The Part of Fortune Meaning

In a chart the poistion of the Part of Fortune represents the following:

 

  • Indicates good luck, grace and favor.
  • Suggests ease of wealth.
  • The house and sign indicate the quality of the fortune.
  • Consider the planetary ruler (of the sign) and its condition.

Calculating the Part of Fortune

There are two methods of calculating the position of the Part of Fortune whcih depends on your chart.

If you were born when the Sun is above the horizon it is a Daytime chart, if you were born when the Sun is below the horizon it is a nighttime chart.

 

Day and Night Charts

Daytime chart

A daytime chart is one where the Sun is placed above the horizon (in the south).

In a daytime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Moon would be if the Sun were on the ascendant.

Nighttime chart

A night-time chart is one where the Sun is placed below the horizon (in the north).

In a nighttime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Sun would be if the Moon were on the ascendant.

 

Part of Fortune – Calculation

There are two ways to calculate the Part of Fortune using the longitude degrees of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant

 

In a daytime chart

 

ASC – Sun + Moon = Part of Fortune

 

In a nighttime chart

 

ASC + Sun – Moon = Part of Fortune

Part of Fortune Calculation Examples

Example: Ascendant at 10° Gemini, Moon at 20° Virgo, and Sun at 15° Aquarius.

 

Ascendant’s position         10° + 60° = 70°

Moon’s position              20° + 150° = 170°

Sun’s position                 15° + 300° = 315°  

Daytime Chart Calculation

 If: ASC + Moon – Sun = Part of Fortune

Then:   70° + 170°  – 315° = POF

                                           -75° = POF

                                  -75° + 360° = POF

                                           285°  = POF

     (Capricorn 270°) so 285° – 270° = POF

Capricorn 15° = Part of Fortune

 

Nighttime Chart Calculation

If: ASC – Moon + Sun = Part of Fortune

Then: 70° – 170° + 315° = POF

                                             215° = POF

         (Scorpio 210°) so 215° – 210° = POF  

                                     Scorpio 05° = POF

The Part of Fortune and Money

The Part of Fortune has much to say about financial issues because in our society money is fortune.

That is not to say that your fortune cannot come in other guises like fortunate spouses, children or friends.

That fortune is often better when it is not financially related is quite clear to many New Age travelers.

We will consider the Part of Fortune as a financial indicator in your chart.

 

The Condition of the Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is well placed for finances when it is:

  • In a money house – 2nd, 5th, 8th or 11th.
  • In Taurus or Libra – Venus’ signs.
  • Conjoined the Sun.
  • Conjoined Venus or Jupiter.
  • Trine Venus or Jupiter.
  • Sextile Venus of Jupiter.
  • In an angular house 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th.
  • Trine the ruler of the second house or the other money houses.

The Part of Fortune is poorly placed when it is:

  • In a cadent house – 3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th.
  • Square or opposite the traditional malefic planets (Mars or Saturn).
  • Has a retrograde sign ruler.

The Part of Fortune’s Sign

The sign that the part of fortune is in shows the nature of the fortune in line with the meaning of the sign.

 

The Part of Fortune’s Sign Ruler

The Part of Fortune is an interesting point of the astrological puzzle.

A thorough understanding of the main parts of a chart are needed to understand the Part of Fortune.

The Part of Fortune is one of those things that, if it is not well-placed, it does nothing and if it is well-placed will do much for the person whose chart it is.

Conjunctions to the Part of Fortune

Any planet conjoined the part of fortune will influence the nature of the fortune.

This is the powerful influence for the person’s fortune.

A conjunction to the part of fortune can sometimes overshadow the sign and the sign ruler because the planet is well-placed.

 

Oppositions the Squares to the Part of Fortune

Either an opposition or a square from any planet to the part of fortune will modify the nature of the fortune.

This shows challenges along the way towards your fortune.

This person is fortunate indeed.

New Moon and the Part of Fortune

New Moon and the Part of Fortune

New Moon

When the Part of Fortune is on the ascendant it means it is New Moon.

Actually it is because it is New Moon the Part of Fortune will be on the ascendant.

A New Moon is potent because it is the seed moment in the Sun / Moon positions and the beginning point of the lunar cycle.

All things are possible now as the month unfolds.

Part of Fortune

Normally the Part of Fortune indicates through which realm of activities you will benefit and this is shown by its house position.

If the Part of Fortune is on an angle it becomes prominent and when conjoined the ascendant it has top billing in the chart.

The only other better place for the Part of Fortune to be is conjunct the Sun and Moon and on the ascendant.

 

Part of Fortune Conjoined the Ascendant

The Part of Fortune on the ascendant colors your whole chart.

Admittedly it is not a planet but a point in space.

However when placed on the sensitive ascendant the emphasis for the Part of Fortune increases and it gains prominence.

In the first house the Part of Fortune is well placed to benefit you throughout your life.

You come across as simply fortunate and appear to have a good life even a desirable one.

You are likely to have personal looks that are deemed attractive in your era.

You will be perceived as a classic beauty for women and considered handsome for men.

You are seen by others to be well off and to be from a good background.

Others perceive you as fortunate and bestow grace and favors on you.

It can become a self-fulfilling prophesy.

 

Part of Fortune Condition

All this is interpreted by the backdrop of the sign in which the Part of Fortune is placed.

The planet that rules the sign in which the Part of Fortune is placed is known as the dispositor or the Lord of the Part of Fortune and is an important planet to consider for this analysis.

If the ascendant sign and the Part of Fortune sign are the same then that planet gains influence over the fortune being given over this lifetime.

 

Part of Fortune calculations

The position of the Moon in relation to the Sun determines the placement for the Part of Fortune.

Daytime chart formula is

Ascendant – Sun + Moon = PoF

Nighttime chart formula is

Ascendant + Sun – Moon = PoF

A daytime chart is one where the Sun is in the seventh to the twelfth houses.

A nighttime chart finds the Sun is in the first to the sixth houses.
