If your part of fortune is in Aries, success is yours when you act first and ask questions later. What does your part of fortune mean? Part of Fortune in Aries Since Capricorn begins at 270°, the part of fortune placement is 1° Capricorn in the 4th house. So the formula to calculate this part of fortune is: 190 - 139 + 220 = 271.

Using the 0 through 360 degrees system, the sun is at 139°, the moon is at 220°, and the ascendant or rising sign is at 190°. We use the 360° full circle degrees, so for example, someone with the sun in 19° Leo, moon in 20° Virgo, and 10° Libra rising would have a day chart because their Leo sun is in the 11th house (using the whole sign house system). In a nighttime chart, the Part of Fortune equation is: the degree of your Ascendant + Sun - Moon. If your sun sign is in the lower hemisphere of your chart, in houses 1 through 6, you have a “night chart.” If you have a day chart, then the Part of Fortune equation is: the degree of your Ascendant - Sun + Moon.

If your sun sign is in the top hemisphere of your chart, in houses 7 through 12, you have a “day chart” in traditional astrology. This placement only shows up with some sites that produce rapid and free birth charts, but you can calculate your part of fortune based on your sun, moon, and rising signs.
