Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Colin 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 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 Scorpio

Because your North Node is in Scorpio, your South Node is in Taurus
You are usually a passionate, sensual and impetuous person, closeness and touch are very important to you. You often become very attached to people, but you may also be jealous and possessive. You like pleasures and secular things, what is tangible and what you can see are the only things that are real to you. You don't like giving in, you also often don't admit your mistakes, but you frequently can't even see them. You need to nurture a better contact with your inner world or with deeper layers of yourself, so that your inner strength won't be in your way, but will work for your benefit.

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

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.
