Overview

Lots are calculated points made from an ascendant and two chart factors, with formula order, sect reversal, naming, and source tradition requiring disclosure. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: 100 + 220 − 150 = 170°, normalized to 20°♍. Verification follows this declared method: For the Lot of Fortune, publish the day/night formula, use full longitudes for Ascendant, Moon, and Sun, normalize the result, and state whether reversal was applied.

Definition and exact scope

lots are calculated points made from an ascendant and two chart factors, with formula order, sect reversal, naming, and source tradition requiring disclosure

Calculation or decision rule

for the Lot of Fortune, publish the day/night formula, use full longitudes for Ascendant, Moon, and Sun, normalize the result, and state whether reversal was applied

Worked case and illustrative near miss

day chart; ASC 100°, ☽ 220°, ☉ 150°; Fortune formula ASC + Moon − Sun. 100 + 220 − 150 = 170°, normalized to 20°♍.

Illustrative near miss: Reversing the formula in this day chart gives 30° and must not be silently substituted as the same lot.

School and variant boundary

Tables and procedures differ by author, era, translation, and sect; the selected authority must remain visible.

Product, safety, and verification boundary

OpenFate can expose the chart inputs needed for Arabic Lots, but it does not claim a dedicated automated interpretation for this technique. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Arabic Lots cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
