The Lot of Fortune as the Ascendant.
在說明完三分相的配置之後，我將轉而討論幸運點（Lot of Fortune）。10 首先，必須確定幸運點的位置，並查看它位於宇宙中的哪一部分：是在角宮、角宮之後，還是角宮之前。同樣地，也要找出幸運點的主星。如果其主星在日生時位於上升點，或位於其他具有作用力的宮位，並且有太陽、月亮或吉星形成相位，它就會使命主高貴、顯赫而幸運。如果它位於其他角宮，或位於角宮之後，其效果則較為溫和。如果它位於角宮之前，則應判定〈命盤〉為死產或遭棄養——這些都是令人不快的宮位，會帶來危機與毀敗。
此外，在找出被分配給幸運點的宮位之後，還要考察與它形成四分相的位置以及其他相位，就如同考察出生圖中的角宮一樣。幸運點本身等同於上升點，意義為「生命」；從它起算的第十宮等同於中天，意義為「地位」；第七宮等同於下降點；第四宮等同於天底。其餘各宮則具有與〈原本的〉十二宮相同的作用。
有些占星家以神祕的方式假設：天文上的上升點以及與它形成四分相的各點，是「宇宙角宮」（Cosmic Angles）；而幸運點以及與它形成四分相的各點，則是「本命角宮」（Natal Angles）。他們在自己的論著中如此揭示：
「當在角宮各種繁多的配置之中分配幸運點的影響時…… /80K/ 回歸星座、固定星座與雙體星座，其整體效果都不會相同。因此，必須考察諸星相對於幸運點所形成的相位或合相。例如，吉星若與幸運點形成合相或相位，就是良好的徵象，也是財產的賦予者；破壞性的星若與幸運點形成合相或相位，則會造成財物損失與身體疾病。」
Having explained the trine arrangements, I will move on to the Lot of Fortune.10 First of all it is necessary to determine the Lot of Fortune and to see in what part of the cosmos it is located: at an angle, just following an angle, or just preceding an angle. Likewise look for the ruler of the Lot. If it is in the Ascendant during the day or is in some other operative place, with the sun, the moon, or benefics in aspect, it will make the native noble, distinguished, and fortunate. Its effects are more moderate when it is found at the other angles or just following an angle. When it precedes an angle, assume (the nativity to be) stillborn or abandoned—these are the disagreeable places which bring crises and ruin.
In addition, after finding the Place which has been assigned to Fortune, examine the points square with it and the other aspects, just as with the angles in the natal chart. The Lot itself will be equivalent to the Ascendant and will mean “Life;” the tenth place from it will be equivalent to MC and will mean “Rank;” the seventh will be the Descendant; the fourth IC. The other places will have the same effects as the (original) XII Places. Some astrologers have mystically hypothesized that the astronomical Ascendant and the points square with it are the Cosmic Angles, while the Lot and the points square with it are the Natal Angles, and they have revealed this in their treatises as follows: “When assigning the influence of the Lot among all the multifarious configurations of the angles… /80K/ neither the tropic nor the solid nor the bicorporeal signs will have the same overall effects. It is therefore necessary to examine the aspects or the conjunctions of the stars relative to the Lot: for example, a benefic in conjunction or in aspect with the Lot will be a sign of good and a giver of property. A destructive star (in conjunction or in aspect) will be responsible for loss of goods and sickness of the body.
