Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Martin 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 Capricorn

You have a very realistic and traditional spirit and such is also your outlook on life. You trust and follow only tested values and more or less decide to take the preordained paths, systems and ways, but you love improving them. You have very good strategic abilities and you rarely let emotions influence your reasoning to the extent that would in any way demolish the course and rhythm of your actions and consequently also your progression. You are very aware of the hierarchy in every community, environment and system and you also respect the effort, abilities and talents of others. You are often an old soul, who chooses the heavier or longer path in life to achieve richer and more fruitful personal growth (even if other most important horoscope positions indicate a lighter picture).

The Part of Fortune in Aquarius

Working for a higher cause makes you most happy and it will also bring you the most personal happiness and fulfillment. You also find your purpose in cooperating and connecting with others, in exploring and creating new systems in all areas you are involved in; whether it be in education, science or medicine or in the fight for clean environment, nature preservation and basically in all areas, where there are global issues involved; the world and humanity as a whole. You get a lot of help from others, sometimes from complete strangers, perhaps you join charity and similar organizations. You definitely find the most personal happiness in working for people and through numerous connections you gain on your open path.

The North Node in Libra

Because your North Node is in Libra, your South Node is in Aries
You are usually a warm, open and positively oriented person. Company and good relations with your environment mean a lot to you, your actions often completely depend on how others accept you and react to you. You are not always very understanding and compassionate of others and find it difficult to see past yourself, that is why you need to work on that to successfully cooperate with others (and you also strive for this cooperation or try to achieve it).

Neptune as culminating planet

Because Neptune is your culminating planet, others find you extremely attractive and interesting. You are usually noticed instantly, because you are something special even at first glance. You usually move in artistic and similar circles and also have numerous talents in these areas; this position is beneficial for artists and musicians, perhaps you are involved in film, photography, etc. You have exceptional sense of people and excellent intuition, so you are also successful in social work and psychology. You are interested in man as an individual and in mankind in general and you often work for the benefit of all people.

Jupiter as rising planet

Because Jupiter is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you have a lot of luck in life and mostly have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are much emphasized). Your childhood is usually happy and comfortable, you get support and help from everywhere. From a young age, you are somewhat wise and fair, curious and audacious, you are interested in everything and can be very successful in numerous areas; in languages, architecture, geography and history, also art. It is useful to direct you also towards sport. You love performing and are often in center of attention. You have a pleasant and attractive appearance and people like you a lot, because you are audacious, enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards life, your company and your opinion are desired. You are sometimes prone to obesity.

Sun in domicile

You are energetic, optimistic and fun. Reputation and status mean a lot to you, you love glamour and power. You are very confident and domineering, so you like exaggerating and you are sometimes very egoistic. You are very creative, you love children and animals, you like to enjoy big time and you love shopping, good food and jewelry, especially gold. You are always in the center of each company, because you are charismatic and a born actor/actress.

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.
