Other important points

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 Libra

You often seem to find yourself in a dilemma, because you constantly weigh or decide between two options. You have a reconcilable and well-meaning spirit, so you mostly have a very good and mild influence on people (even if other most important positions show a somewhat different picture at first glance); everybody feels good in your company, because of your benevolence, sense of fairness and your need to deal with every subject by taking all sides into consideration. Although you sometimes consequently seem a bit opportunistic, you are basically just capable and ready to accept other people's views. Because of these characteristics, you do very well in life and mostly don't have major problems (unless some other very strong factor influences this).

The Part of Fortune in Scorpio

Because your Part of Fortune appears in this sign, you are reconciled with the fact that nothing is given to you, but that you can with certain moves, which are the result of precise judgment and good intuition, lead the course of events into the right direction. It would be hard to say that you are born under a lucky star and people often talk about you behind your back about your accomplishments and about what you acquired, but your character is persuasive enough and interesting so that also people, who are most distrustful, eventually become used to you and once they do, they follow and trust you. You basically have a simple life philosophy and so instinctively choose paths and situations that enable you to do your best and consequently achieve happy or positive results.

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.

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.

Jupiter as rising planet

Because Jupiter is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you have a lot of luck in life and mostly have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are much emphasized). Your childhood is usually happy and comfortable, you get support and help from everywhere. From a young age, you are somewhat wise and fair, curious and audacious, you are interested in everything and can be very successful in numerous areas; in languages, architecture, geography and history, also art. It is useful to direct you also towards sport. You love performing and are often in center of attention. You have a pleasant and attractive appearance and people like you a lot, because you are audacious, enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards life, your company and your opinion are desired. You are sometimes prone to obesity.

Sun in domicile

You are energetic, optimistic and fun. Reputation and status mean a lot to you, you love glamour and power. You are very confident and domineering, so you like exaggerating and you are sometimes very egoistic. You are very creative, you love children and animals, you like to enjoy big time and you love shopping, good food and jewelry, especially gold. You are always in the center of each company, because you are charismatic and a born actor/actress.
