Part of Fortune in Advance Astrology
PART OF FORTUNE:
PART ONE
by ARLENE A. KRAMER
Mankind's fascination with the Sun-Moon-Earth relationship has extended beyond
the basic waxing and waning of the Moon (the Lunation Cycle.) For thousands of
years, this relationship has been expanded by Astrologers to include the Fixed Stars,
the zodiacal constellations, house systems, and the angles (Midheaven, Ascendant,
Vertex.) Many of these expanded relationships have been codified and named the
Arabic Parts. Perhaps the most familiar of these Arabic Parts, and possibly the most
useful, is the Part of Fortune or Pars Fortuna.
Traditionally, the Part of Fortune indicates the area in the horoscope where the
owner of the horoscope feels that "good fortune" is smiling on him. To some, "good
fortune" means that money abounds, to others it means public recognition and
acclaim, and to others, it means love, good health, and good luck. The clue,
according to tradition, to the personal interpretation of "good fortune" lies in the sign
and house placement of the Part of Fortune.
The Part of Fortune will be the exact amount of degrees and minutes distant from the
Ascendant as the Moon is distant from the Sun. So, for example, if the Moon is 73
degrees after the Sun (within the second eighth of the Lunation Cycle), the Part of
Fortune will be 73 degrees after the Ascendant. The same example, in zodiacal
terms could have the Ascendant at 10 degrees Taurus, the Sun at 00 Gemini, and
the Moon at 13 degrees Leo. (This is a distance of the 73 degrees mentioned
above.) Because the Ascendant is 10 degrees Taurus, the Part of Fortune is 73
degrees later, or 23 degrees of Cancer. The sign of the Part of Fortune is dependent
on the sign and degree of the Ascendant, leading to a wide variety of possible signs
for the Part of Fortune on any given day.
The house position of the Part of Fortune, however, depends upon the distance that
the Moon is from the Sun. For example, in a natal chart cast for right after the New
Moon, the Part of Fortune will be in the First house, because the Moon has not yet
moved far from the Sun, and the Part of Fortune is close to the Ascendant. As
another example of house position, consider the hours after a Full Moon, when the
Part of Fortune is in the seventh house because the Moon is located a little bit more
than 180 degrees from the Sun.
There is a possibility that the Part of Fortune will make an aspect to one of the
planets in the natal horoscope. Traditionally, conjunctions and oppositions carry the
most significance; squares have lesser significance, and trines even less so. The
significance is in the nature of the planet aspected, and may be discussed in a future
article.
In this and future articles, we will examine the significance of the location of the Part
of Fortune by house, by sign, and by planetary aspect. Let us begin by examining
the significance of the position of the Part of Fortune as it relates to the houses.
relationships and partnerships. The Part of Fortune in the seventh house might lead
to partnerships with wealthy people.
PART OF FORTUNE IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE:
The person with his Part of Fortune in the eighth house is like a walking testimonial
to eighth house matters if he uses this placement correctly. He is interested in the
occult, has good powers of regeneration and rejuvenation, and can be an expert at
investigation, research, detective work. He can keep a secret so well that he is like
an international diplomat, and he can indeed earn a living this way. This person can
also make a living based on the talents and abilities of others, as a theatrical agent
or manage other people's money. This person is usually very attractive, due to
personal magnetism.
PART OF FORTUNE IN THE NINTH HOUSE:
The person with his Part of Fortune in the ninth house usually finds expression
through travel, philosophy, higher education, philosophical thought, spirituality, or
publishing. He may find his fortunes far from home. This person can profit through
and from people at a distance. His studies bring insights to him which he uses to
help other people. This is a person who can be a natural clairvoyant as well. Most of
this person's labors are mental. This is a person who is always broadening his vistas
and expanding his education
PART OF FORTUNE IN THE TENTH HOUSE:
The person with his Part of Fortune in the tenth house knows, deep down, that he
must fulfill his role in society. He chooses a field where he can be a Professional
Person. This person needs a place in the outside world, where his status and
position is high and his name is associated with the field that he is in. This is the
house of recognition and public standing, of career and ambition, of success and
responsibility. Remember, this is Capricorn's house, so the person whose Part of
Fortune is here is not afraid of hard work and effort if there is a goal to be reached.
PART OF FORTUNE IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE:
The person with his Part of Fortune in the eleventh house is usually way ahead of
the time in which he lives when it comes to his mentality, his dreams, hopes, goals,
and his view of the world. This is a person who thinks in terms of Brotherhood,
altruistic unity, Humanitarian values. He wants to do things that benefit society as a
whole. This is why he sometimes sees himself as a reformer of sorts, improving
social, cultural, or spiritual values in those around him. He wants better conditions for
his community as well as for humanity.
PART OF FORTUNE IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE:
The person with his Part of Fortune in the twelfth house has a unique opportunity to
transform or dissolve his own Karma. This is a person who has mediumistic talents
and the gift of prophecy. His dreams often give him answers. His flair for spirituality,
mysticism, illusion, and fantasy can be productive in film, television, and works of
fiction. Though he may not know it when it happens, his enemies will frequently
change their attitude from hostility to neutrality, and sometimes even to benevolence.
He is generally unaware of his good fortune. The person with his Part of Fortune in
the twelfth house is treated well by health-care professionals.
The Part of Fortune's meaning, just like a planet's meaning, is sensitive to house
placement, as just shown. It is also sensitive, just like a planet is, to the sign of the
zodiac in which it finds itself. In a future article, as we continue our investigation of
the meanings of the Part of Fortune, we will look at the Part of Fortune in each of the
twelve signs.
Part of Fortune and Planets
The last few Advanced Astrology columns have been devoted to the Part of Fortune,
or Pars Fortuna, as an outgrowth of the Lunation Cycle. The Part of Fortune was
described in its relation to the house placements and sign placements. Just as with
any other zodiacal sensitive point, the Part of Fortune can also be defined in its
relationship to other zodiacal elements, such as the planets.
Any planet in conjunction with the Part of Fortune will yield an increase in the
potency of that planet. This is the aspect most clearly seen. A planet in opposition to
the Part of Fortune will yield a form of detachment in the use of that planet. A planet
in square to the Part of Fortune sometimes indicates that the planet is involved in the
drive to achieve the happiness promised by the Part of Fortune. Trines to the Part of
Fortune indicate that the way is made easy for the person to find his happiness and
success. Remember, please, that it takes the whole chart to tell you the potentials in
a person's life. Let us look at some examples of the meanings of a planet as it makes
major aspects with the attributes of the Part of Fortune.
Sun and the Part of Fortune: When you see a horoscope where the Sun is conjunct
the Part of Fortune, remember how we arrive at the Part of Fortune. The Ascendant
and the Moon and the Sun itself combine to show us where the avenue to
happiness, success, and sheer joy is located. We look to the house, we look to the
sign, and now we look to the planet to tell us more. When the Sun is conjunct the
Part of Fortune, the person can shine with his whole being in response to the solar
illumination.
Moon and the Part of Fortune: If a person is born at sunrise, the Part of Fortune will
be conjunct the Moon; if he is born at sunset, the Part of Fortune will be opposite the
Moon. Remember how we arrive at the Part of Fortune! The emotional nature,
nurturing nature, security themes, or public life will be an avenue for achieving Part
of Fortune happiness and success.
Mercury and the Part of Fortune: If Mercury is with the Part of Fortune, this person
will use his mental faculties and an intellectual approach in finding his happiness and
success. He will also find it extremely easy to communicate, either in speech or
writing.
Venus and the Part of Fortune: If Venus is with the Part of Fortune, the potency of
Venus will be enhanced, and the person will have tremendous personal charm. He
will probably also be good looking. Harmony and balance come easily to him.
Mars and the Part of Fortune: If Mars is with the Part of Fortune, the potency of Mars
will be enhanced in its more positive forms. The person with this conjunction will
exhibit assertive and pioneering qualities instinctively. He will be able to focus on one
endeavor at a time, and work at it by himself to completion.
Jupiter and the Part of Fortune: If Jupiter is conjunct the Part of Fortune, the potency
of Jupiter will be enhanced in all of its positive forms. The person with this
conjunction will be naturally optimistic, certain that all situations will turn out fine, and
in general happy with every day as they take him closer to success and wealth and
joy.
Saturn and the Part of Fortune: If Saturn is conjunct the Part of Fortune, the potency
of the positive attributes of Saturn will be enhanced. The person with this conjunction
will have a serious approach to life, with a sense of determination to fulfill his destiny,
and a sense of responsibility to the world. Both Benjamin Franklin and George
Washington had this conjunction.
Uranus and the Part of Fortune: If Uranus is conjunct the Part of Fortune, the
potency of Uranus will be enhanced. The person with this conjunction will be
innovative, original, unique, and inventive. This conjunction might even indicate a
potential for learning Astrology. This person would also have gifts and talents when
involved with scientific technology and computers.
Neptune and the Part of Fortune: If Neptune is conjunct the Part of Fortune,
happiness and success will come easily to the person who uses Neptune in positive
ways. Positive outlets are those of metaphysics, spiritual work, the arts, music,
marine life, underwater exploration, and space exploration.
Pluto and the Part of Fortune: If Pluto is conjunct the Part of Fortune, the potency of
Pluto will be enhanced in its positive forms. The person with this conjunction can find
happiness and success in all forms of detective work, ranging from crime solving to
investigating the atom, from studying genetic engineering to manipulating DNA to
cure cancer and AIDS. He can study the mysteries of life in order to transform and
improve life on Earth for all mankind.
Just as planets in one's natal horoscope interact with the horoscopes of others (his
Jupiter on my Moon, etc.) so does the Part of Fortune. Next week, we will conclude
our study of the Part of Fortune in the natal horoscope with an investigation of this
relationship.
Part of Fortune in the Signs
In every beginners' class that I teach, I repeat and repeat, "The planets have the
POWER; the signs tell HOW; the houses tell WHERE." These phrases mean that the
planet you are investigating tells what kind of activity will take place; the sign
describes the zodiacal style which characterizes the activity; the house describes the
area of life in which this activity will take place.
In our investigation of the Part of Fortune so far, we have seen that the Part of
Fortune is an outgrowth of the Lunation Cycle in relation to the Ascendant of the
horoscope. The Part of Fortune, or Pars Fortuna, is therefore a three-dimensional
Sensitive Point in the horoscope, but it is not a planet. It is a place where we can find
happiness, experience gain, and feel fortunate, in accordance with the house and
sign it inhabits. We have already seen the manifestation of the Part of Fortune in
each of the twelve houses. Now let us look at the manifestation of the Part of
Fortune in each of the twelve signs.
