In traditional Astrology, the Part of Fortune was viewed like another Ascendant. It's major point. Whole Sign Houses were used.

In modern Astrology, it's a minor point. Whole Signs are not used.

Part of Fortune is created from the longitudes of the Sun,Moon,and Ascendant. Therefore, it naturally is an important point. It's derived from the big 3.

FORTUNA is an Asteroid that is named after the Roman goddess of Good Luck. Sun conjunct FORTUNA will make you far luckier than others, unless you choose to mentally Self-Sabotage that luck by thinking negatively.

A native with Sun conj Fortuna, if he considers the glass as Half Full, then a pretty girl will fill his glass to the top for him. Other optimists without this aspect will happily quench their thirst with the half full glass. The pessimist who considers the glass half empty, he will never be able to quench his thirst. A pessimist with Sun conj Fortuna will also be thirsty but he wont accidentally break the glass....

according to Robert Hand's article:
according to this link

that I already posted in my response:

As I have said, the Part of Fortune is a primary indicator of prosperity, but it is more than that. It is created out of the longitudes of the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, and therefore is composed out of the three of the most important places in the chart (only the Midheaven outside of these three is as important) and as a result becomes as important as they are. In modern astrology there is a tendency to regard the Part of Fortune as a minor point in the chart, but this was not the case with ancient astrology.

In ancient astrology the Ascendant is the primary indicator of the physical body and health. The Moon is also a very important secondary indicator about the body. But there is a difference between them. The Ascendant was considered to be the body at its most physical, material level. The Moon was the living aspect of the body, in fact soul, but soul incarnated in a physical body. The Part of Fortune, being composed of both of these along with the Sun, is also an indicator of the living, physical body and its relationships with the physical and social world in which the native lives. Its capacity to signify prosperity comes from this. If the Part of Fortune is in good condition, the relationship between the native and the physical and social world in which he or she lives is one that supports the native and enables the native to live well. If the Part of Fortune is in poor condition, the native has a harder time living in relationship with the world that supports the native. The same can also be said about the relationships of the Part of Fortune and health.

Astrologers looked at houses from the Part of Fortune like it was an Ascendant. You don't do that with the asteroid,Fortuna.

so note

it's mainly

"The Part of Fortune, being composed of both of these along with the Sun, is also an indicator of the living, physical body and its relationships with the physical and social world in which the native lives."

This is definitely different from the asteroid,Fortuna

we're talking about a point devised from the Sun,Moon,and Ascendant.
