A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Jean-Claude 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 Scorpio

You have an exceptionally perspicacious and insightful spirit and also a very good and accurate intuition. You are therefore a good psychologist by nature and you evaluate every situation and also people very well. Even if milder or lighter signs prevail in your horoscope, your inner sense, precise judgment and exceptional thinking energy are definitely active and express themselves – at least – in most important or the most delicate matters. You know exactly what you want and also what you can expect from life and, because you have nature of a warrior, you most often fulfill the goals you set, despite the fact that you often choose the hard(est) paths in life. In everything you do, you put quality before quantity, you basically have a minimalistic nature; you need very little, but that has to be genuine and has to have quality.

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 Virgo

Because your North Node is in Virgo, your South Node is in Pisces
You are an emotional, sensitive, compassionate and caring person, you often exaggerate and drown in your emotions; you perceive everything through an emotional prism and you often worry too much about everything, about yourself and about others. You need to learn how to use and take advantage of your abilities for good and positive purposes, such as working with others, caring and nurturing for them, etc., as well as learn how to express your emotional side through creative work.

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.

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.

Venus in domicile

You like living large, you love art, delicacies, in short – everything beautiful and delicious. You are interested in art and music, you like cooking and are also a good cook. You are stubborn and often jealous and possessive. You have keen sense of honesty and fairness, so your judgments and opinions are valued and appreciated. At work, you are usually hard-working and reliable, both in business and in partnerships (exceptions, of course, make the rules). You have a talent for painting, you are especially talented in plastic design.

Jupiter in domicile

You have truly cosmopolitan views; you are honest, funny and dynamic, you take a lot of interest in yourself, with your spiritual and personal growth, you are a good judge, you usually use your abilities well, are successful in communication, education, publishing, import or export and law, also sport.

Saturn in domicile

You are a very ambitious person with accurately defined and set plans, goals and ideals. You are organized, systematic and methodical, you focus on your work with complete dedication. You expect and demand this also from your environment. You often put success in career before family life, although you can be a caring and responsible family person.
