RE: The Jupiter|Pluto Axis - Massive Success

May 5, 2003

Dear Shri. Rath,

Thx for your message. I am very happy that you have shown interest in midpoint

astrology. I will be most happy to answer based on whatever I know.

Just to begin with - personal points are those points which make a chart unique,

i.e, Ascendent (lagna), Midheaven (dasham bhava arambha), Descendent (saptama

bhava), and IC (chaturtha bhava arambha). There are some more personal points.

They are East Point, vertex, Co-ascendents and Polar Asc ( but I dont use them).

The basic premise of the midpoint astrology is that the planetary enegries are

fused at points midway between two planets. So if Sun is 0 Aries and Moon is 0

Libra then the Sun and Moon midpoint is formed at 0 Cancer and 0 Capricorn. The

midpoint of Sun and Moon is written as Sun|Moon which is referred relationship

axis. Invariably any outer planet (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) making a

contact ( conjunction, oppostion, square, semi-sqaure, sesquisquare) with

Sun|Moon midpoint indicate relationship problems. In simple words the marriage

under goes acid test for these natives...

In midpoint astrology, signs are NOT used in the interpretation. They are

calculated and used for refering to the postions of the midpoints.

If you search net on the key words - Reinhold Ebrtin, 90 degree dial, midpoint

astrology then you will find more information. "Combination of Steller

Influences" by Reinhold Ebertin is bible in midpoint interpretation. It is

popularly known as COSI.

I hope this helps to trigger your interest further in midpoint astrology...

Regards

Rajeev Upadhye

Dear Rajeev

What is midpoint astrology? What are personal points? Is this the Lagna sphuta.

What do you use for dasama bhava sphuta?

The tropical zodiac at best, can be used to predict natural events like rainfall

or weather as per one reading of the Vishnu Purana. I don't think this applies

to manushya jatak (human births). The tropical zodiac is used by those who did

not know that the solar system also revolves around a center called Visnhu

nabhi (others call it Brahma nabhi) causing the ayanamsa. Fortunately we know

about it.

With best wishes & regards,

I remain

Sanjay Rath

[vedic astrology] The Jupiter|Pluto Axis - Massive SuccessThe Jupiter|Pluto

Axis - Massive SuccessIn midpoint astrology, the Jupiter|Pluto axis is referred

to as the axis of"massive success". However, the Jupiter|Pluto midpoint is

present in allindividuals and any planet that makes a contact by conjunction,

opposition,square, semi or sesqui square with this midpoint is important in

determiningquality of success. For example Jupiter|Pluto=Saturn is not

necessarilymassive success but it is successful separation or successful

constraints.The axis becomes prominent if any of the personal points (asc, mc)

or Sunand/or Moon are in contact with Jupiter|Pluto. Such people normally

enjoyabove average success in their life.The contacts made by the transiting

Jupiter|Pluto midpoint to personalpoints (asc, mc) or Sun and/or Moon indicate

good luck in general.In the month of May 2003, the transiting Jupiter|Pluto

midpoint moves from14Libra22 to 15Lib48. Thus check if any of your natal

planets or points fallat the above positions as well as at 14Can22 to 15Cap48

(tropical). There isdefinitely good luck in store for you.Note: The above

principle should not be used in isolation.Transits anddirections must be

considered in totality while deciding the indications oftransiting

Jupiter|Pluto axis.Rajeev

Dear Shri Rath,

The Midpoint astrology uses 8th harmonic extensively.

Harmonic astrology is the branch of astrology that extends the aspects, and more

recently the signs and houses beyond the threshold of the factors of 12.

Traditional western astrology uses 6 basic aspects, the divisions of the wheel

into twelfths, sixths, fourths, thirds, halves and wholes to paint its picture

of the human psyche and the human condition. Harmonic astrology uses these and

adds other integer divisions as well. The system I use distinguishes all

integer divisions through 24. All fractions having a denominator of 24 and

below producing 180 aspects altogether.

The harmonic families are based upon prime numbers, as follows: 1,2,3,5,7,11,13.

The fact that harmonic natures are derived from a handful of prime numbers

means that to use the 180 aspects of a twenty-fourth harmonic set, one need

learn only four "new" families of aspects. A "harmonic series" is a set of

aspects within one harmonic family (like the five family) that also share the

same denominator (such as the 15 series). Within each harmonic family, there

may be more than one harmonic "series," such as the 9 series is a part of the

third harmonic family. This is a secondary level of detail that can be

mastered over time.

Because harmonic astrology goes back to the ancient mathematical roots of

divinatory systems, it is able to find explanations for things that have just

become accepted practices in astrology, and make them more useful. For

example, which orbs to use when, how planets combine into planetary pictures,

why do Arabian parts and anti-scions work? Why are midpoints sometimes an

extremely powerful technique, and other times quite disappointing? Harmonic

astrology goes back to the mathematical thinking that was used when

astrological thought was first formulated and recorded, and thinks it through

again for a computer age, adding precision and accuracy.

The "harmonic" in "harmonic astrology" comes from the fact that harmonic

astrology explicitly uses acoustic metaphors as one of its means of

understanding how astrology works. When you divide a string, even one

stretched around a spherical instrument, as the ecliptic is figuratively

stretched around the earth, the tones produced will have a relationship to the

original tone. The fundamental tone is the conjunction. It is the basis of all

of the other aspects and contains within itself all the symbolism that can be

expressed by a chart or by a person. The conjunction is the beginning and the

ending. It is the moment of simultaneous fullness and emptiness. The written

interpretations of the various combinations of planets and chart factors come

originally from the literature of astrology which originates in the Sumerian

'farmer almanacs' of which there are several examples dating from 1600 B.C. The

process since then and continuing to the present day is to study, observe, and

adjust the recorded information of the scholars of the past to more accurately

reflect the life and times of the present. Much of the combinations of three

planets come from the work of the Arabic and Hindu astrologers.

The "Witte definitions" are not those of Witte alone. There were many many many

students involved in the experimentation and creation and discovery and

development of the hypothetical "Uranian" planets. To begin with, Alfred Witte

never wrote a single line about Pluto, Apollon, Admetos, Vulcanus, or Poseidon.

Witte did not want any of the planets of Sieggruen to be used at all. Witte

managed a group of scholars among them Frederich Sieggruen, Hans Niggemann,

Herman Lefeldt.

Harmonic astrology, despite the fact that it reaches back to the beginnings of

astrology, is still a place where the astrologer can find a frontier in

astrological thought. Just as Western musicians are just beginning to discover

the possibilities with their expanded palette, western astrologers are just

beginning to learn their way around in this new territory. I guess that's what

attracts me most about harmonic astrology, why I never seem to tire of learning

more - it's a part of the practice of astrology where new contributions and

discoveries are still being made.
