What is the Part of Fortune?
It certainly has an intriguing name. Most of us have our dreams; that pot-of-gold that we seek. And to the astrological community, that is exactly what the Part of Fortune indicates: the 'pot-of-gold' that is waiting at the end of our own personal rainbows. The key is to understand that the pot-of-gold referred to here manifests as what best serves the purpose and evolution of our soul, not our ego.

I've got a really important question to ask so please forgive me if I may be slightly off topic.

When having my Natal Chart done @ Astro.com (extended chart) they give me for my PoF 17degs Leo, but when I completed the calculations @ the Arabic Parts Calculator it comes out completeley different. Please explain?!?:sad:

Thanks everybody!
Love, Serafin5:cool:

Serafin, what was the formula the Arabic Parts Calculator used? Also, post your chart and maybe someone can shed some light on why the disparity.

Many astrologers use different calculations depending upon whether you have a day or a night birth. (i.e., is your sun above (day) or below (night) the AC/DC axis?) Some astrologers use the same calculation regardless. I think the chart calculator at Astrodienst automatically distinguishes, unless you tell it not to.

As per my knowledge, understanding and little experience i dont who invented part of fortuna ..i heard it is what the arabians used motsly long long back then folowed through years indeed ages.....very important...mainly it is used to know about money potentials of a person..and there are indeed manythings attached to this significator...If it is placed in any accidental dignities greatly favours luck ... conjoining with mc or asc is a sign of success...good aspect to moon is a boon

here are some more for information

POF
http://www.astrotherapy.eu/ParsFortunae.htm
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-5210.html


“However, in the case of both significations one must keep in mind that no one indication in the chart, not even the Part of Fortune, can be taken by itself as a total indicator of any area of life. For health one must also look at the Ascendant, its ruler, the Moon and its ruler. Also the sixth and eighth houses as indicators of illness and death respectively have strong indications for health. For material prosperity one should also look at the second house, the tenth house, and their rulers.”
http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_fortune_e.htm

“The fortune indicated by this part is not necessarily materialistic or even tangible, though it can be. It depends on the sign and house location of the Part of Fortune. The benefit can be on the physical, intellectual, emotional, and/or spiritual plane of experience. In all cases it is through the cultivation and expression of this point that one will experience harmony and a sense of well-being.”
http://www.astroresources.com/fortune.htm

“The Part of Fortune represents worldly success, and is associated with the physical body and health as well. It can be indicative of the career or vocation. Worldly success and prosperity are associated with the Part of Fortune, and both its sign and house placement suggests innate abilities and talents--areas of life and qualities that are expressed naturally.”

"Some formulas listed here have both an AM and PM version. The PM version is a reverse of the AM version and when indicated, persons born in the daytime (Sun in 7th - 12th houses) should use the AM formula while persons born in the evening (Sun in 1st - 6th houses) should use the PM formula. Sometimes it's best to try both formulas."
Check the placement of the Sun in the chart, it must be sensibly placed relative to the horizon for the given time of day. For a day birth, the Sun must be above the horizon.

From astro.com explanations on POF
We use different formulae for Pars Fortunae for a day birth than for a night birth. You can change this rule with an option in the extended chart selection.
The day formula is: ASC + Moon - Sun
The night formula: ASC + Sun - Moon
Astrologers differ in their views about which formula to use for Pars Fortunae.
