Midpoint [Prima]

The point on the zodiac midway between two planets is the midpoint of those planets. When this midpoint is aspected by another planet, the [symbolism] of the two planets making up that midpoint will combine to influence the meaning of the aspecting planet, even though none of the planets involved actually aspects one of the other two.

The use of midpoints is central to both Cosmobiology and Uranian astrology, and in recent years other astrologers have also begun paying close attention to these important halfway points.

Midpoint [DeVore]

An unoccupied aspected degree between and equidistant from two other planets, resulting in a symmetrical grouping, sometimes called a planetary picture. Such configurations are deemed important by some authorities, although there is some difference of opinion as to the width of orbs across which there can result a "transference of light" through the planet which aspects the Midpoint.
