arabic parts tend to use formulas like Asc + sun - moon..
so the specific degree or Lot is important or prominent IF conj a planet or angle ie: Asc or MC

POF is the most widely used and important...
POF http://www.astrotherapy.eu/ParsFortunae.htm http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-5210.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpOVfJmEFH4 http://www.arlenekramer.net/astrology8.asp
last one is POF conj planets
“However, in the case of both significations one must keep in mind that no one indication in the chart, not even the Part of Fortune, can be taken by itself as a total indicator of any area of life. For health one must also look at the Ascendant, its ruler, the Moon and its ruler. Also the sixth and eighth houses as indicators of illness and death respectively have strong indications for health. For material prosperity one should also look at the second house, the tenth house, and their rulers.” http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_fortune_e.htm
“The fortune indicated by this part is not necessarily materialistic or even tangible, though it can be. It depends on the sign and house location of the Part of Fortune. The benefit can be on the physical, intellectual, emotional, and/or spiritual plane of experience. In all cases it is through the cultivation and expression of this point that one will experience harmony and a sense of well-being.” http://www.astroresources.com/fortune.htm
“The Part of Fortune represents worldly success, and is associated with the physical body and health as well. It can be indicative of the career or vocation. Worldly success and prosperity are associated with the Part of Fortune, and both its sign and house placement suggests innate abilities and talents--areas of life and qualities that are expressed naturally.” http://www.cafeastrology.com/partoffortune.html
just found a site for calculating this and many more Parts or Lots -- http://www.noendpress.com/pvachier/arabicparts/index.php
"Some formulas listed here have both an AM and PM version. The PM version is a reverse of the AM version and when indicated, persons born in the daytime (Sun in 7th - 12th houses) should use the AM formula while persons born in the evening (Sun in 1st - 6th houses) should use the PM formula. Sometimes it's best to try both formulas."
Check the placement of the Sun in the chart, it must be sensibly placed relative to the horizon for the given time of day. For a day birth, the Sun must be above the horizon.
From astro.com explanations on POF
We use different formulae for Pars Fortunae for a day birth than for a night birth. You can change this rule with an option in the extended chart selection.
The day formula is: ASC + Moon - Sun
The night formula: ASC + Sun - Moon
Astrologers differ in their views about which formula to use for Pars Fortunae.
