Understanding the Mars Venus Midpoint in Astrology

The Mars Venus midpoint represents where desire meets action, revealing your passion, charisma, and approach to achieving goals. It influences your sexual nature and life enthusiasm, and can be seen in your relationships and personal drive. This point helps interpret how desire and action combine to shape your passions and conflicts.

This is where desire (Venus) meets action (Mars) and together they make up not only the sexual nature but the charisma (or lack of it) that comes from being able to achieve your goals or be conflicted about them. You find it in your lovers, both real and unrequited, and your general passion for life.

My Venus/Mars midpoint is conjunct with my Sun, which also puts it in conjunction with my Libra Venus, Virgo Mars, and natal Vertex all in the 7th house.

Biquintile Jupiter,
Square Saturn,
Square Uranus,
Semi-Square Pluto,
Square Chiron

Apparently that makes me a narcissist lol.

So, people with the Sun or Ascendant as the midpoint of Venus and Mars tend to be particularly self-obsessed or even narcissistic, as they are literally getting off on their own ego/personality or reflection in the mirror. No fault (though it can be off-putting), and often it's quite a charming effect, as it's just the way it feels to them, and they get rewarded for it.

I don't think there's a chart option for just the midpoints. I read through mine on the Pullen but have recently thought it easier to just calculate them myself since it really isn't difficult, and then I can sort through what I believe to be important or of interest without excess information clutter. Some of these might you give ideas.

Venus 4 Libra
Mars 18 Virgo

so that puts the midpoint at 25 Virgo.

I am 27 Virgo. So that makes a conjunction!

Oh why am I surprised? I just remembered TMV and I are born 3-4 days apart! LOL

I could be very slow, plain stupid or maybe it's just my math dyslexia but is the midpoint then Mercury in Cap 20??06'?! I'm assuming this is supposed to be about the near midpoint.

I'm a Life path 3 and I have a 3rd house Mercury which is probably unrelated to anything to do with midpoints.:s

Mercury: To communicate with a compelling seductiveness. A mind which inevitably falls madly in love with certain subjects.

That's thanks to the link that DMV shared. ^^^

I love that! Heheh...

Is this true to you as well:

Sun: The potential of being a master of efficiency. Goals reached through gradual and daily accomplishment. One feels that romance is important and feels vitalized by it. One's ego and self esteem are dependent on one's ability to get things accomplished.

Oh yes, most definitely. Also the description for Mars:

Mars: Intense love expressed with great passion. To feel an overwhelming urge to act. One is impelled to take initiative based on an intense love.

But I also have a 7th house stellium and Libra 8th house to work with so I imagine those details would remain somewhat true even without the midpoint conjunction.
