I've been hearing intense stories from astrologers about people actually dying or having near-death experiences when important planets (especially the sun of course) transited or progressed over their Arabic Part of Death...though I've heard just as many people say they went through a dark or introverted time in their life, or a depression, but had no accidents or threats to their life. I just calculated my Part of Death (23 degrees Scorpio...how fun) and it's 1 degree from my Part of Spirit, which is 22 degrees Scorpio. What does that mean?
According to Wikipedia "If the Lot of Fortune deals with material well-being, the body, fortune and health, the Lot of Spirit represents the initiative taken by that person, or what use is made of what is given."
There are no important planets or aspects on either of these points, though there may be squares or trines to the points, I haven't calculated them. But how am I to read this near exact conjunction of the two parts? I would be successful in life if only I would become an undertaker? My happiness is bound up in death? I'm not a very dark person, or overly interested in death. Astrology, yes, spirituality, yes, but not death.
I would love to hear about anyone's experiences or thoughts about these, or any other, Arabic parts. Also, please let me know your opinion on how I should read the proximity between these two important Arabic parts. It doesn't seem particularly cheerful.
