In an astrological chart, the Part of Fortune, a little symbol that looks like a circle with a cross in the center, could show a position of worldly success. It’s a place of luck that involves the physical body and one’s health.
The Part of Fortune is not a planet, it’s a mathematical point that requires the degrees of your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign. Yesterday morning, at 10:47 AM, the Part of Fortune was located near the top of the chart in the 10th House on the 17th degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol there reads: Pisces 17 “An Easter Promenade”.
The first thing worth mentioning is that Easter is coming up on the 31st of this month, and Easter, which in Greek is called Pascha, is the feast to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord.
A resurrection, a fresh start, a rebirth, and a new beginning is what we have to look forward to. The Sabian for Pisces 17 talks about how humans dress up and attend certain functions in society, church being one of them.
The deeper meaning of this symbol goes beyond our need to dress up in our “Sunday Best” for attention because the image we present to the world characterizes our inner and hidden sense of self.
According to the description of Pisces 17 on https://www.jamesburgess.com/an-easter-promenade.html,
we, in a way, idealize ourselves by dressing up, and by doing so, we gain insight into the ideal. That brings us to the most important part of this:
Unless our society allows us to celebrate ourselves as we choose to be, it is not our society. We need our idealised self-image accepted or we cannot realise it.
Variety and extremes of self-exhibition can often lack grace, even to the point of being ridiculous, yet they test our social environment, so they have genuine value. If we find that our Easter persona doesn’t fit – then maybe our workaday personality doesn’t either, and we need to find a better place, or way, to be.

If our idealized self-image isn’t accepted, we cannot realize it (Self-Realization). If your society doesn’t allow you to celebrate yourself as you chose to be, then it’s not your society.
Okay, then, at this point we must consider changing something. Maybe we need to move to a different place that does accept the idealized self-image we have of ourselves.
The importance of this placement falls in line with Easter Sunday and the opportunity for rebirth or a fresh start. Unbelievable Synchronicity!
For a deeper understanding of the POF’s placement in Pisces on the 17th degree, we look to the placement of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. Neptune is also in Pisces on the 26th degree, but in the 11th House, not the 10th.
The 11th House deals with our future, the friendships we have, and the groups and organizations we may interact with. Through the placement of Neptune, we learn from our higher selves, that this is really about the realization of faith.
Pisces 26, which is where Neptune was yesterday, talks about the freedom of choice. The freedom of choice is what we need if we want to make the necessary changes according to Pisces 17.
If you want the freedom of choice, you have to allow others to have the same-thing, the freedom to chose. At the Soul level, we’re actively creating our lives and our futures, even though a lot of people don’t realize this. If our human soul is creating our future, the it needs to have the freedom to chose what comes next.
Are you pissed off? Feeling stuck?
Feeling like you’re in a rut?
Feeling like you’re stuck in a repeating cycle of events?
Pisces 17 is spiritual, and too much conformity to the extent of robbing the soul of its freedom to chose, will crush the spiritual side of humans.
Free your soul, rebirth is right around the corner.
