Part of Fortune

This is the best well known of all different fictitious parts of an Astrological Portrait, that are known as Parts or Arabian Points.

Calculating the Lot or Part of Fortune is based on the position of the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant. It is considered that these three energies are quite important for men and they exert such a quiet great influence over one’s personality.

The Sun symbolizes its identity and its conscious objectives; the Moon represents the emotional side, as well as the conscious and the unconscious parts; while the Ascendant, with a visible personality, expresses, in some way, both the Sun and the Moon..

The relationship between these three elements is called pars fortunae, Part of Fortune. This sensible point shows the place in the Astrological Portrait, where the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant can meet in the most congruent way. Hence, it shows the sphere of life in which we better can achieve true happiness (the sign tells us ‘Why’ and the corresponding house ‘Where’) it shows us the place where our hidden treasure is, our future.
