Part of Fortune and Planets
The last few Advanced Astrology columns have been devoted to the Part
of Fortune, or Pars Fortuna, as an outgrowth of the Lunation Cycle.
The Part of Fortune was described in its relation to the house placements
and sign placements. Just as with any other zodiacal sensitive point,
the Part of Fortune can also be defined in its relationship to other
zodiacal elements, such as the planets.
Any planet in conjunction with the Part of Fortune will yield an increase
in the potency of that planet. This is the aspect most clearly seen.
A planet in opposition to the Part of Fortune will yield a form of
detachment in the use of that planet. A planet in square to the Part
of Fortune sometimes indicates that the planet is involved in the
drive to achieve the happiness promised by the Part of Fortune. Trines
to the Part of Fortune indicate that the way is made easy for the
person to find his happiness and success. Remember, please, that it
takes the whole chart to tell you the potentials in a person's life.
Let us look at some examples of the meanings of a planet as it makes
major aspects with the attributes of the Part of Fortune.
Sun and the Part of Fortune: When you see a horoscope where the Sun
is conjunct the Part of Fortune, remember how we arrive at the Part
of Fortune. The Ascendant and the Moon and the Sun itself combine
to show us where the avenue to happiness, success, and sheer joy is
located. We look to the house, we look to the sign, and now we look
to the planet to tell us more. When the Sun is conjunct the Part of
Fortune, the person can shine with his whole being in response to
the solar illumination.
Moon and the Part of Fortune: If a person is born at sunrise, the
Part of Fortune will be conjunct the Moon; if he is born at sunset,
the Part of Fortune will be opposite the Moon. Remember how we arrive
at the Part of Fortune! The emotional nature, nurturing nature, security
themes, or public life will be an avenue for achieving Part of Fortune
happiness and success.
Mercury and the Part of Fortune: If Mercury is with the Part of Fortune,
this person will use his mental faculties and an intellectual approach
in finding his happiness and success. He will also find it extremely
easy to communicate, either in speech or writing.
Venus and the Part of Fortune: If Venus is with the Part of Fortune,
the potency of Venus will be enhanced, and the person will have tremendous
personal charm. He will probably also be good looking. Harmony and
balance come easily to him.
Mars and the Part of Fortune: If Mars is with the Part of Fortune,
the potency of Mars will be enhanced in its more positive forms. The
person with this conjunction will exhibit assertive and pioneering
qualities instinctively. He will be able to focus on one endeavor
at a time, and work at it by himself to completion.
Jupiter and the Part of Fortune: If Jupiter is conjunct the Part of
Fortune, the potency of Jupiter will be enhanced in all of its positive
forms. The person with this conjunction will be naturally optimistic,
certain that all situations will turn out fine, and in general happy
with every day as they take him closer to success and wealth and joy.
Saturn and the Part of Fortune: If Saturn is conjunct the Part of
Fortune, the potency of the positive attributes of Saturn will be
enhanced. The person with this conjunction will have a serious approach
to life, with a sense of determination to fulfill his destiny, and
a sense of responsibility to the world. Both Benjamin Franklin and
George Washington had this conjunction.
Uranus and the Part of Fortune: If Uranus is conjunct the Part of
Fortune, the potency of Uranus will be enhanced. The person with this
conjunction will be innovative, original, unique, and inventive. This
conjunction might even indicate a potential for learning Astrology.
This person would also have gifts and talents when involved with scientific
technology and computers.
Neptune and the Part of Fortune: If Neptune is conjunct the Part of
Fortune, happiness and success will come easily to the person who
uses Neptune in positive ways. Positive outlets are those of metaphysics,
spiritual work, the arts, music, marine life, underwater exploration,
and space exploration.
Pluto and the Part of Fortune: If Pluto is conjunct the Part of Fortune,
the potency of Pluto will be enhanced in its positive forms. The person
with this conjunction can find happiness and success in all forms
of detective work, ranging from crime solving to investigating the
atom, from studying genetic engineering to manipulating DNA to cure
cancer and AIDS. He can study the mysteries of life in order to transform
and improve life on Earth for all mankind.
Just as planets in one's natal horoscope interact with the horoscopes
of others (his Jupiter on my Moon, etc.) so does the Part of Fortune.
Next week, we will conclude our study of the Part of Fortune in the
natal horoscope with an investigation of this relationship.
