Fortune and Spirit:Principal Lots in Hellenistic Astrology, with Doug Noblehorse
Traditional and Ancient Astrology • 21-Nov-2010
Fortune and her companion Spirit are the two primary Greek Lots (which were the precedent for Arabic Parts) which have survived into modern times as calculated astrological points in a horoscope. But what do you do with them, and what do they mean? Misunderstandings and misrepresentations about these two intimately related Lots show up as early as Claudius Ptolemy. With their origins dating to the beginnings of horoscopic astrology, however, Fortune and Spirit were integral to chart analysis. This overview explores how these Lots were calculated, what they represented, and how they were used in astrological interpretation.
From 2010.
