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

You have a firm and healthy spirit and are generally a very realistic and rational person. In all situations, no matter how complicated and delicate, you have the ability to have an objective viewpoint, because you have a healthy attitude towards everything. You have an infallible sense of justice and you can't act differently but in a fair way. You do all projects and important matters in temperate, thoughtful and cautious manner. You are not too enthusiastic about just anything, but when you realize that something is right, you may become an avid supporter. You have a good sense of judging people and a sense of value of things. In life you follow real and tested values.

The Part of Fortune in Aries

You have good instinct and you instinctively choose a path that enables you to have a happy and comfortable life, on the other hand you can repress many options and opportunities yourself with your over-impetuous and too-hasty actions that you take in this direction; because you instinctively feel that the chosen path is the right one, you are impatient in regards to the course of events and you tend to speed them up, by this you confuse the rhythm in which things should happen and with this jumping ahead of obligatory phases, you can waste many possibilities. Basically, you are focused on yourself and your actions are instinctive, this enables you to avoid numerous complicated situations and to always take good care of yourself.

The North Node in Libra

Because your North Node is in Libra, your South Node is in Aries
You are usually a warm, open and positively oriented person. Company and good relations with your environment mean a lot to you, your actions often completely depend on how others accept you and react to you. You are not always very understanding and compassionate of others and find it difficult to see past yourself, that is why you need to work on that to successfully cooperate with others (and you also strive for this cooperation or try to achieve it).

Sun as culminating planet

Because the Sun is your culminating planet, you radiate a lot of positive energy and are usually good-natured and kind, even if other factors in your horoscope don't otherwise emphasize this. You have pleasant character and behavior, so people like you very much. You have a positive attitude towards work and usually achieve success in business. You are attracted to politics and are interested in manifold areas, including sport, and you can also achieve good results in numerous of these areas.

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.
