Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Robert 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 Cancer

You are mostly a very sensitive person, when it comes to yourself and your world. You are also very compassionate and easily touched by other people. You consider everything through before you act, although your reactions to events are actually usually very emotional. You frequently make conclusions based on past experiences, that is why you rarely change your viewpoints. You are often involved in past events and situations; you don't find satisfaction, until all events or all situations which you worry about are safely put in their place and match a certain pattern, by which you explain vitally important things in life. Intuition helps you handle even the most important life situations.

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 Gemini

Because your North Node is in Gemini, your South Node is in Sagittarius
You are usually a fast, clever, swift and perceptive, but also a scattered person. You realize things impetuously, you dramatize and exaggerate and often have goals that are too high in terms of realistic options. You need to learn how to tame your strong emotions in terms of you intellectual and business area, focus more attention to individual and essential details, also to communication and cooperation with others.

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.

Mars as rising planet

Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.
