Lot Of Fortune

The Lot of Fortune is the best known of the Arabic lots, also called the Part of Fortune. It is not a body but a point calculated from the positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant, so it weaves the chart's three most important factors into one. It represents ease, wellbeing, and the place where life tends to flow, where a person finds a natural sense of fortune and contentment. By sign, the Lot of Fortune describes the style of what comes easily and feels rewarding. By house, it shows the area of life where a person experiences flow, good timing, and a feeling of being in the right place. It often points to where happiness is found with less struggle than elsewhere. The calculation is reversed between day and night charts, since it is measured from the Sun and Moon, so the position depends on whether a person was born during daylight or after dark. The Lot of Fortune is associated with the body and worldly wellbeing, and its work is recognizing and leaning into the areas of life where things naturally come together.
