#J. J. Woodward

Science Saturday

We had a patron come in this week to do some research with the Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion (MSHWR) and we were impressed by the range of image reproduction techniques represented. The six volumes contain etchings and wood engravings, multi-colored charts and graphs, lithographs and chromolithographs, as well as multiple types of photographic reproduction (including heliotype and albumen photographs). I’ve taken the liberty of sharing some of the less gruesome images but encourage those with a morbid sense of curiosity to give us a visit and see for yourself!  

Published in Washington D.C. over nearly two decades by the United States Government Printing Office (which underwent a name change 2014 to the Government Publishing Office), the MSHWR was issued in three parts, with each part consisting of a Medical and Surgical volume. Both the Medical and Surgical volumes of Part 1 were first published in 1870, with the final installment coming in 1888. Both of our Part 1 volumes are from the second printing in 1875, while the volumes from Part 2 and 3 are first printings. Production of the first five volumes was overseen by Surgeon General Joseph K Barnes. The surgical volumes were compiled by George A. Otis. The first two medical volumes were compiled by J. J. Woodward, well known internationally as a pioneer in micrography. Both Barnes and Woodward passed away before the completion of the work, and Charles Smart took over for Woodward under the direction of the new Surgeon General, John Moore.

This monumental work documents clinical records, surgical reports, case reports, and statistical reports on both battlefield injuries and camp diseases in both the Union and Confederate Army during the Civil War. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) considers it “among the most remarkable works ever composed on military medicine and surgery” and that it is likely “the country’s earliest comprehensive medical monograph.” Not only is it a leading source of medical data from the time period, but the inclusion of case studies and surgical reports, with both patient and surgeon named, has made the MSHWR an important resource for personal histories and genealogical research. As noted, the array of image reproduction techniques also make it great point of reference for those with an interest in the history of printing.

♡ Midpoint Synastry Part One

What Is A Midpoint? A Midpoint represents the halfway point of two celestial bodies. It is the mathematical point of the center where two planets meet. Midpoints are highly sensitive as they are a combination of the energies of two separate planets. Therefore, the Midpoint Individual will be the most affected by the energy.

How Do I Calculate My Midpoint? Sadly, Astro.com does not have a Midpoint Calculator so it's best to use Astroseek.com's Midpoint Calculator instead!

What Are Midpoints Used For? Midpoints are used to reveal underlying and complex dynamics in one's own Natal Chart or the compatibility chart of two parties.

♡ Commitment and Longevity can be seen through the activation of the Sun/Saturn Midpoint in one's chart in Synastry. Sun = Vitality , Saturn = Longevity. It is the most potent when touched by someone's Sun, Juno, or ASC. This aspect is found in almost all of Hollywood's Long Lasting Marriages.

V. Beckham - Sun/Saturn Midpoint Conjunct David Beckham's Juno + ASC.

B. Lively - Sun/Saturn Midpoint Conjunct Ryan Reynold's Juno

J. Woodward - Sun/Saturn Midpoint Conjunct Paul Newman's Sun.

Tom Hanks - Sun/Saturn Midpoint Conjunct Rita Wilson's Venus.

♡ Having your Sun/Venus (feminines) or Sun/Jupiter (masculines) Midpoint in someone's first house has a very similar energy to having Venus or Jupiter in someone's first house. It can indicate attraction, an "ideal type" and therefore an ideal partner.

(In this context) In a Man or someone who is looking for a feminine partner, the Sun/Venus Midpoint represents the ideal feminine partner and the Sun/Jupiter Midpoint represents oneself. In a Woman, or someone who is looking for a masculine partner, the Sun/Jupiter Midpoint represents the ideal masculine partner and the Sun/Venus Midpoint represents oneself.

B. Lively - Sun/Venus Midpoint in Ryan Reynolds First House

R. Reynolds - Sun/Jupiter Midpoint in Blake Lively's First House

P. Newman - Sun/Venus Midpoint in Joanne Woodward's First House

E. Presley - Sun/Venus Midpoint in Priscilla Presley's First House

N. Kidman - Sun/Jupiter Midpoint in Keith Urban's First House

♡ Moon conjunct Sun/Moon Midpoint can indicate a Soulmate Relationship, especially if it is a Double Whammy.

♡ Asteroid Eros (433) conjunct someone's Moon/Mars Midpoint can indicate intense sexual attraction. Additionally, much like a Moon-Mars conjunction, it can indicate physical and emotional attachment.

♡ Saturn conjunct Moon/Mars Midpoint can indicate delays in sexual activity in a romantic partnership

♡ Venus conjunct Venus/Uranus Midpoint can indicate Love At First Sight

♡ Asteroid Amor conjunct someone's Moon/Venus Midpoint can indicate long lasting affection between two parties (platonic or romantic) no matter how their relationship plays out

♡ Mercury conjunct Mercury/Ascendant Midpoint can indicate that the Midpoint person feels as though the two parties have a natural affinity between their intellect and communication and that they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with the Mercury person.

♡ Asteroid Agapenor (5023) conjunct Venus/Mars Midpoint can indicate True Love, whereas Asteroid Cupido (763) conjunct Venus/Mars Midpoint can indicate Limerence or Infatuation

♡ Asteroid Hera (103) conjunct a feminines Venus/Lilith or Mars/Lilith Midpoints can indicate jealousy or vengeance in a relationship
