Other important points
20 July 1947, 02:00, Autlan de Navarro, Mexico
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Carlos 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 Gemini
With Part of Fortune in such position, you mostly do pretty well in life, you find and achieve happiness and satisfaction through everyday conversations, shorter paths and smaller errands. Consequently you always run into numerous opportunities and also into good or right connections. Because of your gift for communication, talent for commerce and because of the experiences you gain in this area, you notice good opportunities at once. These will be so numerous that it might happen, that instead of working in one business you work in three, but it is not necessary that more business will also bring you more profit.
The North Node in Gemini
Because your North Node is in Gemini, your South Node is in Sagittarius
You are usually a fast, clever, swift and perceptive, but also a scattered person. You realize things impetuously, you dramatize and exaggerate and often have goals that are too high in terms of realistic options. You need to learn how to tame your strong emotions in terms of you intellectual and business area, focus more attention to individual and essential details, also to communication and cooperation with others.
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.
Mars as rising planet
Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.
Moon in domicile
