<< Technique: Sun/Aries
Point Midpoints>>
see current Sun/Aries midpoints below

One of the simplest
methods to examine what a day will bring is the degree of the transiting
Sun-Aries Point midpoint. (And I’ll
list a current table of them below.)
But you will also find that pictures to both the radix Sun/Aries Point
degree and to the solar arc directed Sun/Aries Point midpoint are
worthwhile. To give you a bit of
experience with this, print this chart (that of Yoko Ono, b. February 18, 1933,
8:30 pm JST, Tokyo, Japan) so you can
work with it. Notice that the inner rim
holds directions; the mid rim is radix factors; and the outer points are
transits for December 8, 1980 at 11:07 pm—when her husband, John Lennon, having
been shot at 10:49 pm in New York, was
pronounced
dead.
The radix Sun/Aries
doesn’t change, so what you look for are patterns of directions and transits to
that degree. You see that the directed
Vertex (relationship) and directed Orpheus (loss) have reached that radix
Sun/Aries degree.
The solar arc Sun/Aries
has reached natal Ascendant covered by transit Saturn and = natal Chiron (so
you assume a difficult turning point.)
Transiting Pluto with directed Requiem likewise = the directed
Sun/Aries, as does the transit Orpheus/natal Mars/Saturn—and more.
The transit Sun/Aries =
directed Juno (partner) and Anubis (death.)
Directed Asc/natal Pluto also = this transiting Sun/Aries midpoint.
If you apply a working
dial to this chart, you will find many more pictures to each of the Sun/Aries
Point midpoints. (If you don’t have a
working dial, let me know!)
This chart was used in
the May 2009 issue of “Tools of the Trade” to explore formulas and midpoints
associated with widowhood (and in two additional charts).
For instance, the directed formula: Saturn +
Requiem – Moon = 24 Aquarius 01. The
axis of that degree includes her radix MC, radix Chiron, directed Mars and
Grieve, and the transit Sun. The radix
formula, Mars + Saturn – Juno = 19 Sag 02.
The directed Ascendant has moved into that axis. It’s interesting that it = that 05 Aq
eclipse, isn’t it? The radix
Moon/Grieve midpoint is in 19 Scorpio… as is transiting Orpheus! One of the Witte formulas for the death of a
marriage partner is Jupiter + Cupido – Saturn.
Natally, it’s 11 Aries 39; by direction, it’s 29 Taurus 21. With the radix Sun in 29 Aquarius 23, you
can see that the directed formula has reached the natal Sun.
As you work with the
chart, you will notice that radix Moon = radix Orpheus, and for the time of
Lennon’s death, transit Moon = transit Orpheus. Such repeats or echoes are common.
You might also want to
give consideration to the themes established by the year’s eclipses—and their
relevance to natal, directed and transit factors. (The factors shown on the chart have been stripped down to make
it easier to notice those energies associated with relationship and loss.)
So now that you see some
of the ways to use the axis of the Sun/Aries Point midpoint, here’s a list of
that transiting midpoint (given for every
second day) through mid-August:

These are average
figures per 12:00 pm in Wapiti, Wyoming.
For more exact work, calculate them (which only means to divide the
transiting Sun by 2.) Remember to use
the complete dial axis of the midpoint.
Extracting a full midpoint structure to the Sun/Aries midpoint yields
fuller, more detailed information.
Another technique
queries the chart regarding the personal effect of a day through the formula:
Sun-transit + Asc-natal – Sun-natal = _____
The axis of the formula result is then examined (and natal, directed and
transit factors are included in the delineation.)
