Point" which stands in the same relationship to the ascendant as the Moon does to the Sun.
In other words the part of Fortuna is a Zodiacal point which is equally distant from the Ascendant as the Moon is from the Sun in longitude. It benefits the houses in which it

The Fortuna indicates the general synthesis of the personal life controlled by the ascendant. This is used in Western astrology and not included in Hindu astrology. This book
