📝 Description: The New American Midpoint Ephemeris 2006-2020

Starcrafts Pub offers a 188-page paperback reference work covering the fifteen-year period from 2006 through 2020. Rique Pottenger updated and revised the computer programming originally developed by the late Neil F. Michelsen to produce these calculations, which feature positions for the dwarf planet Ceres. The volume is designed for astrology practitioners who analyze midpoints in chart work, presenting daily mathematical positions and celestial data across its pages. Readers searching for general astrological interpretations or basic tutorials will not find them here, as the text functions strictly as a data resource rather than an instructional guide. The volume measures 27.94 centimeters long by 20.95 centimeters wide, bringing together technical research data under the subjects of astrology and reference. Pottenger uses software programming as his primary source method to extend Michelsen's previous editions. Astrologers tracking planetary midpoints during the covered dates can use these printed tables for direct visual reference in their calculation work.

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This text is a highly specialized reference work designed exclusively for those already deeply familiar with Michelsen’s midpoint theory. It provides rigorous data but lacks introductory guidance, making it inaccessible to novices or casual readers. Those seeking narrative context, easy-to-digest explanations, or broader esoteric history will find it dry and impenetrable. It is strictly a calculator’s companion, not a philosophical treatise. While the inclusion of Ceres adds value for modernists, generalists may prefer more accessible guides. This book is for the serious technician who needs raw precision over narrative flair.
