"Pars Fortunae is a part of the astrological tool-kit that is amply explained in all elementary introductions in Astrology and everybody is aware that it is derived from the positions of the Sun, Moon and the Ascendant. But apart from that, all manuals maintain a stony silence about the logic, or the historical background behind it.
The Arabic parts (and Bonatti mentions about 100 of them) are in fact Egyptian in origin. They are numerological or arithmetical fictions and they have no physical basis, but are fictitious points on the ecliptic. 
It is pertinent to point out and emphasise that they are on the ecliptic because there are astrologers who hold the opinion that the best way to calculate the arabic parts is in right ascension, although there seems to be no evidence that this was ever the case.  So the Arabic parts are calculated in longitude and they are found by considering certain places in natal, horary, mundane or electional astrology, and distances between these points are then projected or added to the Ascendant. What is now found as a result of this calculation is a point in the horoscope which has a particular significance."

  • The Lot or Part of Fortune -

    "Most astrologers have encountered the Part (or Lot as the Greeks called it) of Fortune, but have little idea of what to do with it. The modern literature on the subject is of little help tending to make it an extremely abstract symbol, something "karmic." To complicate things further, it is now clear that for approximately 50% of all people the Part of Fortune is usually computed incorrectly, namely those persons born at night between sunset and sunrise. I'll come back to that in a moment.
