So are you saying that the part of fortune should not be interpreted the way we once were interpereting it....(an action that would most succesdfully bring about our spititusl wellneing...) And instead be given the interp of Christ Consciousness..?
My part of fortune at gemini 25 is in the "emotional" category but its all about pruning the mind..... Very "mentally" governed....
Mine definitely seems to be a state of mind that i need to employ to bring about a closer connection to Christ consciousness.... Maybe that comes easier for some than others....
To be honest, I meant to delete that post last night a few moments after I had posted it but I was called away from my desk and then later on I thought that I had deleted it
My error...
my bad.
I was going to get an ealier start today and mull all that over but didn't get the chance...more distractions as some issues arose with the landlard here.
Tonignt I've decided it would be best for me to reread the chapter in Rudhyars book in which he explains his concept of dividing the Zodiac with it's twelve signs and 360 degrees and why he titled those divisions as he did.
I'll get to that in the next few days. With the Holidays rushing in on me as fast as they are I've got lot to do before the end of the year and a few things that must be accomplished before the end of this week.
For the time being let's, just see if we can, agree to the following explanation.
(In the following explanation please note that the term, "Astrological Part", refers to all Parts or Lots of any kind, i.e. Arabic, Trans-Saturnian or Hermetic.)
The Astrological Parts have been discovered to be "Symbolically Active", but that is only by the set of degree symbols known as the Sabian Symbols. The degree an Astrological Part, or Lot, is particularly found to be in will have an effect on you as to the affairs pertaining to that which the Part is titled as being in governance of.
If the Part, or Lot, is of a benificient nature and you desire the influence of all affairs associated with that particular Parts' title you must then, deploy yourself accordinly in a way that is harmonious to those affairs or, employ them through, or into your daily activites that are in relation to the same.
If the Part, or Lots', title is associated with affairs that you find to be maleific in their nature to you, then you must avoid, deploying yourself in any manner of way by in the make-up of your being or, employing it by any means of activity, that by which, you possibly could actually employ it in.
..and if it is the Part Catastrophe that is your concern, remember that it has been consistently shoing itself to be of affect on ones life regardless of what you may or may not do to avoid it...but also remember that being forewarned is to be forearmed and your goal then is to mitigate the circumstances concerning to the affairs governed by the Part to "soften the blow".
For example; as my Part of Catastrophe is in the 17th degree of Capricorn , and by Rudhyar's interpretation is, [ibid.]
"A REPRESSED WOMAN FINDS A PSYCHOLOGICAL RELEASE IN NUDISM.
KEYNOTE: The escape from bondage to social inhibitions and a reliance upon the wisdom of the body." {and his summation is} " RELEASE FROM INHIBITIONS", then I should best retain some degree of social inhibiton in my activites and if even let myself be completely inhibited if the consequences are severe for even the slightest regression.
If some finds that the 17th degree of Capricorn is their Part of Fortune or their Part of Sudden Advancement, then one should procede in the exact opposite as to that which is prescribed for myself in the paragraph above.
Those divisions in his concept are mostly terminology one finds associated with any "Play" of the kind that is performed on stage.

Heres an outline I assembled from the text of Dane Rudhyar's book on the Saian symbols, "An Astrological Mandala" of how Dane visualized the categorical breakdown of the Zodiac. It may help to find the degree of the Zodiac the Astrological Part of concern is found to be in and use that as a guide in applying or avoiding the affect of the Part
First off, Dane divided the Zodiac into two "Hemi-cycles", just as like the manner he saw the full monthly cyle of the Moon as being primarily composed of two half cycles.
Then of the full cycle He has it divided into four "Acts". Two Acts to each Hemi-cycle.
Each Act is comprised of three adjoining Signs.
Eact Sign is then divided into two "Scenes". The first fifteen degrees of each sign is one Scene and the second fifteen degrees is the next Scene.
Each Scene of fifteen degrees He divided into three "Levels" comprised of five degrees each.
The first level He labled as "Actional", the second Level, "Emotional-Cultural"
and the third Level as "Individual-Mental" and are always in that order and repreat in every "Scene" in the same order.
The first Hemicycle are the six signs of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo and the second Hemi-cycle contunues on with Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Act 1 is comprised of the Signs Aries, Taurus and Gemini
Act 2 is comprised of the Signs Cancer, Leo and Virgo
Act 3 is comprised of the Signs Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius
Act 4 is comprised of the Signs Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces
Aries consists of Scene 1 & 2
Taurus consists of Scene 3 & 4
Gemini consists of Scene 5 & 6
Cancer consists of Scene 7 & 8
Leo consists of Scene 9 & 10
Virgo consists of Scene 11 & 12
Libra consists of Scene 13 & 14
Scorpio consists of Scene 15 & 16
Sagittarius consists of Scene 17 & 18
Capricorn consists of Scene 19 & 20
Aquarius consists of Scene 21 & 22
Pisces consists of Scene 23 & 24
And remember that every Scene of 15° is comprised of three Levels
1. "Actional"
2. "Emotional-Cultural"
3. "Individual-Mental"
and are always in that order and repreat in every "Scene" in the same order.

In fact, that doesn't look too bad just as it is, Phoenix Venus, if you should happen to agree maybe I should post that, as the definitive, in the thread on applying the Sabain Symbolism to Astrological Parts... or if you think it'll work if you tweek it here or there, then please feel free to do so.
