One of new proposals in the twentieth century in astrology will be the system of HALF-SUM or mid-point
that was introduced by Reinhold Ebertin (1901-1988) of Hamburg, Germany. His famous book of
Cosmobiology was translated in to English under the title of The Combination of Stellar Influences.
Although the hypothetical planets have been widely found in the Chinese systems of fortune telling
arts, some people in the studies on astrology have been in a fun to employ the similar arts except for
the Dragon Head and Tail that are mathematically calculated on the orbit factors of the Moon existed.
Among them, Ebertin has established new system that has neither the house system nor the hypothetical
planet in the astrological prediction proposed.
You will be invited to learn the Ebertin system of HALF-SUM in
separate pages, however, this
author indicates a typical case in the combination of planets that will be found in the affinity study by
his system proposed. According to him, planet Jupiter will be beneficial to soothe out a difficulty while planet
Neptune will disturb a clear solution in maleficent connotation. Disregarding the traditional definition in the
astrology, the planet Saturn that has been the worst maleficent planet will not be so bad but only to indicate
a slow dawn of speed in solution met.
The function of planet Jupiter will be almighty in finding the best solution
of difficulties, however, this planet may indicate the time of death for a person who will not be recovered from
an incurable disease encountered. This will be a good advice given by Ebertin to an easy attitude of a fortune
teller who will tell a momentary sweet word to the client visited.
