Other important points
24 March 1942, 22:30, Memphis, TN, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Aretha 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 Leo
You have a very hearty and healthy spirit. You experience all events dramatically and all your though processes are usually also dramatic. You like taking a lot of interest in yourself, your healthy viewpoints and wide spirit enable you to also understand others, you are usually also very generous and always willing to help. You are very convincing, positive oriented and agreeable, that is why people love and appreciate you, which also means a lot to you and you often also strive for this. For you, simple things are the most important, you trust and follow simple and tested values, you do well for yourself in life, because you know how to take care of yourself.
The Part of Fortune in Aquarius
Working for a higher cause makes you most happy and it will also bring you the most personal happiness and fulfillment. You also find your purpose in cooperating and connecting with others, in exploring and creating new systems in all areas you are involved in; whether it be in education, science or medicine or in the fight for clean environment, nature preservation and basically in all areas, where there are global issues involved; the world and humanity as a whole. You get a lot of help from others, sometimes from complete strangers, perhaps you join charity and similar organizations. You definitely find the most personal happiness in working for people and through numerous connections you gain on your open path.
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.
Pluto as culminating planet
Because Pluto is your culminating planet, it is impossible not to notice you; you radiate outstanding inner strength and a unique magnetism, which attracts some and repels others; it is hard to stay insensitive to you, either people like you very much or they find you annoying. You usually do well in any situation, because you have plenty experiences in life because of your warrior ways. Everything you ever learn (and you learn a lot, because you absorb everything and if it is useful knowledge, you suck it dry, if it is useless, you eliminate it), comes in handy one day and you react extremely well. You don't succeed in proven ways and you don't like preordained and trodden paths – you prefer making your own new path with effort and exertion.
Neptune as rising planet
Because Neptune is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are usually very interesting, magnetic to others because of your attractive appearance and mysterious behavior. You often have beautiful eyes; dreamy, deep and intuitive. You have exceptional intuition, limitless imagination and incredibly rich dream world. Because you have a way with words, you are very persuasive and others also notice and appreciate you because of your numerous other gifts. You have a talent for art and music, you are attracted to spiritual and religious themes and psychology, also cosmetics, fashion and other similar areas. Often you are also attracted to stage and are a very good bluffer. You are an exceptional psychologist and have unbelievable depth of understanding, so it is not strange that people are often drawn to you.
Sun in domicile
You are energetic, optimistic and fun. Reputation and status mean a lot to you, you love glamour and power. You are very confident and domineering, so you like exaggerating and you are sometimes very egoistic. You are very creative, you love children and animals, you like to enjoy big time and you love shopping, good food and jewelry, especially gold. You are always in the center of each company, because you are charismatic and a born actor/actress.
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.
