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

In life, you have quite some luck in all projects, all in all, you start working on all projects with enthusiasm and you instinctively choose such situations and also connections which bring you happiness and benefits on your future path and there are plenty of such circumstances and situations. In life, you always strive for progression and you ensure your happiness mostly by acquiring knowledge and by broadening your horizons. Exploring, foreign countries and everything connected to foreign countries makes you happy and perhaps you literally find happiness through travelling or the contact with a foreign country in some way brings you luck, in any case, luck accompanies your optimistic attitude towards life.

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.

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.

Pluto in domicile

Pluto is one of the more distant planets, which travel more slowly and influence entire generations of people, and is thus also treated as a generational planet in personal horoscope. You belong to a generation, which (also because of sexually transmitted diseases) returns to loyalty and proven values and stands for transformation of sexual energy to higher levels, on the other hand, sexuality is where you can find the only and the most satisfying path to exploring inner depths.
