Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Jim 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 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 Leo

Because your North Node is in Leo, your South Node is in Aquarius
You usually have an impetuous, impulsive and dramatic character. You love having an audience, being in center of attention, you often have a very noticeable behavior. You are interesting and inventive, but other people often don't understand you, that is why you need to learn how to explain your ideas in a way that others like and find them acceptable or try to realize them not only four your soul (and in solitude) but for wider audiences.

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.

Mercury as rising planet

Because Mercury is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and flexible, agile, swift and resourceful. You are very youthful, both in personality and in appearance. Because you are interested in all sorts of things and are also talented in many areas, it is useful to direct you already in childhood towards constructive use of excessive thinking energy; you are talented in languages, writing, commerce and marketing. You often also have sense of music and painting. You are very restless, yet articulate and it is extremely important to you to get enough movement. You constantly have to do something, both mentally and physically. You like to express yourself, you mostly talk a lot and are sociable and a good company. Because of your audacious attitude towards life, you attract all sorts of people, also more serious ones.
