About Zane B Stein Expertise I WILL BE HAPPY TO answer questions about astrology in general, the meanings of planets, signs, houses, aspects, asteroids, Chiron, etc. I use Western, Tropical Astrology. Please do not ask me questions about Vedic Astrology as I am not an expert on this.
I WILL NOT ANSWER PERSONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL CHART, such as "Will I get rich?" or "Will I get married?", or "Are we compatible?" I do have a private astrological practice, and if you need to ask those type of questions, contact me privately and we`ll discuss a possible astrologer/client relationship. Also, I cannot answer questions about Vedic Astrology, or Chinese Astrology.
Also, astrology is NOT "What is my lucky stone?" or "What is my lucky color?" or "What are my lucky numbers?" Any astrologer who gives you a lucky object, or number, based on your chart, is not a real astrologer, but someone who is giving in to superstition. In order to find out how to enhance your luck, you need to have an astrologer look at your whole chart, and tell you what areas you need to focus upon, how to accent your positives, and work to resolve any problems that exist.
Experience I've been involved with astrology since 1969, taught classes on several occasions, written a number of articles and one book, and lectured around the USA, in Canada, Great Britain, Scotland and Ireland.

Expert: Zane B Stein Date: 1/25/2008 Subject: synastry aspects between midpoints
Question Does an aspect between a midpoint in one person's chart (for example VE/MA MP) to the midpoint of the same kind (VE/MA MP) has any meaning? For example I noticed in such kind of midpoint synastry between two persons many conjunctions and squares between their midpoints of the same kind. Does it has any special meaning and what it could be?
Answer Thank you for your excellent question, Predrag.
My answer is no...and yes.
First, the no:
Midpoints have no independent existence. If you look at an individual's chart, there are many, many midpoints. The person has an ongoing set of experiences with in their life tied into every midpoint that has a natal planet in hard aspect to it (conjunction, square, and opposition, and to a lesser extent, semi-square and sesquiquadrate.)
If a person has no hard aspect to a particular aspect, then it lies as if dormant until one of a few things occurs, which I will get to shortly.
If a person has two sets of midpoints near each other, they still do not activate each other. They are all pretty much dormant...again until something activates them.
Think of the midpoints as the union of two types of energy.
But the energy is not channeled if there is no hard aspect to it...it just 'is'.
And if two people meet, and they have midpoints linked up, but no hard aspects from one chart to the midpoint in the other chart....then energy just 'is'. There is no energy transfer, because nothing is activating the midpoints in either chart.
What can channel the midpoint energy when there is no natal aspect to it? One of the following:
Either a planet transits in hard aspect to it, or a progressed planet makes a hard aspect to it. At this time, the energies represented by that planet are activated by the
transit or progression, and the person feels them come alive, so to speak.
If the person has two sets of midpoints coinciding, then the transit or progression actives both sets at same time, and there is a blending of four types of energy tapped by the transit or progression. (Some people may have three, or even
more, midpoints near each other, but the principle is the same.)
So here comes the YES.
EVERY TIME a transit hits the midpoints in one chart, it will hit the midpoint in the other. Transits will activate these energies, bringing about shared experiences.
EVERY TIME one of them experiences a progression aspecting the midpoints, they will go through a period of connectedness related to this.
And finally, EVERY TIME the couple meets another person who has a planet in hard aspect to the mutual midpoints, the couple will share a reaction for good or bad to this person.
