rather the burden is upon you to provide a rationale for not using midpoints, which are a direct result of the Axel Harvey Mathemetical Formula of Astrological Functions. For the rest, I do not think that the complexity of the local world is to be reduced merely to some psychological topoi, which in themselves are merely cultural artefacts.

Midpoints are basic combinations of any 3 planets or points where one is in the center between two others. There is a common misunderstanding about the nature of midpoints. They are not just some extra, additional placements on the chart. To the contrary, they don’t change components, THEY ENHANCE THEIR MEANING. We have to remember that different meanings and interpretations apply to midpoints on the natal chart, and are different than directions and/or transiting midpoints (or midpoints in transit).
> >From all applications, the most important midpoints are those on the natal chart: The adjacent (bordering) planets define in a more precise way the meaning of the central one. In their unique combinations they describe the individual character of each specific factor. In this way midpoints allow for a more precise and more personal interpretation. At the same time midpoints function as aspects indicating influence and the sequence of influences that are subject to early conditioning. Close midpoints within a narrow orb usually not exceeding a couple of degrees (1percent of the wave), may also be interpreted as harmonic “conjunctions” or harmonic “oppositions,” planets that are or close together or opposite each other on the harmonic chart. Let us take as an example a combination of three planets from a horoscope: Here we have Mercury, Moon and Saturn (counting counterclockwise) when Moon is the center planet. THIS WHOLE COMBINATION THEN RELATES TO MOON, and it explains the MEANING of this particular planet in her particular surrounding. Mercury (mind, mental faculties) is stimulating emotions Moon (triggers emotional impulses, mood, in relation to the process of mind); emotions in turn are subject to control and restrictions in their expression by Saturn (reason, sensibility). The possible outcome is a self-limiting of to the person’s own ideas and desires, shows caution, deliberation, a tendency to contemplation or simply a lack of confidence. Looking for cause we have to remember that the Moon in a personal horoscope brings some information about the mother of a subject. This horoscope is also an event chart of a mother! Here we have a picture of her probable emotional stress and feelings of insecurity. While to a child the most important thing is security, warm and caring surroundings (a well balanced emotionally, happy mother), this particular planetary combination is suggesting otherwise, that mother was somewhat too absorbed with her own situation as a result of the birth and (most likely) her relationship (Moon/Saturn is a reference to mother and father), to be able to provide a feeling of safety.

Here the midpoint of Moon is equally spaced with the difference of less than half of degree. This is an acceptable orb for any midpoint. This spacing is also an indicator of time that in addition is relevant to this planet: ten degrees both ways from the Moon position would equal approximately ten years of life, and will suggest that this was a significant time in the life of the individual. Here we see the possibility of the lack of support from home, from family (sometimes this can mean a lack of home), support that was much needed at the time (this whole pattern will be again active as directions at the age of approximately twenty years of life, bringing similarities to the life of individual). The sequence of this midpoint is one more factor to be taken into consideration. Mind (Mercury) stimulates emotions (Moon), but common sense (Saturn) is bringing this to a stop. A much different interpretation will be with the same pattern but in a reverse sequence. This is only one example of a possible Moon midpoint. On the original chart we have more planets involved, and in this case we also have the combination of Moon = Mercury/Saturn ; which will have also to be integrated also into the whole Moon picture.

Well, Patrice, that statement is ONLY opinion and contains no content other than opinion. I'd like to see something like an argument before the judgement, your honor. As you know, the intent of this list is to get people to justify their claims.

If horary is so trivial then dismissing it by use of logical argument should be easy. I'm listening.

Easy to say, harder to prove. You've only provided a list of opinions and no reasoning.
