Q: What exactly is the Part of Fortune and what does it signify?<\/p>\n
A:\u00a0 It is an Arabian Part calculation, based on the geometric angle between the Sun and the Moon; placing the Sun on the Ascendant, where the Moon would be is where you find the Part of Fortune.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, it is your Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow.<\/p>\n
Martin Schulman in \u201cJoy and the Part of Fortune\u201d says it is where you find your Joy, and you usually find it around the middle of life.\u00a0 His book was twice in my life lifted from me, and finally I recently bought a second hand copy from the internet \u2013 it is currently out of print.<\/p>\n
My own interpretation is that it is the refining of one\u2019s philosophy of life that you build up through life and gets you by, but at the same time is a subtle joie de vivre or joy of existence which you can catch sometimes, like a bubble, spontaneously and sometimes out of dimension.\u00a0 I see it as the zest of life, and it can also point to talents which can become a career doing what you love to do.<\/p>\n
A friend of mine has the Part of Fortune exactly on her Midheaven (Careerpoint) and a sustaining feature of her life has been using her talents in competitions, regularly winning holidays and household goods using her amazing facility for writing slogans.<\/p>\n
The actress Jennifer Aniston has her Part of Fortune exactly on the cusp between her 10th<\/sup> House of Career and 11th<\/sup> House of Friendships and Groups, and her big breakthrough as an actress came through a television show named \u201cFriends\u201d.<\/p>\n The Part of Fortune is a uniquely fascinating feature in Astrology.\u00a0 If you do not know a person\u2019s time of birth, you can still find out which House the Part of Fortune occupies in their chart, even though the planetary House positions are a mystery.\u00a0 Thus it can be the only House position known in that case.<\/p>\n When you have a transit of a natal planet to your Part of Fortune, dramatic changes can occur in your life, often for the better, e.g. dreams can come true, long-standing problems can be lifted.<\/p>\n Each day the Part of Fortune makes a revolution round your chart, and at certain moments when it is transiting sensitive areas in your chart, it can produce breakthrough thoughts which help you look at life differently.\u00a0 However, because it has a very subtle influence, you can blink and miss it.<\/p>\n People born under a New Moon are \u201cPart of Fortune\u201d people!\u00a0 This is because the Part of Fortune is always to be found natally on their Ascendant, and influences their personality in a positive way \u2013 they can always start afresh on a New Moon with a new outlook, and have a useful key to living.<\/p>\n An example of a singer whose inspiration for songwriting is continually self-renewing is Joan Armatrading.\u00a0 She was born on a New Moon and has always written her own material.\u00a0 I went to a concert of hers a few years ago, and the atmosphere at her gig was devotional.<\/p>\n My own Part of Fortune is trine with my Uranus (representing Astrology), and I have spent a few days thinking about this topic, since I was asked the question.\u00a0 As I completed this reply, Chiron (providing a solution) was exactly sextile with the Part of Fortune.\u00a0 Transiting Part of Fortune is very fleeting, so I am now on to my next question\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Q: What exactly is the Part of Fortune and what does it signify?
