Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Aaliyah as “you”.

Besides planets and houses, some other points are also important for personal horoscope analysis, out of which only a few of the most important ones are considered here: two Arabic Parts (the Part of Spirit and the Part of Fortune), the North Node, Culminating planet, Rising planet and planets in domicile.

The Part of Spirit
is an Arabic Part which is calculated from the positions of the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant, using the formula: ASC + SUN - MOON = the Part of Spirit. It represents your spirit, the point in personal horoscope in which we somehow connect all the most influential elements of personal horoscope into a common denominator.

The Part of Fortune
is also an Arabic Part which is calculated from the positions of the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant, using the formula: ASC + MOON - SUN = the Part of Fortune. It represents the lucky point in your personal horoscope where you can best use your natural abilities.

The North Node
is an apparent point in the sky where the Moon orbit and the ecliptic intersect. It represents things which you have to work on to exceed your karma – things and experiences which enable your personal growth and through which you can fulfill your natural abilities.

Culminating planet
is the one closest to the axis of the 10th house (MC). It was therefore highest in the sky at the moment of your birth and so defines what you strive for in life.

The Rising planet
is the one closest to the axis of the 1st house (ASC). It was therefore the eastern planet at the moment of your birth and symbolizes your natural abilities.

Domiciles
Planets that are in the sign or in the house, in which they rule, are in domicile. It is possible you have no such planet or you can have more. These planets have an even more emphasized influence in your personal horoscope.

The Part of Spirit in Capricorn

You have a very realistic and traditional spirit and such is also your outlook on life. You trust and follow only tested values and more or less decide to take the preordained paths, systems and ways, but you love improving them. You have very good strategic abilities and you rarely let emotions influence your reasoning to the extent that would in any way demolish the course and rhythm of your actions and consequently also your progression. You are very aware of the hierarchy in every community, environment and system and you also respect the effort, abilities and talents of others. You are often an old soul, who chooses the heavier or longer path in life to achieve richer and more fruitful personal growth (even if other most important horoscope positions indicate a lighter picture).

The Part of Fortune in Aries

You have good instinct and you instinctively choose a path that enables you to have a happy and comfortable life, on the other hand you can repress many options and opportunities yourself with your over-impetuous and too-hasty actions that you take in this direction; because you instinctively feel that the chosen path is the right one, you are impatient in regards to the course of events and you tend to speed them up, by this you confuse the rhythm in which things should happen and with this jumping ahead of obligatory phases, you can waste many possibilities. Basically, you are focused on yourself and your actions are instinctive, this enables you to avoid numerous complicated situations and to always take good care of yourself.

The North Node in Virgo

Because your North Node is in Virgo, your South Node is in Pisces
You are an emotional, sensitive, compassionate and caring person, you often exaggerate and drown in your emotions; you perceive everything through an emotional prism and you often worry too much about everything, about yourself and about others. You need to learn how to use and take advantage of your abilities for good and positive purposes, such as working with others, caring and nurturing for them, etc., as well as learn how to express your emotional side through creative work.

Jupiter as culminating planet

Because Jupiter is your culminating planet, you are usually optimistic and cheerful, you often also have luck in business. You often have strong support and also the ability to do good investments. Although you are ambitious and although status and reputation are important to you, you strive for enjoyment in life. You often have several sources of income and are often successful abroad or your businesses are connected with foreign countries. You can be successful in manifold areas; in law, publishing, politics, science and others.

Moon as rising planet

Because the Moon is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you usually have a changeable and moody nature, but despite this, others find you attractive, interesting and even popular, because you love company, are warm, compassionate and friendly, you also have a good sense of humor, although it is perhaps slightly unusual. Your childhood is mostly varied and interesting, you change things a lot in this period. Your birth is sometimes accompanied by smaller (health) problems, which are connected to secretion or you have similar problems in childhood, it is also possible that your mother had such problems, when she was pregnant with you or between or after birth. You are very attached to your parents, especially your mother. You usually have beautiful eyes, soft and sensitive skin and often a round face.
