Arabic Parts
Arabic parts are not planets but calculated midpoints. The most well known and commonly used Arabic part is :
Part of Fortune.
But there are several other parts to be found in a birthchart. For some parts, a different method is used for a night chart or day chart. There is no use of interpreting an Arabic part just by it’s name. To really understand what the part means within a chart, you have to look at :
• The house placement
• The sign placement
• Dispositor of POF
• Aspects to the dispositor
The POF signifies unexpected (positive) change, area of life where you shine at your best, associated with money and gains, prosperity, success and sometimes fame. POF is the soul’s mission that connects to individual fulfilment leading spiritual wealth. You need to consider the dispositor/ruling planet of POF and interpret it’s house placement to see what area of life will help you to get better results, achievements,..
