A note on this entry

The Lot of Spirit is exactly the Lot of Fortune's formula reversed by sect, so the two sit at equal distances from the Ascendant on opposite sides — a symmetry the tradition treats as the axis of the whole set. Formulas and meanings vary between Hellenistic authors (Valens, Paulus, Firmicus differ, and the Arabic and medieval Latin writers differ again), and the Greek daimon behind 'spirit' is not the modern word: it means the lot of the guiding power and of what one does. Which of Fortune and Spirit is the 'better' lot is contested in the sources and is not settled here.
