uranus at 4° Aries, then we have a DIRECT (occupied) midpoint. These are the DIRECT midpoints because they are right in-between two planets, points or bodies along the shortest distance of the horoscope wheel.Īny planet, point or body exactly at this (sensitive) midpoint takes on, is colored by, the meanings of both planets, points or bodies. We just told you that, if Mars is at 7° Cancer and Uranus at 4° Aries, the Mars/Uranus midpoint is right in-between, at 20° Taurus. Let's take it a step further, based upon the previous example: If you find Mars at 7° Cancer and Uranus at 4° Aries, then the Mars/Uranus midpoint is right in-between both planets at 20° Taurus. This sensitive (mid)point may be occupied by a third planet, point or body or it may be in aspect to a third planet, point or body. Not doing so is missing a huge part of the puzzle! What are midpoints?Ī midpoint is (litterally) a (sensitive) point half-way between two planets, points or bodies it is the half-distance between two planets, points or bodies.
However, the midpoint system is one of the most reliable methods an astrologer can use, the more so because the midpoints are quite well researched and can be used 'scientifically' in that they have the same scope of meanings.Īny astrologer who takes him- or herself (and astrology) serious, should learn and use the midpoints. You read it right: not using exact midpoints in astrology is like driving a car without wheels! Midpoints in astroloy are THAT important! The majority of people who practice or study (real or serious) astrology don't use or know the midpoint system.
