Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Chris 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 Sagittarius

You mostly have a very idealistic and audacious spirit. You take and experience everything with enthusiasm and that is why you do well in numerous life situations. Your spirit is very restless and curious; you like to plan, you always have some important projects in mind, because of your optimistic and daring approach, you also fulfill many of them. You are usually agreeable, cheerful, good-natured and popular. You have an exceptional need for growth, knowledge and also experiences, something interesting is always going on with you. You learn and grow in all your experiences, you get something useful out of every situation and you always keep going forward; that is your motto.

The Part of Fortune in Capricorn

Because your Part of Fortune is in this sign, you are aware that you are the one who will have to ensure happiness for yourself and you start acting in this direction from an early age; the luckiest outcome or victory, which may seem coincidental to others, is the fruit of carefully planned strategy, which actually occurred in some subconscious program and you are perhaps not even aware of it; all your actions are thus directed into not making your happiness depend on anything or anybody but yourself and all the steps you have taken until that moment. However, because of your firm and realistic attitude towards everything, you sometimes lack spontaneity which would enable you to go with the flow and follow the set of circumstances and consequently, even luckier outcomes.

The North Node in Pisces

Because your North node is in Pisces, your South Node is in Virgo
You are usually a sensitive, modest and reserved person, you need a lot of time to process what you experience and feel. You are involved in numerous details and sometimes consequently lose the bigger picture. You are prone to worrying and you often substitute worries with premonitions or intuition, that is why you need to establish and nurture a better contact with yourself and your inner wisdom and use your abilities in a way that you can be of benefit to others (e.g. contacts with others and working with others, caring and nurturing...).

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.

Uranus as rising planet

Because Uranus is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are certainly in some sense special, most often this reflects already in your appearance; you are exciting and special with exceptional creative energy and unbelievable magnetism. With you it is never boring, the question is, if others can keep up with such rhythm; other people often have trouble keeping up with you. You often change things and perhaps you also move a lot. Often such position indicates certain peculiarities from the period of your childhood; perhaps there is a special circumstance regarding your origin or something unusual, not quite ordinary was happening to your family during pregnancy or after your birth or you originate from a family with very progressive beliefs.

Mercury in domicile

You are usually skilled in businesses of Mercury; communication, commerce, writing, speech, etc. You are fast, agile, resourceful and adaptable, also devious and cunning. As a rule, you have a gift of articulation and so have good rhetorical skills, you also pass on your knowledge in a quality and interesting way. You are intelligent and funny, you like novelties and constant happening and you love travelling. You are always somehow on the road, you are interested in everything and you learn something new out of every situation, which is beneficial for you in the future.

Venus in domicile

You like living large, you love art, delicacies, in short – everything beautiful and delicious. You are interested in art and music, you like cooking and are also a good cook. You are stubborn and often jealous and possessive. You have keen sense of honesty and fairness, so your judgments and opinions are valued and appreciated. At work, you are usually hard-working and reliable, both in business and in partnerships (exceptions, of course, make the rules). You have a talent for painting, you are especially talented in plastic design.

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.
