Lots question

[u/SivaDaDestroyer]

Hello. I’ve got a question about lots. I’m aware that the lot of Eros (love) according to Paulus of Alexandria is the distance between lot of spirit and Venus taken from the ascendant.

My question is that: If I were to take the distance from lot of Fortune to Venus instead and cast that from the ascendant what would that lot be called and what effects would its transits have.

I ask because I’m noticing strong and delightful events when that point is being transited.

Think Astro-seek has some sort of Lot finder that seems to have every permutation under the Sun.

[u/SivaDaDestroyer → u/sergius64]

It does, but not this exact permutation. I can input the significator and trigger and it’ll give me the point on my chart but it has no name or info on what that permutation of data does.

[u/sergius64 → u/SivaDaDestroyer]

I see a Asc/Venus/Fortune combo that is labeled as 4th version of Lot of Life.

[u/SivaDaDestroyer → u/sergius64]

Yes I see that too. The permutation I was looking for has Fortune as significator and Venus as trigger.

[u/sergius64 → u/SivaDaDestroyer]

If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. Frankly I have no idea what any of these lots really do - looks like someone going schitzo back in Arabian times when I see the sheer amount of them.

I do notice certain effects when certain points are transited. But my observations differ from what the textbooks says. For instance I’ve notice that transits to my part of fortune often bring negative effects instead of the good fortunes claimed by the text books.

Using spirit and venus from the ascendant is the hermetic lot by Paulus of Alexandria. Replacing Venus with Fortune is also the lot of eros but by Valens, which is what I think you're actually referring to.

I’m referring to the lot where Spirit is replaced with Fortune.
