Does Part of Fortune work for you and how?

Post by lagitane »

I am not an expert on astrology and I have never really used Arabic Parts when looking at horoscopes, because I am sufficiently lost with the amount of data I have without them :). But recently I got intrigued by the Part of Fortune. Mine doesn't seem to work at all. It is located in Virgo, in 2nd house, 2 degrees from the cusp and I have never had any particular luck with money (and I cannot say I have been particularly unlucky neither). Transits to this point don't seem to do anything at all.
I gave up on it and stopped paying attention, but then I realized that my husband's Part of Fortune apparently works. Whenever some beneficial planet transits his Part of Fortune (in the 8th house, in Aries), something really lucky happens to him, especially in financial terms. Jupiter transits through this point always bring something super-big, but even smaller ones, like Venus bring him evident good luck. In a few months time, he will experience Uranus transit through his Part of Fortune. On top of that, his Part of Fortune conjuncts my Midheaven, so Uranus will go through his Part of Fortune and my Midheaven at practically the same time. Now, being confused about the Part of Fortune, I have no idea how much attention this upcoming transit deserves. Maybe we should go and try to gamble in the casino when the day of exact conjunction comes? :) Or maybe I should sit and work harder and start some new projects, in hope that this Uranus transiting my MC means a change in my "career" so significant that it will affect his "fortune". It would be nice to figure that out, so we don't miss any chances out there.

So I have some questions. Does Part of Fortune work for you at all? Do you notice that something significant happens when you experience transits through it? Do only transits that conjunct it work, or others as well? Has anybody experienced Uranus conjunct Part of Fortune transit? Did it do anything? For good or for bad?

Hi lagitane, and welcome.

First of all, it’s vital that in order to find the exact position of the P of F, the time of birth needs to be precise, as this is used, along with the Sun and Moon’s positions, to calculate its position. Times of birth can be quite tricky, depending on the source (parents’ memories, Birth Certificates; and even Hospital records, etc. can be ‘iffy’ for various reasons). Also, the calculation of such needs adjusting according to whether it’s a ‘day’ or ‘night’ birth. (Presumably you’re using a computed P of F, so that part of it should be correct).

All being correct (and I’m having some doubts about that, given that you experience nothing at all with transits to your P of F), then you would look at the ruler of the Sign in which the Part falls, the House in which the Ruler falls, along with the aspects to it. So IF your P of F is correct, the state of it’s ruling planet will give clues about how ‘lucky’ it is. (There’s a very good article on this matter here: http://www.astro.com/info/in_fortune_e.htm ).

Re the matter of Transiting Uranus on your Midheaven, IF your Time of Birth is absolutely correct, then T. Uranus conj. MC should bring about some radical changes in your career, or at least in your attitude towards your career. However, and again, how this functions will be relevant to many many other matters such as, the House Uranus is in natally, the House it rules, and the aspects to your natal Uranus and to your Midheaven – which, if your birth time is not correct, will also be incorrect.

As to your question: “...maybe we should go and gamble at a casino...”, well, personally I wouldn’t advocate this re Uranus conj. Midheaven, as that isn’t what it’s about.

Personally I haven’t used the P of F for quite some time as I haven’t found it relevant, at least to the way in which I use astrology. The Arabic parts intrigued me for quite a while, but in the end I found that they, along with the many many other possible points and bodies such as the thousands of Asteroids, just confused the main and vital issues.

But it’s all about personal preference and usage and perhaps others here on the Forum will chime in with their own ideas about it.

Hope that helps, at least in some small way. :wink:

Best,

I even don't think fortune work. You made your own fortune. So, it's better to make your own fortune yourself.

Hello everyone, I am here because I've recently been to an astrologer and got the personal map, but I hope even more questions now than before. Firstly, maybe you know if the prognosis aka "which country is the best for you" is true. I was pretty surprised by the results and I am a bit afraid to believe in that. Secondly, she told me about an illness that might kill me. But she also said that each planet has a positive part and a negative one, so I can work on turning the luck on my side. I've read some information about that but there where no details how exactly to do that. Or should I just visit my doctor more often?

Re "which country is best for you?": This would take an extraordinary amount of work to figure out, and from all the work I've done on Relocation Charts, it's best that someone first decide, which country they wish to move to. From this information, an astrologer can then set up a Relocation Chart and look at where - in which Houses of the chart - each of your planets will function.

Re being told that an "illness will kill you" is - in my opinion - irresponsible, not least because all such a prediction can do is fill the person with fear...especially someone who knows little about astrology.

It is fair to say that there are positive and negative qualities to each planet. However, it's not about 'luck', it's about working with the energies available and using them to discover more about yourself so that you can then understand how to use those energies positively.

This is all - necessarily - an over-simplification, but clearly you need to find an experienced astrologer to guide you...or better still, begin your own studies on the subject.

Best,
Admin.
