i just noticed that my part of fascination (the part of fascination is calculated by adding the ascendant and venus and then subtracting uranus) is right on my venus. my venus is aquarius 18°38' and my POFas is aquarius 18°47'. anyone have this? you think it's significant in any way?

thanks, guys.

here is the link to the arabic parts calculator:
http://www.noendpress.com/pvachier/arabicparts/index.php

just type in what your stuff is (you'll have to choose the appropriate sign, and then provide the degree and minutes of the placement)...for the part of fascination it's the asc + venus - uranus...just type in your information and click 'calculate' and you'll get where your part of fascination is!

hope that's helpful. let me know if it makes any significant contacts to other planets in your chart, and if you find any significance in this. i'm still pondering if it's important to have my POFas conjunct my venus.

i am actually usually into aquarians, or any energy related to uranus. i do have a bunch of uranian energy in my own chart, like uranus right on my ascendant almost to the minute.

in fact, one of the people i get along with the best has uranus right on his ascendant, too. in scorpio, though, not libra. he also has his part of fascination conjunct his venus (in scorpio). actually, it's my virgo friend that i'm always yakking about. i need to ask him if he's always fascinated (attracted to, since venus is involved here) to scorpios. or plutonian energy.

Guidelines for Delineation and Interpretation

More will be added, once I get my article on this subject published. In the meantime, follow the usual guidelines:

* Look at the placement of the part by sign and house.
* Examine aspects to the part, focusing attention on major Ptolomeic aspects from a planetary body.
* Use a tight orb.

In addition, remember that the formula are designed to express the symbolic interaction of the components, and that the resulting degree is stimulated by activity regarding those components. This is often a clue to interpretation. As a general rule of thumb, do not use formulas which are not strictly applicable to the question at hand. The exception to this, is when you choose a specific part for study and analysis across the board, and calculate it for all charts you encounter. Last, but far from least, a part may represent any or all of the following:

* The native's attitude toward the subject of the part.
* The way the subject is expressed in the native's life, including the native's susceptibility to prominence of the topic, or lack of prominence.
* The way the native behaves or reacts to the part being triggered, or the subject being brought up.
* The native's hopes, fears, dreams, and so forth regarding the subject.

Remember that, in theory, every possible topic is represented, and that every part can be expressed in each individual's life. Look at a variety of charts, and try to find what it is which accounts for a part being activated more or less strongly in any one chart. As you begin your study of how to apply arabic parts you may find them only grossly applicable, or in obvious and shallow ways, but as you continue your studies they may bring forth greatly subtlety and richness (as well as accuracy) to your delineations.

dunno if you guys have seen that, i hadn't.

if your part of fascination is conjunct a major planet such as say venus, when you meet someone who triggers your venus, your part of fascination will be activated as well, making you more likely to be fascinated or spellbound by that person...

whaddaya think?
