The Part of Fortune is a
very foretelling marker within your personal astrological chart. We sometimes focus so much attention on our
Sun sign and planets that we completely overlook this ancient part that
signifies where we feel most rooted and fortunate in life. It is our personal “jackpot” and not
necessarily of a material nature but more so of the karmic spiritual energies
that sustain us even through the toughest of times.
The Part of Fortune symbolizes
the place in the horoscope where the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant (rising sign) are
in harmony. The Sun is our vitality, the nature through which the spirit
expresses itself in the physical world and the ascendant is the filter for the
Sun until the age of 30 or in a sense, the age when we finally feel confident
enough to express our true self.
Our Moon sign is indicative
of how we emotionalize things, and the habits that we form along the way of
maturing spiritually. The Moon
represents where we feel at home and our roots, especially those connecting us
with our inner child. The Part of Fortune represents where we come together in
a blending of Solar, Ascendant, and Lunar energies to experience an integration
of our complete being. Honestly, when we
feel connected physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually that is when
we are the most “FORTUNATE.”
The Part of Fortune is sensitive to transits
and when you take into account the sign and house of the Part of Fortune you
can see the general flavor and area of life where these energies manifest. It is
particularly strong if it is in the First or Tenth house, or if it forms a
conjunction, sextile or trine to either Venus or Jupiter, the “good guy”
planets. It is also beneficial if it is conjunct the North Node. The Part of Fortune is noted in the
astrological chart by the symbol of an “X” within a circle. It is where you are
“kissed” by fate.
