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 Virgo

You are usually a very rational, extremely intelligent and resourceful person. You think very quickly and you also have a perspicacious nature, but it also happens, that you lose your thread, because you focus too much to individual parts in the mosaic. You have an analytical and exploring spirit and a natural need for order, storing and arranging everything; it brings you peace and satisfaction and also puts things in the right place. You start important projects by first thinking them through in your head, you do everything attentively and meticulously. You have a good attitude towards health, you take a lot of interest in yourself; your attitude towards yourself, your thoughts, views and actions are pure and often ascetic.

The Part of Fortune in Virgo

You are modest in your expectations and wishes. For you, happiness is not something which will fall out of the sky, but the result of long and hard work and mostly of good methods and sensible actions, and you are prepared to make sacrifices to ensure a better tomorrow; so you definitely don't live with your head up in the clouds and you prefer building your future happiness as you go along and without the help of others, because you don't like relying on others, let alone things that are built on clouds. Small trivialities and the most everyday errands make you happy, you also find fulfillment in activities you do for others (such as caring and nurturing).

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).

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.

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.
