Hello, everyone! I have just learned that my Part of Fortune is in Leo 7'55". Can anyone shed a little light on what that might mean? Thanks for all the help, past, present, and future.
That is something that doesn't make sense to me. All of the strong influences in my tenth house. Leo Sun, POF Leo, True Node Leo...it would make me sound like I am a driven, extroverted, outgoing, tyrannical where only my career matters....yet, I find myself to *need* more alone time than I need constant adult interaction. I am comfortable alone with my thoughts and my family most of the time. I find myself to be very cautious, reserved, and a bit shy.
I have Cancer on MC. I think that explains some things. I don't think I am restricting traits, simply because that is how I feel/am.
sc8583 said:I see nobody has posted in this topic in a while, but I've been reading Liz Greene's "Astrology of Fate" and she reminded me of the Part of Fortune. I remembered mine was close to my Sun, so I calculated it and indeed mine is conjunct my Sun, both at 12 Leo, in house 11. Can anyone with more insight cue me into the significance this conjunction may have for me?
I might mention that I have always felt my Leo sun "glowing" within me, but my chart is incredibly dominated by Mercury with Virgo Rising, a Gemini Moon conjunct Gemini MC, and Mercury and Venus conjunct in Virgo in the more unconsciously-based House 12 (perhaps my interest in astrology, depth psychology, etc.). I also have Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Sag in House 3, and Saturn conjunct Pluto (yikes) in Libra in House 2. Would my Part of Fortune indicate I need to channel my relatively unaspected Sun (only a trine to Uranus) somehow despite all these other dominating planets?
I have found that the sign of the Part of Fortune and its ruler give very good information on profession as it relates to making money along with the tenth house (counted in the usual manner from the Ascendant). The tenth sign from the sign of the Part of Fortune is also very good for helping to describe the actual social role that the occupation serves. The eleventh sign from the Part has a special role in determining both how well and by what means one earns money. Astrologers who actually earn money from doing astrology have been seen to have Mercury in the sign of the Part of Fortune, or the eleventh sign from the Part of Fortune, or ruling either of these. Mercury is the ancient ruler of astrology before Uranus was discovered. And I would have to say that it still works! The ancient writers also said that the Part of Fortune and the houses derived from it had to with the body, health, and actions that are done spontaneously or on an emotional basis.
Another interesting Fortuna house is the seventh. While it may have something to do with relationships, its primary symbolism seems to derive from its being the opposition to the Part itself, and the effect is stronger if a point in the seventh Fortuna place is closer to the exact opposition to the Part of Fortune. One of the oldest significations of the seventh house was death because the Sun set there and its light was extinguished. The Fortuna seventh of course is not a sunset point, but since the Part of Fortune has something to do with the body, the opposition to the Part seems to have something to with illness and physical problems.
