Please forgive me Traditional Astrologers while I am not new to astrology I am still learning Traditional methods and I am wondering if "Midpoints" are used here? I did try a search before starting a thread with no results.

Thanks guys!

But remember that Traditional
(including Hellenist)
astrology has also provided important material
which, having been forgotten (or abandoned) during the Renaissance/Reformation period,
were taken up again by various Modernist authorities
(and seem, by the way, to continue to be largely neglected still by most of the neo-Traditionalist and neo-Hellenist advocates and practitioners)


For example:
- The tragic Alfred Witte brought back the mid-point concept dating at least to Guido Bonatti;

Ebertin further developed the mid-point concept and methodology


Today is founded upon Yesterday:

no question that Modernist astrology is founded upon oldtime astrology,

but also no question that Modernist astrology has revived valuable oldtime astrological concepts and techniques,
which had become lost and forgotten.

I read that Sahl, a Persian astrologer, wrote about midpoints.

Thanks JupiterAsc, but is that a yes we do use midpoints? Are they indeed helpful in Traditional Natal chart interpretation?
