Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Janet 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 Cancer

Safety means the most to you and you direct all your ambitions into ensuring it; nothing brings you bigger and more lasting happiness than a safe haven. Because of your sensitivity, you instinctively act in a way that is good for you and you can protect yourself from unnecessary and even disturbing events and situations well. In other people, you often awake the desire and willingness to help you; you get the most help and support from people closest to you, parents and relatives, very often you also get extensive financial, not only emotional support.

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.

Mercury as culminating planet

Because Mercury is your culminating planet, you are usually very dynamic and incredibly youthful. You are constantly on the road and are always involved in some business; you are successful in marketing, writing, publishing and similar areas. In your work, you help yourself with many connections; you are always on the road and are very sociable, so you know many people who are also willing to help and follow you, because you have good rhetorical skills and can be very convincing. You are very clever and resourceful, you need a dynamic profession, otherwise you start getting bored.

Uranus as rising planet

Because Uranus is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are certainly in some sense special, most often this reflects already in your appearance; you are exciting and special with exceptional creative energy and unbelievable magnetism. With you it is never boring, the question is, if others can keep up with such rhythm; other people often have trouble keeping up with you. You often change things and perhaps you also move a lot. Often such position indicates certain peculiarities from the period of your childhood; perhaps there is a special circumstance regarding your origin or something unusual, not quite ordinary was happening to your family during pregnancy or after your birth or you originate from a family with very progressive beliefs.
