asking for input on midpoints

I'm sure this is covered in a book somewhere, but ... I am looking for
a short, perhaps archetypal interpretation of the following
midpoints. This isn't really a part of my my "standard"
interpretations, I suppose I'm trying to determine if it is really
useful enough to warrant inclusion.

The natal data:
Aug 16 1961, 1:57 PM, EST +5:00
Camden NJ USA 39N55 55 075W07 02

The midpoints:

*Sun*
Mer|BMo +0°13' d
Ura|BMo +0°15' d
Nod|BMo +0°52' d

*Mon*
Plu|Asc -0°19' d

*Mer*
Sun|Nod -0°29' d
Mar|Vx -0°31' d

*Mar*
Mon|Plu +0°00' d
Nep|BMo +0°26' d

*Jup*
Sat|PF +0°30' d

*Ura*
Sun|Nod -0°33' d
Mer|Nod +0°33' d

*Nep*
MC |EP +0°18' d
Sun|Sat +0°22' d
Sat|BMo -0°31' d

*Plu*
MC |BMo +0°19' d

*MC *
Mon|Sun -0°31' d
Mon|Mer +0°36' d
Mon|Ura +0°38' d

*BMo*
Ven|Mar +0°36' d

I presume BMo refers to "Black Moon Lilith", which I see is
interestingly placed in this chart; the midpoint of Mercury and
Lilith and also the midpoint of Uranus and Lilith is almost exactly
the position of the Sun. I never use midpoints because there is more
than enough material in a standard chart to give a world of
information to a client The overwhelming factors here are: a
conjunction of 9 minutes of longitude between Mercury and Uranus.
Sun is totally involved as well because it is only 2 degrees away from
Mercury and Uranus and also conjuncts BMo Lilith. Pluto is exactly
at the Midheaven, and Uranus closely conjunct NNode. I am presuming
this is your own chart because it sure looks like the chart of a very
philosophical & brilliant astrologer, with the self-absorption of a
Leo cluster; wanting to turn an array of midpoints into the Iliad and
the Odyssey. Plus, it is unlikely that anyone would get so deeply into
the potential archetypal meanings of midpoints of someone else's
chart. It just would not "pay" unless it was a very generous client
or you were being paid by the word WHY would you NEED to include
midpoints at all with a chart like this? You have huge archetypal
imagery possible just with the plain & ordinary natal aspects. If you
want to, throw in the asteroids: Ceres and Vesta are on the Desc.,
Juno in the 4th, Eris is on the cusp of the 5th, Chiron and Pluto are
opposed along the MC--IC axis.
Sorry, ALL these Midpoints...This is just too much work to try to
figure out -- just for fun! www.edaugusts.com . .

I just wanted to see what midpoints have to offer relative to the
whole kit and kaboodle; I'm not looking for a dissertation. One of my
Facebook friends has given me astounding input, based on fixed stars,
that no one else has ever given ... including my late mentor, and I am
in a state of perhaps reconsidering how I want to analyze a
birthchart. Probably just fallout from this Neptune opposition my Sun
that's been going on for a while now.

I'll just have to spend some time down at the book store and see if I
can find a book that provides adequate descriptions of the midpoints.
