Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the astrology podcast.

Joining me today is Kira Ryberg, and we're going to be talking about the mathematical points in astrology

known as lots or Arabic parts, such as the part of Fortune, the part of spirit, and other parts or lots like that.

Hey Kira, thanks for joining me.

Thanks for having me on.

I'm really excited to be here.

and hopefully giving people a lot more information

about how to delineate lots in their chart

and why they're so important.

For sure. So we're going to talk today a little bit about the history, a little bit

example charts.

So why don't we jump into, I wanted to do just a quick overview at the beginning of our topic

and then we'll get more into the details right after that.

So first quick overview thing is that lots are mathematical points in a

chart that mark the signs of the Zodiac with different topics. So there's different lots that you can calculate and depending on where they fall in a

chart they will mark that entire zodiacal sign with those topics just in the same way that with the houses, when a house coincides
