Josephine Baker’s birth chart
Other important points
3 June 1906, 11:00, St. Louis, MO, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Josephine 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 Aries
You have an audacious and pioneer, yet also competitive and combatative spirit and a lot of thought energy. You are usually too slapdash and too introverted to be very perspicacious. You perceive the truth instinctively, but often infallibly. You have a healthy way of thinking and such is also your attitude towards life and the world. You don't worry too much about things and this is also part of your self-preservation instinct. Because you are positively oriented, you get something good out of every situation and because of such position, you make decisions in life easier and faster (also if other factors of your horoscope contradict this).
The Part of Fortune in Capricorn
Because your Part of Fortune is in this sign, you are aware that you are the one who will have to ensure happiness for yourself and you start acting in this direction from an early age; the luckiest outcome or victory, which may seem coincidental to others, is the fruit of carefully planned strategy, which actually occurred in some subconscious program and you are perhaps not even aware of it; all your actions are thus directed into not making your happiness depend on anything or anybody but yourself and all the steps you have taken until that moment. However, because of your firm and realistic attitude towards everything, you sometimes lack spontaneity which would enable you to go with the flow and follow the set of circumstances and consequently, even luckier outcomes.
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.
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.
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.
Mercury in domicile
You are usually skilled in businesses of Mercury; communication, commerce, writing, speech, etc. You are fast, agile, resourceful and adaptable, also devious and cunning. As a rule, you have a gift of articulation and so have good rhetorical skills, you also pass on your knowledge in a quality and interesting way. You are intelligent and funny, you like novelties and constant happening and you love travelling. You are always somehow on the road, you are interested in everything and you learn something new out of every situation, which is beneficial for you in the future.
