Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Richard 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 Aries

You have an audacious and pioneer, yet also competitive and combatative spirit and a lot of thought energy. You are usually too slapdash and too introverted to be very perspicacious. You perceive the truth instinctively, but often infallibly. You have a healthy way of thinking and such is also your attitude towards life and the world. You don't worry too much about things and this is also part of your self-preservation instinct. Because you are positively oriented, you get something good out of every situation and because of such position, you make decisions in life easier and faster (also if other factors of your horoscope contradict this).

The Part of Fortune in Libra

Most often you acquire happiness in a rather easy way, often also through partnership or cooperation of some sort. In your essence, you strive for calming and balancing opposite forces and such are your actions in all areas; both in your inner world and personal decisions as in relationships and all – important or unimportant – contacts and also in dealing with them. You find deeper satisfaction in harmonizing yourself with your environment, you often find happiness in partnership – also in material sense.

The North Node in Aries

Because your North Node is in Aries, your South Node is in Libra
You often prefer working in partnership or group and look for support and help there, sometimes, however, it makes you numb and you become independent, become too attached, etc. You often connect your personal growth to other people, that is why you need to awake and activate your potentials, focus on independence, being active, decisive and audacious.

Jupiter as culminating planet

Because Jupiter is your culminating planet, you are usually optimistic and cheerful, you often also have luck in business. You often have strong support and also the ability to do good investments. Although you are ambitious and although status and reputation are important to you, you strive for enjoyment in life. You often have several sources of income and are often successful abroad or your businesses are connected with foreign countries. You can be successful in manifold areas; in law, publishing, politics, science and others.

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.

Venus in domicile

You like living large, you love art, delicacies, in short – everything beautiful and delicious. You are interested in art and music, you like cooking and are also a good cook. You are stubborn and often jealous and possessive. You have keen sense of honesty and fairness, so your judgments and opinions are valued and appreciated. At work, you are usually hard-working and reliable, both in business and in partnerships (exceptions, of course, make the rules). You have a talent for painting, you are especially talented in plastic design.

Mars in domicile

You are energetic, dynamic, impetuous and intensive, you have enormous physical energy. You are an athletic, dynamic person, always in motion, you quickly start working on planned things, you are extremely capable and endurable. You have a dominant nature, you are an authority, despite the fact that you make compromises with difficulty. If Mars is in bad aspect, you are usually irritable and pretty aggressive. But if it is situated well in personal horoscope, you are a person, who does your job well, are hearty and enthusiastic and always prepared for action.
