Sun-Moon midpoints are so interesting. It’s essentially the balanced blend of energies between two planets. For the Sun-Moon midpoint specifically, it is the blend of the external and internal energies. Your midpoints often shows a sense of comfort in natal chart, and it could perhaps be the “spot” you’re striving for when it comes to balancing certain planetary energies.
But what’s interesting is the relationship between the Sun-Moon midpoint and the planets involved to make that midpoint. Note that midpoints, like aspects, are calculated using the exact degrees, or location of the planets in the natal chart. Only major aspects between the Sun and Moon will be discussed.
To clarify, these situations will not occur unless you have other planets that are conjunct to your Sun-Moon midpoint or if you encounter someone whose planets are conjunct to your Sun-Moon midpoint. The Sun-Moon midpoint is a sensitive, but passive point on your natal chart that will not be activated unless it makes an aspect to a planet.
For those with a Sun conjunct Moon aspect, their Sun-Moon midpoint will be conjunct to the Sun and Moon. This means that the Sun-Moon midpoint will function neutrally with the planets involved. However, this neutral energy is strong, for this energy can either go for better or worse. A conjunction is seen to be a union or fusion between two planets, and the Sun-Moon midpoint proves this point further, for it does represent a fusion of energies between two planets. Example: Sun in Gemini conjunct Moon in Gemini. The Sun-Moon midpoint is in Gemini.
For those with a Sun opposing Moon aspect, their Sun-Moon midpoint will be square to the Sun and Moon. This means that the Sun-Moon midpoint will function uncomfortably with the individual planets involved. While the native can feel comfortable with the energies of the Sun-Moon midpoint, they feel like this comfort doesn’t show a genuine sense of who they are externally and internally. There is a simultaneously comfortable, but unsettling block with expressing the self. Example: Sun in Aries opposing Moon in Libra. The Sun-Moon midpoint is in Capricorn.
For those with a Sun trine Moon aspect, their Sun-Moon midpoint will be sextile to the Sun and Moon. This means that the Sun-Moon midpoint will function harmoniously with the planets involved in the sense that the environment to express such energies will be favorable. While the means of expression is different, the environment of expression is the same. This shows that the expression of energies will flow freely. Example: Sun in Scorpio trine Moon in Cancer. The Sun-Moon midpoint is in Virgo.
For those with a Sun sextile Moon aspect, their Sun-Moon midpoint will be semisextile to the planets in involved. A semisextile aspect can give a neutral aspect that can bring annoyance or clarity to the native. The native may feel that the Sun-Moon midpoint is very much a balance point in the sense that it provides something different. Those with a Sun sextile Moon aspect often express their energies in the same polarity, but the Sun-Moon midpoint provides an opportunity in the sense that it will present a different polarity, a different environment to express. Example: Sun in Capricorn sextile Moon in Pisces. The Sun-Moon midpoint is in Aquarius.
For those with a Sun square Moon aspect, their Sun-Moon midpoint will be semisquare to the planets involved. With a semisquare, there is indeed a tension that the native can struggle to overcome. With a semisquare, one planet will be sextile strictly in terms of the signs while the other sign will be semisextile strictly in terms of the signs. While the sextile and semisextile are harmonious and neutral respectively, this mixture can often result in confusion. This means that one planet may work better than the other, but with this, the disfunction between the other planet can bring a block to the planet working harmoniously with the midpoint. Example: Sun in Cancer square Moon in Aries. The Sun-Moon midpoint is in Taurus.
