Other important points

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Thomas 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 Gemini

You have a restless, joyous, eternally youthful and extremely active spirit; in your mind, something is always going on and you think extremely fast. In your mind, you are always analyzing and connecting, you are always involved in something. You have a very curious nature (you are interested in the most everyday, the most crazy and unusual things) and you love exploring and making comparisons. You are extremely intelligent and also cunning, but not perspicacious; your spirit is too scattered and your energy too dynamic. In life, you are resourceful and take advantage of everything. In business, you are extremely skillful and accomplished, always one step ahead of others or your opponents.

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 Taurus

Because your North Node is in Taurus, your South Node is in Scorpio
You often have an enormous amount of inner strength and energy, you are passionate and you have strong emotions; you experience everything that is happening to you both on a mental and physical level and you have strong desires and needs. You need to learn to use this inner potential, to transform the sensual energy, realize it through creativity, action and physical work or realize it into tangible things.

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.

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.

Pluto in domicile

Pluto 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 (also because of sexually transmitted diseases) returns to loyalty and proven values and stands for transformation of sexual energy to higher levels, on the other hand, sexuality is where you can find the only and the most satisfying path to exploring inner depths.
