PROGRESSED SUN/MOON
The aspects with the progressed Sun/Moon midpoint tells us what is your temporary focus and motivation and if there are any events in family life at a certain moment. Here is more information about how to calculate and interpret the progressed Sun/Moon midpoint. For more about midpoints and Sun/Moon, see this link. For more about progressions, go here...
A progressed chart is the chart for the xth day/hour after birth, meant for the xth year after birth. In a progressed chart the positions of Sun and Moon change, of course, as the progressed chart shows positions of 1 day = 1 year later. The Sun/Moon midpoint is the point between Sun and Moon. The progressed chart for a certain moment includes the progressed positions of Sun and Moon. The progressed midpoint Sun/Moon is the point between progressed Sun and progressed Moon. This doesn’t last for long, just a few weeks or months and indicates what important event is going on. When I found out that on my wedding day transit Jupiter was conjunct the progressed midpoint Sun/Moon I was encouraged to find out more about it.
Any aspect with Sun/Moon is important for your wellbeing and for the nature of family life (relationships/marriage). I noticed that even inconjunctions have relevance. How about transits and progressions with your Sun/Moon? I think that transits and progressions with Sun/Moon might have a strong effect on how you feel. People grow and progressed charts show us in what direction. The progressed Sun/Moon shows how our motivation is being influenced in the course of time.
Let’s see if what I think could be true.
1. OBAMA AND SATURN
Barack Obama’s Sun/Moon midpoint is at 97.94 degrees, the 8th degree of Cancer. When transit Saturn was square his Sun/Moon midpoint, the poll results were rather bad and I guess that this didn’t cheer him up. Saturn can be rather depressing when you have bad polls. You see, Saturn on Sun/Moon shows you plain reality and the need for stability and respect. It can be good and it can be bad, depending on the rest of your chart.
2. MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND PLUTO
Michael Douglas has transit Pluto semi square Sun/Moon, following the transit of Saturn over Sun and Moon and midpoint Sun/Moon. We all know about his challenging period right now (trying to conquer cancer).
Pluto on Sun/Moon shows that you need strength and courage.

3. GEORGE MICHAEL AND NEPTUNE
George Michael’s Sun/Moon in the 27th degree of Cancer was inconjunct Neptune in September/October, during his time in jail (Neptune is the symbol of shame, isolation and with the inconjunction of lost illusions). Sun/Moon with Neptune shows the need of privacy and hiding away.

4. JOE BIDEN AND PLUTO
Joe Biden had T Pluto at 29d22 Sagittarius semi square his progressed Sun/Moon in 14d16 Aquarius on Election Day. Pluto crossed the progressed Sun/Moon midpoint several times in the last months of 2008. He was confronted with the death of a family member and his son left for Iraq in an intense period of political confrontations! It was transformation time.
5. MY SUN/MOON
With Progressed Mercury conjunct Sun/Moon (need to study) I finished the academy. Mercury is the symbol of study and schooling. Continuing study (Progressed Mercury) happened to be highlighted (Sun and Moon).
In a progressed chart the positions of Sun and Moon change, of course, as the progressed chart shows positions of 1 day = 1 year later. Sun/Moon also changes with the rest of the chart. When I found out that on my wedding day transit Jupiter was conjunct the progressed midpoint Sun/Moon I was encouraged to find out more about it. On a first working day after a period of rest, Pallas was conjunct my Progressed Sun/Moon. I had to live in a pattern (Pallas symbolizes patterns) again...
CONCLUSION
Don't just look at the natal midpoint Sun/Moon but have a look at the progressed Sun/Moon midpoint, too. It might be a usefull tool to find or select a perfect day. Mine will be on January 6, 2009: Venus opposition Sun/Moon. Sometimes New Years speaches are real fun, I guess.
BTW As the Moon moves quickly, the Sun/Moon midpoint moves about 8 degrees each progressive year. When planets like Venus or Mercury or Mars move over this midpoint, it won't have a long lasting effect.
