Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Mel 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 Pisces

You may think you are not very lucky in your life, but you are often really not short of anything; although it seems that you are drifting through life without a clear goal or plan, you intuitively know in which direction you have to turn in certain situation, circumstance or period and so you most often intuitively act the way that is best for you. Although you mostly look for your happiness in the spiritual side of life and you often also find it there, you are usually well off also in materialistic sense, because you have deserved this through a certain cohesive thread of all your lives.

The North Node in Sagittarius

Because your North Node is in Sagittarius, your South Node is in Gemini
You are usually a dynamic, fast and clever person who likes to travel and to be very active. You have a very curious nature, you are interested in everything and at the same time you can process an enormous amount of information, but you often get lost in details or you give them too much time, energy and attention. It is important that you expand your interests and set your goals higher, you also need to develop and nurture heartiness (and not only your mind).

Venus as culminating planet

Because Venus is your culminating planet, you usually have a pleasant look and good manners. People appreciate you and want your company, you have numerous friends and acquaintances and you get support or help from many of them. You are interested in beautiful things, such as fashion, cosmetics, also nature, you are often successful in artistic professions, also in social work. In life, you have big possibilities to succeed. Because you are positively oriented and have good nose for business, the right opportunities come your ways and you also know how to use them.

Uranus as rising planet

Because Uranus is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are certainly in some sense special, most often this reflects already in your appearance; you are exciting and special with exceptional creative energy and unbelievable magnetism. With you it is never boring, the question is, if others can keep up with such rhythm; other people often have trouble keeping up with you. You often change things and perhaps you also move a lot. Often such position indicates certain peculiarities from the period of your childhood; perhaps there is a special circumstance regarding your origin or something unusual, not quite ordinary was happening to your family during pregnancy or after your birth or you originate from a family with very progressive beliefs.

Moon in domicile

You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.
