Wheel of Fortune in Astrology

The Wheel of Fortune shows us the place, in our Astrological Chart, where the Sun, Moon and our Ascendant are in harmony with each other.

This point is where we can find personal fulfillment. That is, to find full happiness, we must invest in the sign and subject of the House where the Wheel of Fortune is.

To do this more accurately, consult our Astral Map experts. Here they will guide you about each placement within your Map and explain the now and future influences on your life.

The Wheel of Fortune in Astrology points out the three most important points of a birth chart:

The sun

The sun sign represents our essence. It allows us to know who we are, not according to what others think or say, but according to our will, vitality and mission.

We need to use our own strength to recognize our weaknesses and allow the strength to deal with them.

The moon

The moon sign shows us how we should react emotionally to the circumstances in which life puts us. These emotion patterns will build our personality and attitude.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve emotional control, but if we can establish emotional harmony, it will be enough for us to feel at peace.

To achieve emotional harmony, we must first recognize that we cannot change reality. However, we can change the way we behave in front of her.

the Ascendant

Our Ascendant sign shows us the way we express ourselves in the world. Through it, we develop our personality and the way we deal with needs and feelings.

It’s our facade, the way we soften what we feel and how we believe others think of us.

Meaning of the Wheel of Fortune

Everyone has dreams within them that bring out the deepest desires of their soul, albeit unconsciously.

To feel fulfilled and happy, people should be guided by these desires. By directing your life towards these desires, you will be on the right path and can experience joy and fulfillment.

The Wheel of Fortune in Astrology defines each person’s unique and particular concept of success. It also shows that person’s most latent need, where their whole being vibrates!

Thus, the Part of Fortune shows us in what matter we must persist in order to find balance and happiness.

Karmic Point of View of the Wheel of Fortune

The benefits you will receive from the Part of Fortune in Astrology will directly depend on how it uses your Sun, Moon and Ascendant, how these three factors are working in your Natal Chart.

This is another important point of why we should know our Wheel of Fortune well. For example, if you have been using your Moon as a storehouse of negative memories, then your Part of Fortune will not work positively.

The Moon represents growth, change, development of new habits that will help you raise your karma.

How to find the Wheel of Fortune in the Astrological Chart

At the moment you are born, the Sun and Moon occupy a certain position in space. In Astrology, the sun-moon relationship is calculated by the angular distance between them. This angular value is 0º for New Moon and 180º for Full Moon.

To calculate the Wheel of Fortune in Astrology, the first point to consider is whether you were born during the day, with the Sun positioned above the horizon line, or during the night, with the Sun below the horizon line.

If you were born during the day, the Part of Fortune will be calculated from the zodiacal distance between the Sun and the Moon and the projection of that distance from the degree of the Ascendant.

Now, if you were born at night, your Part of Fortune is calculated through the zodiacal distance between the Moon and the Sun and the projection of that distance from the Ascendant degree.

See the formulas below:

Day Births: Wheel of Fortune = Ascendant + Moon – Sun

Night births: Wheel of Fortune = Ascendant + Sun – Moon

You can make your Astral Map by clicking here and find the placement of your Wheel of Fortune on it by looking for the symbol below:

But you can also calculate this placement by hand, simply. To do this, just add the number of signs that go from 0º of Aries to the sign in question with the number of remaining degrees.

How to calculate the Wheel of Fortune in the Astrological Chart

Let’s calculate the Birth Chart Wheel of Fortune below for a person born during the day.

The person in question has the Ascendant at 18º 57′ Taurus (1 sign + 18º 57′), the Moon at 20º 56′ Cancer (3 signs + 20º 56′) and the Sun at 22º 47′ Sagittarius (8 signs + 22º 47′).

As it is a diurnal birth (the Sun is in the Upper Hemisphere) we will have:

Wheel of Fortune = Ascendant + Moon – Sun = (1 sign + 18º 57′) + (3 signs + 20º 56′) – (8 signs + 22º 47′) = – 4 signs + (18º 57′ + 20º 56′ – 22º 47′) = – 4 signs + 17º 06′

Going back 4 signs, from 0º of Aries, we reach 0º of Sagittarius. Adding 17º 06´ to 0º of Sagittarius, we will then have RF = 17th Sagittarius 06′

That is, that person’s Part of Fortune is on the seventh house in Sagittarius. So, she should look for the right partner for her and not just someone to avoid loneliness. She needs to get in touch with other people, learn to relate better and understand the other, without prejudice.

Also, she needs to do it in a Sagittarius way. That is, through a broader perspective, full of optimism and adventure.
