Part of Fortune Type
Contents
The way in which the Part of Fortune, as displayed in charts, is calculated may be selected by the user. The options are as follows.
•Different Day/Night - According to researchers of ancient astrological texts, the correct method of calculating the Part of Fortune is to use Asc+Moon-Sun for daytime charts, and Asc+Sun-Moon for nighttime charts.
•Fixed Formula - (Daytime Only). Many astrological programs in the past have used a calculation for the Part of Fortune which is based on a single formula for both day and night charts i.e. Asc+Moon-Sun. Although this is now thought to be incorrect, many astrologers have become accustomed to using it in this way, so this option is included for their convenience.
