Other important points

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 Libra

You often seem to find yourself in a dilemma, because you constantly weigh or decide between two options. You have a reconcilable and well-meaning spirit, so you mostly have a very good and mild influence on people (even if other most important positions show a somewhat different picture at first glance); everybody feels good in your company, because of your benevolence, sense of fairness and your need to deal with every subject by taking all sides into consideration. Although you sometimes consequently seem a bit opportunistic, you are basically just capable and ready to accept other people's views. Because of these characteristics, you do very well in life and mostly don't have major problems (unless some other very strong factor influences this).

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 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...).

Uranus as culminating planet

Because Uranus is your culminating planet, you do manifold things in life and you get something useful out of every one. Other people definitely notice you. You have a very resourceful and dynamic nature and open vision, also enough energy and drive to fulfill your plans. Because you are magnetic to others and they usually find you attractive, one way or the other, and interesting, many also follow you. Whatever you do and in whatever area you do it, it will always be something interesting, new and original. You accept only the rules that you find practical and you introduce new, your own. Because you are so stubborn and always before your time, others often don't understand you, but you don't worry about what other people say. Although you often seem distant, you intuitively usually evaluate every situation well.

Saturn as rising planet

Because Saturn is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are serious, realistic, reserved and calm from an early age, and mostly wise and mature. You are interested in manifold areas and you have a studious viewpoint on everything. In life, you are often self-taught, in general supporter of independence; most probably you take care of yourself from an early age, because this makes you feel good or certain circumstances in your childhood demanded this from you. In childhood, you often have weak health or you have certain health issues in this period, which are perhaps connected to bones or joints, also eyesight. Sometimes such position indicates that your mother had difficulties during pregnancy or that delivery was hard or that there were certain problems immediately after birth. However, with years and through development, these problems subside.

Sun in domicile

You are energetic, optimistic and fun. Reputation and status mean a lot to you, you love glamour and power. You are very confident and domineering, so you like exaggerating and you are sometimes very egoistic. You are very creative, you love children and animals, you like to enjoy big time and you love shopping, good food and jewelry, especially gold. You are always in the center of each company, because you are charismatic and a born actor/actress.

Moon in domicile

You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.

Mercury in domicile

You are usually skilled in businesses of Mercury; communication, commerce, writing, speech, etc. You are fast, agile, resourceful and adaptable, also devious and cunning. As a rule, you have a gift of articulation and so have good rhetorical skills, you also pass on your knowledge in a quality and interesting way. You are intelligent and funny, you like novelties and constant happening and you love travelling. You are always somehow on the road, you are interested in everything and you learn something new out of every situation, which is beneficial for you in the future.
