Frequently asked questions
What is the Part of Fortune?
The Part of Fortune (Lot of Fortune) is a calculated point from traditional astrology, found from the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant. It marks where you find a natural sense of ease, flow, prosperity, and physical wellbeing.
How is the Part of Fortune calculated?
It uses your Ascendant, Sun, and Moon, with the formula reversed depending on whether you were born by day or by night. For a day birth it is Ascendant + Moon − Sun; for a night birth it is Ascendant + Sun − Moon. This calculator works out your sect and applies the correct formula automatically.
Why does the Part of Fortune need my exact birth time?
Because the formula relies on the Ascendant — and on whether the Sun was above or below the horizon at birth — an accurate birth time is essential. Even a couple of hours off can change the sign and even the day/night formula used.
