Sunday, JUNE 12
The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio until 6:32 PM EDT, drawing us to transformative and emotionally moving experiences. We seek to explore deeper truths and motives. The Scorpio Moon is observant and intense. While it’s not always easy to get a good “read” on others today, it’s a fine time for exploring the layers of situations.
The Sagittarius Moon from 6:32 PM forward is spirited and adventurous. But while the Moon in Sagittarius encourages spontaneity and freedom, the Sun is about to form a biquintile with Pluto, and we can take a comfortably strategic approach to our lives. We’re creative with problem-solving.
The void Moon occurs from 5:40 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mercury), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 6:32 PM EDT.

I plan to look into the placement of Fortuna on Koand’s chart, my chart and Napoleon’s on tonight’s stream. Update: I’ll have to focus on the other 2 charts rather than Koand’s because a verified birth time is necessary to calculate the Part of Fortune/Fortuna and I don’t have this information regarding Koand.
My natal chart is above.
What is Fortuna AKA Part of Fortune?
The following is shared from cafeastrology.com
Part of Fortune
In astrology, the Part of Fortune, sometimes called Fortuna, is the most popular Arabic Part. Arabic Parts are sensitive points in a chart and are calculated using specific formulas whereby two planets or points are added together, and a third planet or point is subtracted from that result.
The Part of Fortune is calculated as follows:
For day charts, Ascendant + Moon – Sun
For night charts, Ascendant + Sun – Moon
Note that a chart is considered a day chart when the Sun is above the horizon (occupying any house from house 7 to 12). It’s a night chart when the Sun is below the horizon (occupying any of the first six houses). Generally, with modern astrology, the first formula applies to all charts (many astrologers don’t make the distinction between the day and night chart).
What the Part of Fortune Means
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.
The condition and placement of the ruling planet of the Part of Fortune (that is, the natural ruler of the sign in which the Part of Fortune is placed) are important to factor into the interpretation of this Arabic part.
Worldly success and prosperity are associated with the Part of Fortune. Both its sign and house placement suggest innate abilities and talents–areas of life and qualities that are expressed naturally.
The Part of Fortune lies the same distance in longitude from the Ascendant as the Moon lies from the Sun. If, for example, the Sun is conjunct the Moon in the natal chart, the Part of Fortune will lie close to the Ascendant. Similarly, if the Sun and Moon are in opposition in the natal chart, the Part of Fortune will lie close to the Descendant (opposite the Ascendant).
It is interesting to note that the Arabic part, the Part of Spirit, is calculated in an opposite manner, and also symbolizes the reverse or opposite theme of spiritual well-being.

Keys to the Interpretation of the Part of Fortune:
As noted above, the Part of Fortune points to innate talents that set us on a path to worldly success.
First look to any planets or points that are tightly conjunct or opposite the Part of Fortune as significators of vocation, career, and natural talents–keys to success.
Second, determine the ruling planet of the sign of the Part of Fortune, and consider that planet as another significator.
Consider the sign and house placement of the Part of Fortune as qualities and areas of life where we possess natural and innate talents or abilities, and that can be considered keys to worldly success and prosperity.
Look to any planets or points posited in the same sign as the Part of Fortune, whether or not they are conjunct the point. These will also play a role in our profession.
Another perspective on Part of Fortune is shared from here:
Part of Fortune is a less well-known placement in astrology but I find it to be so important. Everyone wants to know how they can make more money; Part of Fortune can tell you just that.
In ancient astrology, Part of Fortune was extremely important. It was called the lunar ascendant and was almost as important as our ascendant is now!
Part of Fortune is calculated by starting with the degree of the ascendant, minus the degree of the sun, plus the degree of the moon. It really is an integral astrology placement because it is calculated using the biggest three signs in your chart.
In transit charts, Part of Fortune is very popular because it is an indicator that an event will achieve a desired goal. If you’re looking to “time” prosperity, Part of Fortune is really important.
I find, however, that Part of Fortune is often overlooked in the natal chart. Your Part of Fortune will show you what qualities you need to be successful in general, not just for one point in time.
The Part Of Fortune Symbol:
Part of Fortune is named for the goddess Fortuna in Roman mythology, the goddess of fortune, money, and good luck.
In your birth chart, you can find the Part of Fortune astrology symbol that looks like this:
Like any other planet, asteroid, or point, Part of Fortune will be in a specific sign and a house.
What Does Part Of Fortune Mean In The Birth Chart?
Part of Fortune astrology represents how you can achieve success. This success can be defined as whatever is most important to you in this lifetime, whether you think about relationships, money, things, etc.
However, I generally find that Part of Fortune refers to money or material success for most people, unless you absolutely don’t care about money at all.
Your Part of Fortune astrology sign represents the qualities that you need to embrace in order to achieve your goals.
Like anything else, the Part of Fortune astrology sign has an exact opposite. For example, if your Part of Fortune is in Taurus, you have the urge to embrace some more Scorpionic qualities, but this will be detrimental to your longterm success.
In order to really achieve your goals, you need to learn how to embody the qualities of your Part of Fortune astrology sign instead of those of the opposite sign.
I feel that Part of Fortune is a very logical, unemotional placement. If you’re able to embrace the qualities of your Part of Fortune sign then you will succeed. It’s as simple as that.
Part of Fortune is an indicator of prosperity, but will also tell you how to reach the “pot of gold” towards the end of your life. It represents the traits that you need to develop in order to bring you material success and happiness.
You may already possess some of the traits of your Part of Fortune astrology sign, but there are always more that you can consciously develop in order to enhance your fortune.
. . .
Part Of Fortune In Libra (Koand’s chart):
If you have Part of Fortune in Libra, you find success through balance and harmony. It’s important that you have tolerance, especially towards others.
You should not be hasty in your decisions. It might be easy for you to swing towards the qualities of Aries, but this will not bring you true success.
You might want to “go it alone” but you will be most successful in partnerships, at least when you’re starting out. You need other people to bounce your ideals off of.
Part of Fortune in Libra is all about maintaining equilibirum. When you get out of balance, you will struggle to achieve your goals.
Cultivate diplomacy and grace. Focus on creating win-win situations with others and you will certainly achieve what you desire.
Most of all, with Part of Fortune in Libra, share with others. Care for those around you and allow them to care for you in return.
Learn to delegate and to share while still taking care of your own needs. It’s a balancing act!
Part Of Fortune In Aries (Napoleon’s chart):
If you have Part of Fortune in Aries, you need to find your inner fire. Don’t be afraid of obstacles or challenges.
Come at any issues head on instead of shirking away. Part of Fortune in Aries means that you will find your ultimate fortune when you stand up to your problems instead of avoiding them.
You might need to do this alone at some points. You can have family or friends who support you, but Part of Fortune in Aries is all about finding your inner strength even when no one else can help you.
Be spontaneous when working towards goals. Follow your intuition and don’t be afraid to try new things or take risks! This is how you will achieve your dreams.
With Part of Fortune in Aries, you need to trust what you think and feel, not what others tell you. Don’t get swayed by social pressure, friends, partners, etc.
Always trust your own hunches. If something feels right, do it. Don’t worry about what everyone else will think.
Above everything else, with Part of Fortune in Aries, you should always be taking action. Just do it! If you don’t know what to do, try something and never be afraid to fail.
. . .
Part Of Fortune In Virgo (my chart):
With Part of Fortune in Virgo, you must keep things in order. Through hard work and attention to detail, you can achieve success over time.
You must learn to deal with small, day-to-day matters as they arise. Don’t put anything off. Learn to deal with problems logically and one at a time without feeling overwhelmed.
You need to create a daily lifestyle that is healthy with Part of Fortune in Virgo. You will find it very difficult to achieve success without some sort of daily routine.
Those with Part of Fortune in Virgo can also be sensitive to the energy of those around them. With the placement, you may need introspective time to destress.
It’s very important with Part of Fortune in Virgo that you don’t get sucked into identifying too strongly with others. Pull both and figure out what’s true for you.
Sometimes, you may experience rather strong, overwhelming emotions because of the Piscean opposite. You don’t want to get lost in the current of emotions or you will find it hard to achieve what you desire.
Instead, learn to discern factually what is true from what is false. Focus on your own inner peace and your inner truth.
This always lies in careful discernment through logic, even if you must use logic to figure out how and why you feel your emotions.

Another look at comprehending the Part of Fortune is shared from here:
Interpreting Your Part of Fortune
The Part of Fortune signifies the overall status of your life in terms of health, wealth, and reputation. A “good” Part of Fortune will mean a generally good life, strong body, decent finances, positive honors or recognition. A good Part of Fortune is good for business.
What is a “good” Part of Fortune? The best condition for the Part of Fortune would be for it to have no negative influences upon it. This is rather rare. So, for most of us, it’s best for the Part of Fortune to have as little as these negative influences as possible. Negative influences are listed below.
Negative influences on the Part of Fortune
If the Sun or Moon is in detriment or fall, it’s considered a negative effect on the Part of Fortune.
If the Part of Fortune’s dispositor is in detriment or fall, it’s also a negative effect.
The dispositor is the planet which rules the sign of your Part of Fortune. To find the dispositor, calculate your Part of Fortune sign, then find that sign in this table. Once you find the dispositor, check if that planet is in detriment or fall.
Look at all aspects to the Part of Fortune while considering the following points.
Is the aspecting planet a benefic or malefic? Aspects from benefic planets to the Part of Fortune are considered good. Aspects from malefic planets are considered bad.
What zodiac sign is the aspecting planet in? Can the planet express itself easily in this sign?
For example, an aspect from Jupiter sounds good because Jupiter is a benefic, and it expands or grows things. However, if Jupiter is in Virgo, it’s ability to expand is hampered. Jupiter cannot easily express itself in Virgo. Jupiter in Virgo can be rather stingy with its blessings.
Another example would be Venus in Scorpio. While Venus is a benefic planet, it’s attraction factor does not flow smoothly in the sign of Scorpio. So an aspect from Venus in Scorpio is not as “good” as an aspect from, say, Venus in Libra.
Another example with the opposite effect would be Mars in Capricorn. Although Mars is a malefic planet, it behaves sort of decently in the sign of Capricorn. So, an aspect from Mars in Capricorn wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
So, consider the sign of the aspecting planet.
How strong is the aspecting planet? This refers to the strength of the effect that this aspecting planet will have upon the Part of Fortune. To measure the planet’s strength, look at the house the aspecting planet is in.
If the aspecting planet is in house one, four, seven, or ten, its aspect has a strong effect.
If it’s in house two, five, eight, or eleven, the effect is less strong.
If it’s in house three, six, nine, or twelve, the effect is so weak that it may be barely noticeable. So, if the Part of Fortune has as aspect from a malefic planet, it would be better for that aspecting planet to be in one of these houses since that would minimize any negative effect.
If either the Sun or Moon makes a negative aspect, such as a square or opposition, to the Part of Fortune, from any house, it greatly hurts the Part of Fortune.

The following on Part of Fortune is shared from here:
The Sun, Moon and Ascendant are the three most important points in your horoscope. The Sun represents your core self, how you see yourself consciously and how you want to shine. The Moon is the emotional self, the embodied soul and unconscious instinctive sense of being. Both the Sun and the Moon are expressed through the Ascendant, which is how you present yourself to the world through your persona and physical body. When these three are working in harmony and at their highest expression, the Part of Fortune comes into play.
The Part of Fortune represents the place in your horoscope where this balance between the Sun, Moon and Ascendant can be expressed most easily. It shows where you can attune to your environment in a way that brings success, but this depends on how you use the energies of your Sun, Moon and Ascendant. If they’re not in balance or expressed negatively, the Part of Fortune becomes more a Part of Misfortune.
The position of your Part of Fortune shows where you feel most at home and rooted in the centre of your being. It represents an inner sense of abundance and joy and isn’t necessarily dependant on external circumstances. Outer harmony comes from inner harmony, so integrating your Sun, Moon and Ascendant will help you achieve inner harmony and this will reveal your innate talents and where you’ll find joy and abundance in your life. This usually takes a while to achieve, so the Part of Fortune will probably work better after mid-life, or if you make a real effort to grow into wholeness.
The Part of Fortune represents success and the pot of gold at the end of your personal rainbow. It can help your dreams to come true, but this involves deliberate intent. Riches and abundance won’t necessarily fall into your lap. It shows where you know you mustn’t compromise your ideals, and for this you need self-awareness.
When you’re in harmony with your world (inside and out), the Part of Fortune brings prosperity and good health. Its sign and house position show where you can find success and joy by integrating the qualities of your personality. This integration means you’ll be operating from your Higher Self and this can endow your personality with charisma.
