Astrological Ramblings

Midpoints! A very important astrological concept and one that is not talked about as frequently as they should be. So I am here to talk about them now, hahaha. A midpoint is essentially the equal distance between two planets (or celestial bodies). You can take the midpoint from planets that are aspecting one another in a chart, or planets that don’t aspect one another. Midpoints can be used either way. How to actually calculate the midpoints for any planet/celestial body aspect? You can either use a computer generated program, or you can do them by hand. You will need to turn the degrees to the 360 degree zodiac first. The 360 degree zodiac is as follows:Aries: 0 to 30 degrees Taurus: 30 to 60 degrees. Gemini: 60 to 90 degrees. Cancer: 90 to 120 degrees Leo: 120 to 150 degrees Virgo: 150 to 180 degreesLibra: 180 to 210 degreesScorpio: 210 to 240 degreesSagittarius: 240 to 270 degreesCapricorn: 270 to 300 degreesAquarius: 300 to 330 degreesPisces: 330 to 360 degrees So, this is my chart above. I have the Sun and Moon Circled in Yellow. The software I’m using (Astro Gold) is able to pull midpoints, but a lot of them don’t seem to be able to do this. If I wanted to find this midpoint by hand, I would have done this:——–Turn 1 Sagittarius 45 to 241 Sagittarius 45——–Turn 16 Capricorn 03 to 286 Capricorn 03Then you add them together (adding the degrees and the minutes separately):——-Degrees: 241 + 286 […]
