Midpoint (astrology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midpoints are points exactly midway between two planets. According to astrology, in the midpoint the energy of the two planets comes together.[1]
Midpoints was first used by Guido Bonati (1123-1300) to refine timings in an event chart. However, midpoints were used to calculate Arabian Points, like part of fortune even as far back as 300 b.c. Alfred Witte was the first person to do a lot of investigation on midpoints using movable dials and together with Ludwig Rudolph and Herman Lefeldt formed the Hamburg School and the technique was called the Uranian Astrology. [2] Then, Reinhold Ebertin in his book "Combination of Stellar influences" included psychological principles and simplified the midpoint technique used by the hamburg school.
