Other important points

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

Because your North Node is in Aquarius, your South Node is in Leo
You are usually a fiery, impulsive, dramatic person who is also prone to exaggerating. You need a lot of attention, constant reaction and audience, you like being in the forefront and being admired by people around you. You don' t know how to make compromises with others and you quickly get upset, if things don't go your way and if you are not in charge. You need to nurture lightness and openness or being perceptive of others and learn how to look at things in broader perspective (and not only from your point of view).

Pluto as culminating planet

Because Pluto is your culminating planet, it is impossible not to notice you; you radiate outstanding inner strength and a unique magnetism, which attracts some and repels others; it is hard to stay insensitive to you, either people like you very much or they find you annoying. You usually do well in any situation, because you have plenty experiences in life because of your warrior ways. Everything you ever learn (and you learn a lot, because you absorb everything and if it is useful knowledge, you suck it dry, if it is useless, you eliminate it), comes in handy one day and you react extremely well. You don't succeed in proven ways and you don't like preordained and trodden paths – you prefer making your own new path with effort and exertion.

Jupiter as rising planet

Because Jupiter is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you have a lot of luck in life and mostly have good health (unless other factors in your horoscope, which indicate differently, are much emphasized). Your childhood is usually happy and comfortable, you get support and help from everywhere. From a young age, you are somewhat wise and fair, curious and audacious, you are interested in everything and can be very successful in numerous areas; in languages, architecture, geography and history, also art. It is useful to direct you also towards sport. You love performing and are often in center of attention. You have a pleasant and attractive appearance and people like you a lot, because you are audacious, enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards life, your company and your opinion are desired. You are sometimes prone to obesity.

Neptune in domicile

Neptune 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 strives for man's return to his primal essence and stand for withdrawal into one's inner world, you find fulfillment in solitude and self-improvement.
