What Are Arabic Parts (Lots) in Astrology?

Arabic Parts are mathematical points calculated using the positions of the Ascendant (ASC) and two celestial bodies.

Unlike planets, Arabic Parts are not physical objects in the sky. Instead, they represent symbolic areas of life where important experiences, talents, opportunities, and challenges may appear.

Although they became famous during the medieval Arabic astrology period, these calculations actually originated in Hellenistic astrology centuries earlier. Modern astrologers still use many of these Lots because they often provide surprisingly accurate insights.

The most famous is the Part of Fortune, but dozens of other Lots exist for different life topics.

How Does the Lots (Arabic Parts) Astrology Calculator Work?

The calculator follows the traditional Arabic Parts formula:

Lot = Ascendant + Point 1 − Point 2

Depending on the Lot you select, the two planetary points change.

For example:

• Part of Fortune = Ascendant + Moon − Sun
• Part of Spirit = Ascendant + Sun − Moon
• Part of Love = Ascendant + Venus − Sun
• Part of Victory = Ascendant + Jupiter − Mars

The calculator automatically:

• Calculates planetary positions
• Finds your Ascendant
• Applies the selected Arabic Part formula
• Determines the zodiac degree
• Identifies the zodiac sign
• Calculates the astrological house

This removes the need for complex manual calculations.

Information Required

To generate accurate results, you’ll need:

• Birth date
• Exact birth time
• Birth location
• Desired Arabic Part

Accurate birth time is especially important because the Ascendant changes approximately every two hours, directly affecting every Arabic Part.
