Arabic Parts: The Marriage Partner

Arabic parts are used in horary to check relationship indicators, but most widely used in the natal chart. The most common Arabic Part is the

Part of Fortune (Asc + Moon – Sun)

which has little to do with fortune and everything to do with events outside of our control. It is also a very secondary point in horary. So how are Arabic Parts calculated and what can they tell us?

The easiest way to calculate Arabic Parts is to find software that will do the work for you. I looked. The one calculator I used to use is now pay only. I say used to because once you get the hang of calculating, it’s not too hard to do with some scratch paper.

To calculate the qualities of the partner you will marry, you take the degree of the ascendant and add it to the descendant, then subtract the degree of the ruler of the 7th house. The equation looks like this:

Part of Marriage Partner = Asc + Desc - 7th House Ruler

So how do we convert into simple degrees? By using this table:

Aries = 0 Taurus = 30 Gemini = 60 Cancer = 90 Leo = 120 Virgo = 150 Libra = 180 Scorpio = 210 Sagittarius = 240 Capricorn = 270 Aquarius = 300 Pisces = 330 Now we plug in the numbers. An ascendant at 4 degrees Capricorn (274) has a descendant at 4 degrees Cancer (94) which when added up, equals 368 degrees. Subtract the ruler of the 7th house (the moon) located at 27 degrees Capricorn (297) and we get this equation: 368 - 297 = 71 [11 Gemini]

Now look at where your answer lies in your chart. The house location will tell you about your partner and how they show love as well as some innate qualities about them. The sign will tell you about the qualities your relationship values and what you will find attractive about them.
