Nostradamus’s birth chart
Other important points
4 December 1503, 12:00, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Nostradamus 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 Taurus
You have a firm and healthy spirit and are generally a very realistic and rational person. In all situations, no matter how complicated and delicate, you have the ability to have an objective viewpoint, because you have a healthy attitude towards everything. You have an infallible sense of justice and you can't act differently but in a fair way. You do all projects and important matters in temperate, thoughtful and cautious manner. You are not too enthusiastic about just anything, but when you realize that something is right, you may become an avid supporter. You have a good sense of judging people and a sense of value of things. In life you follow real and tested values.
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 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...).
Mercury as culminating planet
Because Mercury is your culminating planet, you are usually very dynamic and incredibly youthful. You are constantly on the road and are always involved in some business; you are successful in marketing, writing, publishing and similar areas. In your work, you help yourself with many connections; you are always on the road and are very sociable, so you know many people who are also willing to help and follow you, because you have good rhetorical skills and can be very convincing. You are very clever and resourceful, you need a dynamic profession, otherwise you start getting bored.
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.
Pluto in domicile
Pluto 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 (also because of sexually transmitted diseases) returns to loyalty and proven values and stands for transformation of sexual energy to higher levels, on the other hand, sexuality is where you can find the only and the most satisfying path to exploring inner depths.
