There are many subject matters are left insufficiently studied in the art of astrology during its
long history experienced. People who were zealously studied the cases of retrograded planets
have
paid little attention for the effect of planet that stayed in the period of slow movement observed.
The illustration in the left will indicate the possibility of a longer period of influence formed by
the transiting planet that has passed through two consecutive
STATIONS in the retrograde
movement observed.
Few serious reports on the intensity of the half-sums or mid-points that are compared to the intensity of
aspects
are released. According to the reports given by the most practitioners, the intensity of
aspect would be much stronger than that of given by the half-sum or mid-point. The effective benefic
influence expected in the formation of the half-sum or the mid-point will be found during the period of
NO aspect or the lack of aspect
outside the major aspect in the orb of two degrees. You may enjoy the beneficial half-sum formed in the station of transiting Jupiter encountered.
As the planet Pluto being observed much more in the retrograde motion than the other planets,
the period of contact formation of the half-sum made by the transiting planet Pluto in the station would
be very much often than the formation of contact found in the other planets. The planet Pluto will contribute
anything in excess of indication in either beneficial or maleficent trait formed.
Thus, the result obtained in the half-sums or the midpoints would become much more effective in the contacts
that is formed with the slower outer planets than with the rapid inner bodies. Although the stationed planet in the natal chart might indicate the delayed development, the stationed planet in transit will be useful.
