Other important points
18 April 1947, 11:30, Vernal, UT, USA
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 Virgo
You are usually a very rational, extremely intelligent and resourceful person. You think very quickly and you also have a perspicacious nature, but it also happens, that you lose your thread, because you focus too much to individual parts in the mosaic. You have an analytical and exploring spirit and a natural need for order, storing and arranging everything; it brings you peace and satisfaction and also puts things in the right place. You start important projects by first thinking them through in your head, you do everything attentively and meticulously. You have a good attitude towards health, you take a lot of interest in yourself; your attitude towards yourself, your thoughts, views and actions are pure and often ascetic.
The Part of Fortune in Gemini
With Part of Fortune in such position, you mostly do pretty well in life, you find and achieve happiness and satisfaction through everyday conversations, shorter paths and smaller errands. Consequently you always run into numerous opportunities and also into good or right connections. Because of your gift for communication, talent for commerce and because of the experiences you gain in this area, you notice good opportunities at once. These will be so numerous that it might happen, that instead of working in one business you work in three, but it is not necessary that more business will also bring you more profit.
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.
Mars as culminating planet
Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.
Saturn as rising planet
Because Saturn is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are serious, realistic, reserved and calm from an early age, and mostly wise and mature. You are interested in manifold areas and you have a studious viewpoint on everything. In life, you are often self-taught, in general supporter of independence; most probably you take care of yourself from an early age, because this makes you feel good or certain circumstances in your childhood demanded this from you. In childhood, you often have weak health or you have certain health issues in this period, which are perhaps connected to bones or joints, also eyesight. Sometimes such position indicates that your mother had difficulties during pregnancy or that delivery was hard or that there were certain problems immediately after birth. However, with years and through development, these problems subside.
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.
Uranus in domicile
Uranus 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 introduces radical changes and novelties in numerous areas and you strive for introduction of new systems and orders.
