Talking to the Planets

First step to any astro-analysis is going to be Natal. So, no matter what you're looking for.. you have to go straight to where it all began.Noel Tyl loves midpoints. Midpoint theory *originally known as cosmobiology (founder Reinhold Ebertin) looks like this :

*Before you start midpoints, I suggest you find a good astro-software. I use Janus V4. But if you're looking for a free (great) alternative, I recommend you download Midpoint by Astrowin from here

planetA = planetB/planetC

whenever a planet falls in between two planets, it's a sensitive line - if you have a basic knowledge of the planets, you'd make an accurate analysis. For example, sun = jupiter/venus .. here's someone who's lucky. Jupiter is a lucky planet, Venus is attractive, artistic and charismatic.. the Sun is creative,proud, and confident and has a over all 'sunny' aspect to it. So, the line between jupiter and venus can be viewed as 'prosperous love affairs' or ' fame in the artistic field' .. and having Sun there definitely helpes the individual be confident about his/her abilities as an artist - or be happy in a relationship. They tend to attract the right people.. be at the right place at the right time.

So, a midpoint is a line between two planets..and the feel of the two planets becomes one 'point' and the third planet hitting that point, affects our lives. It seems confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it with practice.



For my first example, I'm going to talk about the following chart :

I always sort the midpoint by the orb. The orb should be within 1 degree. No more.

The first midpoint picture in this chart is :

saturn = uranus/neptune

Uranus is the eccentric, Neptune the artist..spiritual victim.. or guru.. this line between uranus and neptune is somewhat freaky. We can call it the 'weird supernatural experiences' - since uranus also rules hi-fi technology, and neptune - alcohol, and drugs.. this can be the classic nerd-on-drugs-too-much-brain-activity-leaning-on-illegal-substances line. You get the picture. Okay, Saturn.. the stern, stoic, cold..disciplined..controlled and serious.. when Saturn hits this freaky line.. we expect someone to be calculating towards new experiences, someone who is outright doubtful of the NEW AGE. He/she will restrict the hippie instincts that come with the uranus/neptune midpoint.. this person will think they've gone mentally instable when they see a ghost.. believing there's no such thing.

Moon = Ascendant/Midheaven ..

The moon is emotional. Dramatic a bit.. just plain motherly. Ascendant is not a planet,but a very personal point in the horoscope (it changes according to your birthplace).. and the Midheaven is also a very important part of your chart..because it changes according to your time of birth. crucial in any astro-analysis.
Ascendant signifies your projection to the world.. how you appear, and the Midheaven is your profession..how you survive in this society, what you do to exist. Okay.. so, having the Moon in this crucial midpoint line means everything you do, whoever you appear to be - is controlled by your emotions. You are an emotional being, and you cannot function without using your emotions. This sounds like someone who's whiny or nuts - truth is, these people can be a little crazy..but they're deep people, you'd want to be part of their family because they'd always take care of you.

Last midpoint picture for the day :

Aries Point = Mercury/Jupiter

Once again, the Aries Point is not a planet, but netherless a very sensitive point in the chart. Aries Point(aka. AP) is zero-degree aries in a chart, shows our drive..our X-FACTOR, where we will succeed..now, Mercury is a mental planet..intellectual, conversationist, quirky..a bit nerdy - very changeable, it's associated with Gemini (twins) so you get the picture - Jupiter like I said before, is a happy-go-lucky planet, not big on thinking, does whatever it pleases and usually get's whatever it wants - Zeus was known as Jupiter, so it has a 'king' like feel to it - so,

AP = MERCURY/JUPITER - People with this midpoint picture, can be successful by writing, they give great speeches, articulate beings by nature - talking to the right people at the right time. Their claim to fame would definitely be in the writing field.

I'll be back with more midpoint pictures.

Questions are welcome.
