Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Al 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 Aries

You have an audacious and pioneer, yet also competitive and combatative spirit and a lot of thought energy. You are usually too slapdash and too introverted to be very perspicacious. You perceive the truth instinctively, but often infallibly. You have a healthy way of thinking and such is also your attitude towards life and the world. You don't worry too much about things and this is also part of your self-preservation instinct. Because you are positively oriented, you get something good out of every situation and because of such position, you make decisions in life easier and faster (also if other factors of your horoscope contradict this).

The Part of Fortune in Virgo

You are modest in your expectations and wishes. For you, happiness is not something which will fall out of the sky, but the result of long and hard work and mostly of good methods and sensible actions, and you are prepared to make sacrifices to ensure a better tomorrow; so you definitely don't live with your head up in the clouds and you prefer building your future happiness as you go along and without the help of others, because you don't like relying on others, let alone things that are built on clouds. Small trivialities and the most everyday errands make you happy, you also find fulfillment in activities you do for others (such as caring and nurturing).

The North Node in Libra

Because your North Node is in Libra, your South Node is in Aries
You are usually a warm, open and positively oriented person. Company and good relations with your environment mean a lot to you, your actions often completely depend on how others accept you and react to you. You are not always very understanding and compassionate of others and find it difficult to see past yourself, that is why you need to work on that to successfully cooperate with others (and you also strive for this cooperation or try to achieve it).

Sun as culminating planet

Because the Sun is your culminating planet, you radiate a lot of positive energy and are usually good-natured and kind, even if other factors in your horoscope don't otherwise emphasize this. You have pleasant character and behavior, so people like you very much. You have a positive attitude towards work and usually achieve success in business. You are attracted to politics and are interested in manifold areas, including sport, and you can also achieve good results in numerous of these areas.

Saturn as rising planet

Because Saturn is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are serious, realistic, reserved and calm from an early age, and mostly wise and mature. You are interested in manifold areas and you have a studious viewpoint on everything. In life, you are often self-taught, in general supporter of independence; most probably you take care of yourself from an early age, because this makes you feel good or certain circumstances in your childhood demanded this from you. In childhood, you often have weak health or you have certain health issues in this period, which are perhaps connected to bones or joints, also eyesight. Sometimes such position indicates that your mother had difficulties during pregnancy or that delivery was hard or that there were certain problems immediately after birth. However, with years and through development, these problems subside.

Moon in domicile

You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.

Jupiter in domicile

You have truly cosmopolitan views; you are honest, funny and dynamic, you take a lot of interest in yourself, with your spiritual and personal growth, you are a good judge, you usually use your abilities well, are successful in communication, education, publishing, import or export and law, also sport.

Saturn in domicile

You are a very ambitious person with accurately defined and set plans, goals and ideals. You are organized, systematic and methodical, you focus on your work with complete dedication. You expect and demand this also from your environment. You often put success in career before family life, although you can be a caring and responsible family person.

Pluto in domicile

Pluto is one of the more distant planets, which travel more slowly and influence entire generations of people, and is thus also treated as a generational planet in personal horoscope. You belong to a generation, which (also because of sexually transmitted diseases) returns to loyalty and proven values and stands for transformation of sexual energy to higher levels, on the other hand, sexuality is where you can find the only and the most satisfying path to exploring inner depths.
