Other important points

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

You are mostly a very sensitive person, when it comes to yourself and your world. You are also very compassionate and easily touched by other people. You consider everything through before you act, although your reactions to events are actually usually very emotional. You frequently make conclusions based on past experiences, that is why you rarely change your viewpoints. You are often involved in past events and situations; you don't find satisfaction, until all events or all situations which you worry about are safely put in their place and match a certain pattern, by which you explain vitally important things in life. Intuition helps you handle even the most important life situations.

The Part of Fortune in Taurus

In your life, you always choose safety and you believe safety is enabled by material goods; so all your actions and your aspirations lead to acquiring them and you work hard to ensure safety and comfort. In life, you don't choose quantity, but quality and so you simply avoid many situations and circumstances other people believe will bring good luck, you prefer choosing only the right things and you think the right things are rare; you find happiness in simple things.

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.

Pluto as culminating planet

Because Pluto is your culminating planet, it is impossible not to notice you; you radiate outstanding inner strength and a unique magnetism, which attracts some and repels others; it is hard to stay insensitive to you, either people like you very much or they find you annoying. You usually do well in any situation, because you have plenty experiences in life because of your warrior ways. Everything you ever learn (and you learn a lot, because you absorb everything and if it is useful knowledge, you suck it dry, if it is useless, you eliminate it), comes in handy one day and you react extremely well. You don't succeed in proven ways and you don't like preordained and trodden paths – you prefer making your own new path with effort and exertion.

Venus as rising planet

Because Venus is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you usually have a warm and pleasant character and behavior, also appearance. You like pleasures, but you also have a sense of business and money and know the true value of things well and also know exactly when to act and when to rest or enjoy. Because of these positive characteristics, people like you a lot and you are appreciated in any company. You enjoy socializing and parties, you go to events and receptions and you love beautiful things. You are interested in manifold areas, among them art, fashion, cosmetics, decoration and such. You mostly have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are much emphasized) and have lucky and comfortable childhood.

Moon in domicile

You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.
