Intervals are an important and useful tool in astrology, used to interpret the relationships between the planets in the natal chart. Essentially, the midpoint is the point that lies exactly in the middle between two planets or other significant points (such as the house cusps) in the zodiac.
For example, if a person's Sun is at 10 degrees of Aries and the Moon at 10 degrees of Gemini, the interval between the Sun and Moon will be at 25 degrees of Taurus. This sign can be interpreted to give additional information about the person's personality and life, if there are other planets or signs (e.g. ascendant or midheaven, etc.) activating it.
The use of midpoints has a long history in astrology and has evolved over time:
In ancient astrology, astrologers already paid attention to the geometric relationships between the planets, such as aspects. However, the use of interspaces as we know them today was not particularly well developed. Ancient astrologers focused mainly on the basic aspects (conjunctions, squares, triangles, hexagons, opposites).
The Middle Ages and the Renaissance
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, astrologers began to explore more of the complex geometric relationships in the zodiac. Although the concept of interspaces was not yet fully developed, the understanding of the interaction of the planets was constantly being enriched. Let us not forget that at that time the divination arts were a taboo, even a "threat" to the power of the church.
20th Century
The real development of the use of interspaces in astrology came in the 20th century, particularly with the work of Reinhold Ebertin, a German astrologer and physician. Ebertin developed the Cosmobiological Systems method, which is largely based on the use of interspaces to interpret the natal chart.
Ebertin published many works on interspaces, which were widely accepted in the astrological community. His work helped to establish the practice of using interspaces as one of the key tools for analysis and prediction in astrology.
Some Key Intervals and Their Importance
Sun / Moon
The Sun/Moon midpoint is considered the most important, as it combines the two main personality energies: the masculine (Sun) and the feminine (Moon). It shows the balance point between the conscious self and emotional needs. The sign and degree of the midpoint must be taken into account, since it not only reveals elements of the personality, but also the planets that activate it become more important.
Moon / Venus
This in-between is associated with love, beauty and art. It can indicate a desire for personal expression through relationships, caring, love and aesthetics. Very often, when the midpoint is in this midpoint, the natal promise of having children is enhanced.
Sun / Mars
The Sun/Mars midpoint is about action, energy and power. It reveals where and how the person is likely to show aggression or take the initiative. When activated by cacergetes (Mars, Saturn or even extra-cacergetes), there is an increased tendency towards violent or subversive events.
Sun/Jupiter
This interval is associated with growth, prosperity and optimism. It can indicate areas in life where the individual may be fortunate and seek expansion. Activation from ambitious planets, such as Venus, Saturn or Pluto, often gives social advancement, or marriage despite any difficulties in the rest of the horoscope.
Ascendant/Mesophemeris
It is an interlude of destiny. The planets that activate it are able to describe the basic concept of a person's life. Obviously, people who have Venus or their lot in the Ascendant/Midheaven midpoint are luckier than someone who has Mars, Pluto or Saturn. On the other hand, the latter category has a better chance of success since the 1st paradigm has little tendencies of laziness.
Application of the Intervals
Today, midpoints are widely used in various branches of astrology, including natal charts, synastry, progressive astrology and event astrology. Astrologers look to midpoints to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between planets and to reveal additional information that may not be apparent through traditional aspects.
Intervals offer a deeper and more complex approach to the analysis of planetary relationships. From ancient astrology to modern 20th century techniques, the evolution and application of interspaces show how important they are for understanding the details and nuances of human personality and events. Used correctly, midpoints can add depth and accuracy to astrological interpretations, helping us to better understand ourselves and others.
