Midpoints and Planetary Pictures
Midpoint equations, symmetry, dials, and planetary pictures. This guide gives a reproducible rule, worked example, illustrative near miss, and explicit limits.
Overview
Midpoint methods calculate the halfway position between two factors, while planetary pictures and 90° dials apply additional symmetry rules from Uranian and Cosmobiology schools. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: wrapped Sun/Moon midpoint is 0°, and Mars at 1° forms the declared midpoint picture. Verification follows this declared method: Calculate both 0–360° midpoint solutions, declare the dial and modulus, then test whether a third factor contacts the selected midpoint within its own narrow orb.

Definition and exact scope
midpoint methods calculate the halfway position between two factors, while planetary pictures and 90° dials apply additional symmetry rules from Uranian and Cosmobiology schools
Calculation or decision rule
calculate both 0–360° midpoint solutions, declare the dial and modulus, then test whether a third factor contacts the selected midpoint within its own narrow orb
Worked case and illustrative near miss
☉ at 350° and ☽ at 10°; 360° midpoint method; ♂ at 1°; orb cap 1.5°. wrapped Sun/Moon midpoint is 0°, and Mars at 1° forms the declared midpoint picture.
Illustrative near miss: A naive arithmetic midpoint of 180° ignores the 0° crossing and produces the opposite point.
School and variant boundary
Dial, modulus, midpoint equation, point catalog, notation, and orb belong to a named Uranian or Cosmobiology lineage.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate presents Midpoints and Planetary Pictures as a sourced knowledge method and does not claim a dedicated calculator or generated reading for it. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Midpoints and Planetary Pictures cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
