Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Michael 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 Aquarius

You have an incredibly active and creative spirit and are mostly a person who is very intelligent and exceptionally perceptive on all levels. In life you strive to improve everything; both in personal growth as in the relationship towards all systems and social orders, so you are often involved in volunteer work, charity activities, etc. Broader, more general projects, which involve generally important matters, are more important to you and you usually put them above your personal achievements and other trivialities of everyday life and also before relationships. Because of your exceptional broadness of spirit and fresh approach, you have numerous followers, but you are also a person who remains misunderstood.

The Part of Fortune in Capricorn

Because your Part of Fortune is in this sign, you are aware that you are the one who will have to ensure happiness for yourself and you start acting in this direction from an early age; the luckiest outcome or victory, which may seem coincidental to others, is the fruit of carefully planned strategy, which actually occurred in some subconscious program and you are perhaps not even aware of it; all your actions are thus directed into not making your happiness depend on anything or anybody but yourself and all the steps you have taken until that moment. However, because of your firm and realistic attitude towards everything, you sometimes lack spontaneity which would enable you to go with the flow and follow the set of circumstances and consequently, even luckier outcomes.

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).

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.

Saturn as rising planet

Because Saturn is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are serious, realistic, reserved and calm from an early age, and mostly wise and mature. You are interested in manifold areas and you have a studious viewpoint on everything. In life, you are often self-taught, in general supporter of independence; most probably you take care of yourself from an early age, because this makes you feel good or certain circumstances in your childhood demanded this from you. In childhood, you often have weak health or you have certain health issues in this period, which are perhaps connected to bones or joints, also eyesight. Sometimes such position indicates that your mother had difficulties during pregnancy or that delivery was hard or that there were certain problems immediately after birth. However, with years and through development, these problems subside.
