Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Mark 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 Scorpio

Because your Part of Fortune appears in this sign, you are reconciled with the fact that nothing is given to you, but that you can with certain moves, which are the result of precise judgment and good intuition, lead the course of events into the right direction. It would be hard to say that you are born under a lucky star and people often talk about you behind your back about your accomplishments and about what you acquired, but your character is persuasive enough and interesting so that also people, who are most distrustful, eventually become used to you and once they do, they follow and trust you. You basically have a simple life philosophy and so instinctively choose paths and situations that enable you to do your best and consequently achieve happy or positive results.

The North Node in Pisces

Because your North node is in Pisces, your South Node is in Virgo
You are usually a sensitive, modest and reserved person, you need a lot of time to process what you experience and feel. You are involved in numerous details and sometimes consequently lose the bigger picture. You are prone to worrying and you often substitute worries with premonitions or intuition, that is why you need to establish and nurture a better contact with yourself and your inner wisdom and use your abilities in a way that you can be of benefit to others (e.g. contacts with others and working with others, caring and nurturing...).

Mars as culminating planet

Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.

Neptune as rising planet

Because Neptune is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are usually very interesting, magnetic to others because of your attractive appearance and mysterious behavior. You often have beautiful eyes; dreamy, deep and intuitive. You have exceptional intuition, limitless imagination and incredibly rich dream world. Because you have a way with words, you are very persuasive and others also notice and appreciate you because of your numerous other gifts. You have a talent for art and music, you are attracted to spiritual and religious themes and psychology, also cosmetics, fashion and other similar areas. Often you are also attracted to stage and are a very good bluffer. You are an exceptional psychologist and have unbelievable depth of understanding, so it is not strange that people are often drawn to you.

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.

Neptune in domicile

Neptune 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 strives for man's return to his primal essence and stand for withdrawal into one's inner world, you find fulfillment in solitude and self-improvement.
