A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Joaquin 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 Sagittarius

Because your North Node is in Sagittarius, your South Node is in Gemini
You are usually a dynamic, fast and clever person who likes to travel and to be very active. You have a very curious nature, you are interested in everything and at the same time you can process an enormous amount of information, but you often get lost in details or you give them too much time, energy and attention. It is important that you expand your interests and set your goals higher, you also need to develop and nurture heartiness (and not only your mind).

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.

Jupiter as rising planet

Because Jupiter is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you have a lot of luck in life and mostly have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are much emphasized). Your childhood is usually happy and comfortable, you get support and help from everywhere. From a young age, you are somewhat wise and fair, curious and audacious, you are interested in everything and can be very successful in numerous areas; in languages, architecture, geography and history, also art. It is useful to direct you also towards sport. You love performing and are often in center of attention.

You are sometimes prone to obesity.
