Other important points
16 December 1770, 03:40, Bonn, Germany
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Ludwig 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 Scorpio
You have an exceptionally perspicacious and insightful spirit and also a very good and accurate intuition. You are therefore a good psychologist by nature and you evaluate every situation and also people very well. Even if milder or lighter signs prevail in your horoscope, your inner sense, precise judgment and exceptional thinking energy are definitely active and express themselves – at least – in most important or the most delicate matters. You know exactly what you want and also what you can expect from life and, because you have nature of a warrior, you most often fulfill the goals you set, despite the fact that you often choose the hard(est) paths in life. In everything you do, you put quality before quantity, you basically have a minimalistic nature; you need very little, but that has to be genuine and has to have quality.
The Part of Fortune in Libra
Most often you acquire happiness in a rather easy way, often also through partnership or cooperation of some sort. In your essence, you strive for calming and balancing opposite forces and such are your actions in all areas; both in your inner world and personal decisions as in relationships and all – important or unimportant – contacts and also in dealing with them. You find deeper satisfaction in harmonizing yourself with your environment, you often find happiness in partnership – also in material sense.
The North Node in Scorpio
Because your North Node is in Scorpio, your South Node is in Taurus
You are usually a passionate, sensual and impetuous person, closeness and touch are very important to you. You often become very attached to people, but you may also be jealous and possessive. You like pleasures and secular things, what is tangible and what you can see are the only things that are real to you. You don't like giving in, you also often don't admit your mistakes, but you frequently can't even see them. You need to nurture a better contact with your inner world or with deeper layers of yourself, so that your inner strength won't be in your way, but will work for your benefit.
Saturn as culminating planet
Because Saturn is your culminating planet, you are someone who will definitely attain success, although this will happen late in life, because you invest all your strength into it. Success and reputation are extremely important to you, you are willing to work and to make numerous sacrifices. You understand the hierarchical scale and so respect authority, because you hope you will one day become one. You are very serious and responsible, you seem a bit strict and reserved, but you are definitely worthy of respect, even of other factors in your horoscope show a milder picture. You are successful in numerous areas, such as law, politics, army, economy, etc.
Moon as rising planet
Because the Moon is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you usually have a changeable and moody nature, but despite this, others find you attractive, interesting and even popular, because you love company, are warm, compassionate and friendly, you also have a good sense of humor, although it is perhaps slightly unusual. Your childhood is mostly varied and interesting, you change things a lot in this period. Your birth is sometimes accompanied by smaller (health) problems, which are connected to secretion or you have similar problems in childhood, it is also possible that your mother had such problems, when she was pregnant with you or between or after birth. You are very attached to your parents, especially your mother. You usually have beautiful eyes, soft and sensitive skin and often a round face.
Saturn in domicile
You are a very ambitious person with accurately defined and set plans, goals and ideals. You are organized, systematic and methodical, you focus on your work with complete dedication. You expect and demand this also from your environment. You often put success in career before family life, although you can be a caring and responsible family person.
