Part of Fortune
The Part of Fortune combines Ascendant, Sun and Moon through a day-or-night formula; it is a calculated relationship, not a planet.
The idea in context
The Part of Fortune is a calculated lot derived from the Ascendant, Sun, and Moon with a day-or-night formula. Astrological tradition uses it to reflect embodied ease, circumstances, and the integration of identity and instinct.
