Lot Of Spirit

The Lot of Spirit is an Arabic lot that pairs with the Lot of Fortune. It is a calculated point drawn from the same three factors, the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant, but in the reverse order, so the two lots mirror each other. Where Fortune is about what comes to us, Spirit is about what we set in motion through conscious will, action, and purpose. By sign, the Lot of Spirit describes the style of a person's willful action and the way they pursue their aims. By house, it shows the area of life where they are meant to take deliberate initiative, often connected to career, ambition, and the things a person actively builds rather than receives. Like the Lot of Fortune, its calculation is reversed between day and night charts. In traditional astrology Fortune and Spirit are read as a pair, one passive and one active, one received and one chosen. The work of the Lot of Spirit is to act with intention, putting conscious effort toward the goals that give a life direction and meaning.
