Arabic parts and the lot catalogue Pro
A lot (Arabic part) comes from a formula: Ascendant plus one point minus another. The best known is the Part of Fortune.
The “Arabic parts” section
Twelve core lots:
- Hellenistic, from Valens and Paulus Alexandrinus: Fortune, Spirit, Eros, Necessity, Courage, Victory, Nemesis;
- common modern ones: Marriage, Children, Father, Mother, Profession.
In a night chart most lots swap their terms. Fortune by day is ASC + Moon − Sun; by night it's ASC + Sun − Moon.
Your own lot
- Type a name in “Custom part”.
- Choose points A and B in the formula “ASC + A − B”.
- Leave “reverse at night” checked if A and B should swap in a night chart.
- Click “Add”.
Custom lots are stored in this browser. “Remove custom” deletes all of them.
Lot catalogue
The catalogue holds 182 lots: Al-Biruni's 97 lots of the planets and houses, his tables of lots for weather, commodities and horary questions, the lots of Paulus and Hermes, and popular modern ones.
To find one:
- “search”: part of the name, in English or Russian;
- “topic”, “sign”, “house”: filters;
- “conjunctions only”: lots within 1° of a natal planet, ASC or MC;
- “by degree”: sort by position around the circle.
The checkbox in a row puts that lot on the wheel as a custom point, with aspects. The selection is saved in the link.
