Leonardo da Vinci’s birth chart
Other important points
6 April 1452, 12:00, Vinci, Italy
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Leonardo 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 Libra
You often seem to find yourself in a dilemma, because you constantly weigh or decide between two options. You have a reconcilable and well-meaning spirit, so you mostly have a very good and mild influence on people (even if other most important positions show a somewhat different picture at first glance); everybody feels good in your company, because of your benevolence, sense of fairness and your need to deal with every subject by taking all sides into consideration. Although you sometimes consequently seem a bit opportunistic, you are basically just capable and ready to accept other people's views. Because of these characteristics, you do very well in life and mostly don't have major problems (unless some other very strong factor influences this).
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 Capricorn
Because your North Node is in Capricorn, your South Node is in Cancer
You are usually a sensitive, vulnerable and reserved person and you don't have much self-confidence. You like hiding and you quickly hide in your shell where you often process what you experienced and felt with pessimism. You need to nurture your firmness and self-confidence and also need to learn how to 'have a thick skin', rise from your emotional depths and direct your rich inner potentials towards fulfilling goals.
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.
Pluto as rising planet
Because Pluto is found eastern in your personal horoscope, others find you extremely attractive, interesting and charismatic. You radiate a certain mysterious energy, which hardly ever leaves others unimpressed, so you have numerous fans, but many people also don't like you or they feel uncomfortable in your company. You have enormous supply of energy, both physical and mental, you are extremely perspicacious, also demanding and difficult. As a child, you need mild guidance and mostly a lot of understanding, but absolutely nothing can be achieved with you under constraint. Perhaps you have certain health issues in childhood or your mother had a hard or special pregnancy or delivery or there were some problems in post-birth period. But because you have nature of a warrior and exceptional will and also good self-healing abilities, your healthy issues usually subside later on. It is very advisable to direct you into sport.
Venus in domicile
You like living large, you love art, delicacies, in short – everything beautiful and delicious. You are interested in art and music, you like cooking and are also a good cook. You are stubborn and often jealous and possessive. You have keen sense of honesty and fairness, so your judgments and opinions are valued and appreciated. At work, you are usually hard-working and reliable, both in business and in partnerships (exceptions, of course, make the rules). You have a talent for painting, you are especially talented in plastic design.
