Recognized around the world as a real serious treatment of the Part of Fortune, this book reveals the ways to earn the most benefit from this Karmic Position in the Chart, including a very deep and poetic allegory explaining the true nature of "Fortune."

               

  Beyond his momentary needs, every man has within himself the structure of his aspirations. It is this framework of ideals which teaches him the difference between right and wrong. When a man steps out of this framework, he loses his sense of right and wrong; staying within makes it easy to understand that whatever leads to the ideals is right and whatever diverts him is wrong. Thus, the concept of right and wrong for any individual is much less a product of the morality of the society he lives in than it is the means through which he may recognize those intangible ideals which he has defined for himself as his own particular goal.

  Attaining these ideals would give him a lifetime of joy. None of us are too old or jaded to believe in fairy tales or the presence of God; hope for the ultimate good or some distant dream just beyond the horizon of one's imagination. It is this intangible sense of hope that gives man not only his zest for life and his desire to achieve beyond his present attainments, but also a powerful faith in the optimistic outcome of his future destiny.

  Each individual innately knows that somewhere there is a "pot of gold" waiting at the end of his own rainbow. To reach it, man is willing to go through the storms of life from which he emerges as "captain of his own ship." The trials and tests which he invites and endures are only the waves on the seas which he travels towards his own promised land. The mastering of an obstacle in the path toward an idealistic goal brings one closer to the shore.

  The moments in life that a man feels fully settled are comparitively few in relation to the time he spends moving towards his goals. Sometimes one loses the compass and goes astray. Yet at all times, at the very deepest levels, there is maintained the pure essence of the ideal; that life's happiness is waiting, if one is willing to bring in his own ship. For some this great joy may depend on another person, or it may involve the securing of money; or it might be some form of something quite esoteric or spiritual enlightenment. For many people it may be something quite simple- merely affording themselves the time to just "be."

  The ideals of joy are numerous and varied, obviously. For this reason, each individual has enough space and choices to personalize in his own unique way that particular ideal which would bring the greatest sense of joy and contentment. The ultimate destination of this idealistic journey brings us to the true meaning of the Part of Fortune!
