Part of Fortune in the Signs
In every beginners' class that I teach, I repeat and repeat, "The
planets have the POWER; the signs tell HOW; the houses tell WHERE."
These phrases mean that the planet you are investigating tells what
kind of activity will take place; the sign describes the zodiacal
style which characterizes the activity; the house describes the area
of life in which this activity will take place.
In our investigation of the Part of Fortune so far, we have seen that
the Part of Fortune is an outgrowth of the Lunation Cycle in relation
to the Ascendant of the horoscope. The Part of Fortune, or Pars Fortuna,
is therefore a three-dimensional Sensitive Point in the horoscope,
but it is not a planet. It is a place where we can find happiness,
experience gain, and feel fortunate, in accordance with the house
and sign it inhabits. We have already seen the manifestation of the
Part of Fortune in each of the twelve houses. Now let us look at the
manifestation of the Part of Fortune in each of the twelve signs.

We all know that there are positive and negative attributes to every
planet and sign. (Determined is positive; obstinate is negative, etc.)
The Part of Fortune, located in a sign, mitigates the negative attributes
inherent in that sign. While the sign placement of the Part of Fortune,
as described above, is important, it is my personal opinion that the
house placement of the Part of Fortune, as described in previous articles,
is far more important.
