MIDPOINTS IN ASTROLOGY

Midpoints are considered one of the most successful Astrological applications available for predictive abilities.  A midpoint is the exact halfway point between two planets or two significant points (Ascendant, Midheaven) or astrological bodies (such as Chiron).  The Part of Fortune, as well as the Vertex, or other bodies that you use to delineate an Astrology Chart can also be used when calculating midpoints.

If, for example, you have Uranus at 11 degrees Cancer and the Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio, the midpoint would be 19 degrees Virgo.  If you were to have a planet or significant point in the natal chart that is within a one degree orb of 19 degrees Virgo, that planet /point would be influenced by the energies of Uranus and the Moon.  If, let’s say, you have Mars at 19 degrees, Mars would be heavily influenced by Uranus and the Moon.

With this example, when delineating transits and progressions, any planetary link to this position would also carry these overtones as well as the conjunction to Mars.  You can also use the semi-square, the square, the sesquiquadrate and the opposition when delineating this configuration.  These aspects are all divisions of 45 degrees and will bring action, create events and make these events noticeable to the individual and also, at times, to others that are involved in the equations.

Transit Midpoints are very significant when deciphering potential events especially events tied to situations that are suggested by the natal midpoints and the houses involved in the equation.   As mentioned, use an orb of no more than one degree when deciphering what potential situations may occur.  Midpoints are significant because they will provide the Astrologer with a clearer indication of what potential lies within the bounds of these transfigurations.

This can also be applied to any midpoint of any combination found in the natal chart, as the midpoint becomes a focal point when transits or progression join up and make contact with these sensitive points.  In most cases when the conjunction is activated between the two planets or significant points and the aspect is direct within one minute, you can expect something to happen.

The house location of the midpoint will provide you with the area of life affected.  Also, look at the houses the two bodies are located within in the natal chart to provide an even clearer picture.  Also take into consideration what the planets represent and how this area of life will be affected.

For example, the Moon and Uranus and Mars would suggest an emotional experience that would be sudden and unexpected with the potential for aggressive action or progressive movement in the areas of life indicated.

Midpoints can pinpoint events although the more angles involved, the harder it is to delineate.  Using the midpoint between the two planets is often sufficed in providing additional information. 

When dealing with midpoints, pay particular attention to the midpoints between the Sun and the Moon, and the Ascendant and the Midheaven.

THE END RESULT

After a life of many gains and many losses lying on our death bed, what would we anticipate our last thoughts to be? 

Which of our accomplishments will still hold significance? 

Will we be focused on our accomplishments?  

As we draw our last breath, what will matter most?

Many individuals strive throughout their lives to attain material gains, to achieve, to be recognized....to gain acknowledgement and approval.  Will any of these have any importance at the end? 

Does a wealthy individual carry forward any type of spiritual prosperity from a life of material gain?  What is their legacy? We are not saying that they will not.  What could that spiritual prosperity be?

As an individual, what do we want our legacy to be?   How do we want to be remembered?

If we live long enough to retire, anything that was significant and had meaning in our working world is left behind.  What we did, the authority that we had is fleeting upon retirement.  Our accomplishments may be remembered by some but the individual person is soon forgotten.  We may have created beneficial changes within the business that will serve those that follow us but we personally, as an individual, will never be known to those that come after us. 

Is this important? 

What are your thoughts on this? 

What do these questions stir up in you? 

It is not our purpose here to place judgement on material wealth.  The purpose of this post is to invoke thought......deep thought.   

What will your last thoughts be and what will you be remembered for?

Is it actually important to be remembered?

TRANSITING JUPITER TRINE NATAL PLUTO

The position of Pluto in the natal chart is where you can expect major transformations, power struggles, deep penetrating insight, sexual overtones and potential regeneration.  Changes take place in these areas of life and in many cases, there is not too much you can do about it.  It is always best not to try to override Pluto’s energies. 

Pluto often brings an end to conditions in order for something new to be activated.

Jupiter is about insight and expanded energies.  Under most conditions Jupiter in transit offers up opportunities to succeed, growth through exploration and optimistic feelings.  In many cases it is as though everything is going our way and it may happen on its own but if not then a little push may be all that is required. 

In its lesson form, Jupiter brings over-optimism and extravagance.  This may be true of almost anything that Jupiter touches.

Trines speak of easy flow and opportunities for success or good luck; however, in rare cases, if for example, someone has been quite sick for some time, trines can cause things to move ahead with little resistance.  Little resistance is what trines speak about.  Trines are what we wait for in life and in most cases, Jupiter’s energies are certainly worth the wait. 

Pluto and Jupiter together may indicate a potential for growth and good fortunes as long as ego and power struggles do not become part of the process.  Pluto may indicate someone in a position of power and authority although this is often Saturn’s domain.  Pluto can cause ego disputes and in turn cause arguments and disruption (but not normally with the trine aspect).  It might be more like good luck and recognition or potential positive transformation that might push us up the corporate ladder of success if this is business oriented.  Pluto with Jupiter will likely create some opportunities to move forward in life and raising the bar might not be a bad idea.  Who knows where this might take us.

Much will depend on the houses involved in our personal Astrology chart, as well as other aspects to this position.  Making changes is often what this aspect is about.  Improve life not only for yourself but also for others.  Pluto carries a lot of weight and we might be surprised at what we can do now.  Sometimes these opportunities for change affect us on a very personal level, so we should make sure that we use these energies to the best of our abilities. 

If Jupiter goes into retrograde we might have several opportunities as it passes over the same position or planet in our chart usually up to three times.  What doesn’t work the first time might very well work better the second and then finalize the situation on its final or third pass.

NEW MOON SEPTEMBER 28 2019

We will be experiencing a New Moon on September 28 at 2:27 p.m. EDT. 

A New Moon’s energies relate to beginning new projects regardless of what that project might look like.  This could be repairing a relationship or beginning a new one.  It could be about starting a business or facilitating growth for a business you are already in.  It could also relate to personal changes or changing careers or thinking about retirement or planning a holiday.  The possibilities are endless.

The placement of this New Moon will be in the sign of Libra at 5 degrees and these energies often speak of relationships.  It speaks of the need for balance and harmony in these relationships, but also speaks of fairness and duty.  Much will depend on what house this New Moon falls in your chart and any aspects it makes to planets or angles (especially MC/ASC) in your personal chart.  This will define what area of life these balancing energies need adjusting and once you deal with these adjustments there could be a significant unfolding.  It should be noted that the planets or angles will need to be within 3 degrees of this lunar position to have an impact in your life.

Venus is the ruling planet of Libra and Venus is also the planet of love and affection as well as material goods particularly those that are ascetically pleasing to the eye.  Some individuals may be thinking about buying a car or refurnishing the home or even buying a new home at this time.  These will be avenues to explore.  Having a look into the energies associated by aspects from other planets within the natal chart to this position will provide you with more information specific to you.

Transiting Uranus is closely in quincunx to this lunar positioning at five degrees Taurus.  Uranus is about sudden and unexpected change and at times can be disruptive.  It speaks about finding a new path or moving in a new and more desirable direction.  Uranus can be abrupt in its actions and is somewhat unpredictable.  Sometimes we have a choice in what takes place; other times it just seems to happen.  A quincunx is about adjusting to the energies in play.  Our attitude also plays an important role in what unfolds.

Try to take your time and study what energies are in place in your chart.  Make plans to move forward, but have a little restraint.  Never jump unless the situation calls for it.  Harmony and peace should be high on the agenda.  We must always be fair.  Libra is a balancing sign, not a balanced sign.  It seeks nothing more than fairness and justice for all through gentle persuasion.  Weighing things out according to the best possible approach which offers the best possible outcome should be what you are striving to achieve or deliver.

BREAK FREE

What holds you back?  Do you hold onto ideologies that could be detrimental to your growth or progress?  Do you accept inherited concepts and ideas without question? 

Many of us have openly accepted concepts passed down without question and we have taken them on as our own.  Our concepts are based on ideas that we have been set before us.  Because they have been accepted in the past, some of us may have never questioned them.

These ideas can certainly include what we conceive is attainable as an individual, physically, emotionally and mentally.   We incorrectly judge our worth based on standards we or someone before us has placed on us.  By doing so, we put limits on all that could be and I mean ALL.

Our conditions change as we set new standards through our focus and beliefs about ourselves.  We can become lost in this search or tethered to judgements that were handed to us as children.  If we release the wanting and searching, we would recognize that all we search for is already part of who we are.

Everything we want for ourselves is available but we hold ourselves back through our belief structures and the programming we have received in the past.  Go beyond the confines of what we consider attainable for this specific time in our lives.  We search and “want” relentlessly.  We do not recognize that it is the wanting and searching that is inhibiting our recognition of who we truly are. 

What is, is as a result of our belief structures.   If we do not want limits, we cannot place limits on anything.  We facilitate this change in accordance to what we believe.  Taking control or at least understanding the control that we have in the process begins a spiral of change that is more in line with where we choose to be in our lives. 

Following instinct through love and allowance, we can push forward accepting that the moment is the real goal and what is, is determined by that moment.....nothing more and nothing less.

Judgement, desire, fear, despair, etc. are always a result of previous conditions.  In finding the now, we let go of any thoughts pertaining to our potential future or our past experiences that hold us prisoner.  Living in the moment requires nothing further.  Recognize, experience, and enjoy this moment!  Nothing else is real.......

TRANSITING PLUTO SQUARE NATAL SUN

Transiting Pluto is currently in the sign of Capricorn and will move into the sign of Aquarius in January of 2024.  Due to its retrograde motion, it will not  go into Aquarius and remain there until November 2024. 

Those that are born with their Sun in Libra or with their Sun in Aries from approximately 18 to 29 degrees will be experiencing a square in their birth charts, at one point or another.  Remember, check the house position of transiting Pluto, the house position of your natal Sun and the house cusp that is ruled by Scorpio to get a clearer picture of what areas of life are affected by this aspect.

Pluto is known to purge and to assist in uncovering different facets of life.  It helps you to uncover information that needs an honest review and then expects that you make appropriate changes as necessary.  Pluto often brings an end to conditions in order for something new to emerge.  

Pluto in the square aspect often produces challenging conditions and also stimulates action particularly when it comes to your goals in life and who you are as an individual.

Pluto will test your resolve and your self-control.  Its energies will push you ahead in life when it comes to ambition.  Pluto can be somewhat relentless as it moves through the areas of life represented by the house positions involved.  There is often power struggles as your “will” is being tested.  If you force your opinions on others during this time, you will more than likely experience much opposition.  If, however, you are working for the general good for those involved, you may find that you do not have much disagreement coming from outside sources. 

The Sun deals with your life’s objectives and the will to move ahead.  The ego is stimulated during transits to the Sun and it will seem very important to have things right.  There will be those that are opposed to your objectives, but you must stand strong in the face of opposition and follow what you believe in, unless of course you are not allowing others to provide you with necessary information. 

If you try to avoid what this aspect is attempting to convey to you, life might challenge you through more difficult conditions and force you into action.  Pluto is relentless and its lessons are necessary.  Best to move forward on your own then to have Pluto force the change.

Under extreme conditions (this would only apply if there are other factors in the chart suggesting the same overall picture), you may find that you feel over-burdened and that you cannot continue along the same path.  This can lead to nervous disorders and an undoing of sorts which can be hard to put back together.  If by chance you fit into this category, seriously consider seeking professional assistance as a little assistance would make this aspect easier to handle. 

Although squares are always considered challenging, it is up to us to handle these energies and take whatever action is appropriate for the situation.  Fighting these energies creates difficulty; recognizing the need for change and moving on this recognition, creates a  much easier flow.

This transit is in place to build character and strength.  The energies can be used to assist you in many ways.

TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

Some of us sit and wait for the perfect time to move on our goals.  We feel as though there is plenty of time to get things done and do not think in terms of time restrictions or delays.  We believe we always have tomorrow and what will not get done today will certainly wait until tomorrow.  There is no urgency.  There is no rush.  There is plenty of time.

We always have tomorrow even if we pass from this world today.  We are energy - a current of life that never ceases.  If we did not accomplish something in this life time, we were not meant to.  If we did not learn the lessons to their full extent, we will enjoy the lesson again in some other form or another. 

Life is perpetual but does that mean that we should wait or procrastinate? 

I think not!  We are here to live so live we should.  Our greatest potential lies within this very moment that we are currently experiencing.  Should we waste it?  Again, I think not!

There is no greater opportunity than now.  All we have is this very moment.  There is truly no time like the present.  To state this even more precisely, there is only this time at the present. 

We waste prospects by sitting back and waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself. 

It is said that some things are worth waiting for but does this insinuate inaction?  Perhaps we simply need time to prepare.  If this is the case, utilize this time doing exactly that….preparing.  Perhaps the timing just does not feel right, then let’s use our intuition but do not procrastinate.  There is a difference.

If we feel we should move forward with our objective now, then undoubtedly we should.  If we feel now is not the time, then perhaps we should wait.  Perhaps this intuition is telling us that we have not done all of the necessary prep work before moving forward. 

If, however, we have been putting something off for a long time and we keep making excuses as to why we should not move ahead, it is certainly time to examine why.  The only thing to fear is fear itself.  Do not let fear dictate.  If it is fear of failure or a feeling of never being totally prepared, it might just be time to rise above these fears and take that plunge.

We are never at the mercy of life, although we are often at the mercy of our beliefs.  We must not let fear stand in the way of our progress and cannot let fear stop us from reaching our goals.  The biggest regrets we may have are regrets of inaction.  We know instinctively when the time is right if we remove fear and doubt.
