1. What is the Part of Fortune?

The Part of Fortune (Pars Fortunae) is a sensitive point in astrology that represents prosperity, happiness, and well-being. It's calculated based on the positions of the Ascendant, Moon, and Sun in a natal chart.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard formula:

Where:

• \( Ascendant \) — The degree of the Ascendant in the natal chart
• \( Moon \) — The degree of the Moon's position
• \( Sun \) — The degree of the Sun's position

Explanation: The formula combines these three key points to find a sensitive point that indicates areas of life where one may find good fortune and happiness.

3. Importance of Part of Fortune

Details: In astrology, the Part of Fortune represents prosperity, physical health, and material well-being. Its house position and aspects show where and how one might experience good fortune.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the degrees (0-360) for each component from a natal chart. The calculator will compute and normalize the result to a value between 0° and 360°.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q3: Can I calculate this for a location?
A: Yes, you need the exact birth time and location to determine the correct Ascendant degree.

Q4: What if my result is negative or over 360?

A: The calculator automatically normalizes the result to a value between 0° and 360°.

Q5: How important is the Part of Fortune in chart interpretation?
