So, I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. I started out just wanting to figure out my sun sign, you know, the usual “I’m a Leo, what does that even mean?” kind of deal. But then I stumbled upon something called the “Part of Fortune,” or as some people call it, “Fortuna.”
It is said that this Fortuna thing shows some innate talents and where you feel at ease. Sounds good, huh? I mean, who wouldn’t want to know where their luck lies? So, I started researching how to find this Part of Fortune.
Turns out, it’s not as simple as just looking up your sign. You gotta do some math! I was not ready for this. I am not into math at all! I learned that it involves your sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant. And for me, this is where the fun begins. It is time to find out my birth chart, with all the planets and zodiac signs!
I went down this rabbit hole of websites and apps that help you calculate your birth chart. I’m inputting my birth date, time, and location, crossing my fingers that I didn’t mess it up. I mean, what if I put the wrong time? Would that totally throw off my destiny? I guess that is what happened. I had put the wrong birth time, which ended up with the wrong zodiac sign.
Anyway, I finally get my chart, and it’s this colorful wheel with all these symbols and lines. I felt overwhelmed, to be honest. It looked like some kind of ancient code. I did spot my sun, moon, and ascendant, though, so that was a start.
Then came the calculation part. They say there’s a formula to figure out your Part of Fortune. Something about adding and subtracting the longitudes of the sun, moon, and ascendant. I tried, I really did. But I kept getting different answers. It felt like those dreaded word problems from high school math class all over again.
Eventually, I decided to use an online calculator. I figured, why torture myself? And wouldn’t you know it, it worked! My Part of Fortune is in the sign of Sagittarius in the 10th house. What a relief! I did it!
Now, I’m trying to interpret what that actually means. Apparently, Sagittarius is all about adventure, learning, and expansion. And the 10th house has to do with career and public image. So, does this mean I’m destined for a successful career that involves travel and constant learning? Maybe I should become a travel blogger or something! Or maybe it just means I’ll be lucky in those areas of life. I don’t know, but it is cool to think about it.
- Step 1: Got interested in finding my Part of Fortune.
- Step 2: Found out I needed my birth chart.
- Step 3: Tried to put the wrong time of my birth, and ended up with the wrong chart.
- Step 4: Calculated my birth chart with my birth date, correct time, and location.
- Step 5: Attempted to manually calculate the Part of Fortune. Failed miserably.
- Step 6: Used an online calculator and successfully found my Part of Fortune.
- Step 7: Started interpreting what it all means. Still figuring it out.
Honestly, this whole Fortuna thing has been a fun little adventure. I mean, I started with no knowledge of astrology, and now I know how to find my birth chart and calculate Part of Fortune. I’m not saying I’m an expert or anything, but it’s definitely sparked my curiosity. It makes me wonder what other secrets are hiding in those stars. Who knows, maybe I’ll dive deeper into aspect patterns or something. It is complicated, you know, all the red and blue aspects to form the Mystic Rectangle, or something called T-square. But I think I will leave them for now. We’ll see what the universe has in store. For now, I’m just going to enjoy pondering my newfound Sagittarian fortune. Maybe I should book a trip somewhere exotic… you know, just to test it out. ๐
