Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Gertrude 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 Taurus

Because your North Node is in Taurus, your South Node is in Scorpio
You often have an enormous amount of inner strength and energy, you are passionate and you have strong emotions; you experience everything that is happening to you both on a mental and physical level and you have strong desires and needs. You need to learn to use this inner potential, to transform the sensual energy, realize it through creativity, action and physical work or realize it into tangible things.

Saturn as culminating planet

Because Saturn is your culminating planet, you are someone who will definitely attain success, although this will happen late in life, because you invest all your strength into it. Success and reputation are extremely important to you, you are willing to work and to make numerous sacrifices. You understand the hierarchical scale and so respect authority, because you hope you will one day become one. You are very serious and responsible, you seem a bit strict and reserved, but you are definitely worthy of respect, even of other factors in your horoscope show a milder picture. You are successful in numerous areas, such as law, politics, army, economy, etc.

Sun as rising planet

Because the Sun is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you have quite some luck in life and you usually have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are very emphasized). You usually have a happy childhood and enough support from your family and also from other people, because you always make a good impression, since you are pleasant and radiate a lot of positive energy; your attitude towards life is healthy and positive and that is why you are loved and appreciated in company. You do everything with enthusiasm and audacity, that is why you fulfill many of the goals and plans you set and there are not few. Already in childhood, it is useful to direct you towards sport, also towards performing and similar activities.

Mars in domicile

You are energetic, dynamic, impetuous and intensive, you have enormous physical energy. You are an athletic, dynamic person, always in motion, you quickly start working on planned things, you are extremely capable and endurable. You have a dominant nature, you are an authority, despite the fact that you make compromises with difficulty. If Mars is in bad aspect, you are usually irritable and pretty aggressive. But if it is situated well in personal horoscope, you are a person, who does your job well, are hearty and enthusiastic and always prepared for action.
