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

Safety means the most to you and you direct all your ambitions into ensuring it; nothing brings you bigger and more lasting happiness than a safe haven. Because of your sensitivity, you instinctively act in a way that is good for you and you can protect yourself from unnecessary and even disturbing events and situations well. In other people, you often awake the desire and willingness to help you; you get the most help and support from people closest to you, parents and relatives, very often you also get extensive financial, not only emotional support.

The North Node in Capricorn

Because your North Node is in Capricorn, your South Node is in Cancer
You are usually a sensitive, vulnerable and reserved person and you don't have much self-confidence. You like hiding and you quickly hide in your shell where you often process what you experienced and felt with pessimism. You need to nurture your firmness and self-confidence and also need to learn how to 'have a thick skin', rise from your emotional depths and direct your rich inner potentials towards fulfilling goals.

Sun as culminating planet

Because the Sun is your culminating planet, you radiate a lot of positive energy and are usually good-natured and kind, even if other factors in your horoscope don't otherwise emphasize this. You have pleasant character and behavior, so people like you very much. You have a positive attitude towards work and usually achieve success in business. You are attracted to politics and are interested in manifold areas, including sport, and you can also achieve good results in numerous of these areas.

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.

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.
