What does Part of Fortune mean in Western Astrology?

A calculated point, not a body, combining the chart's three pillars: Ascendant plus Moon minus Sun for a day birth, with the Moon and Sun swapped for a night birth. It marks where horizon and luminaries agree, and is read as a well of ease, health, and worldly luck. Activity in its sign and house tends to feel unearned in the best sense — the current runs with you there.
