Arabic Parts

Arabic Parts

Arabic Parts, historically classified as Astrological Lots or Kleroi in ancient Greek, are calculated mathematical points used in horoscopic astrology. Developed in Hellenistic tradition and extensively preserved and expanded by medieval Arabic scholars, a Lot is calculated using the algebraic formula A + B – C, typically mapping the distance between two celestial bodies relative to the horizon. Unlike  physical planets, Lots are abstract geometric coordinates designed to index specific life topics, such as inheritance, health, or social status, within an astrological chart, with the primary reference point in this system being the Part of Fortune.

Arabic Parts – Address to the Astrology Buff Club (1973)

Arabic Parts, Lunar Nodes, and Astrological Techniques. This archival item contains an address to the Astrology Buff Club (1973) and an accompanying article by Marion March detailing the deeper, subconscious, and spiritual dimensions of natal horoscopes. March outlines the significance of the Lunar Nodes, explaining the South Node as a point of established past habits and the North Node as a point of growth, challenge, and spiritual fulfillment. She also reinterprets key Arabic Parts using mathematical logic: contrasting the Part of Fortune (Ascendant + Moon – Sun) as one’s personal past with the Part of Spirit (Ascendant + Sun – Moon) as the highest spiritual potential to strive toward. Additionally, March introduces “The Web” (Ascendant + Neptune – Sun), an Arabic Part taught to her by Irma Norman that highlights specific areas where an individual is subconsciously trapped or constrained.
