Part of Fortune, in Judicial Astrology, is the lunar horoscope; or the point in which the moon is, at the time when the sun is in the ascending point of the east.

The sun in the ascendant is supposed, according to this science, to give life; and the moon dispenses the radical moisture, and is one of the causes of fortune. In horoscopes the Part of Fortune is represented by a circle divided by a cross.
