Fortuna Major
Fortuna Major (Greater Fortune) — Water and Earth are active, Fire and Air are at rest. It stands for great success won through inner strength.
Structure of the figure
Latin name: Fortuna Major. Traditional ruler: the Sun.
| Line | Points | Element of the line |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | two | Fire |
| 2 | two | Air |
| 3 | one | Water |
| 4 | one | Earth |
Active (single-point) lines: 2 of 4. The more there are, the more mobile the figure: a single point means an active element, a double point a resting one.
Meaning
Together with Acquisitio, the most favorable figure in geomancy. Fortuna Major describes success that is stable and earned: what you gain thanks to your own position rather than a lucky break. Tradition links it to the Sun in its strength.
The answer to “will it work out?” is yes, and reliably. The only caveat: the figure is slow, and the result doesn't come right away.
In questions about love and money
In love — a lasting relationship, respect, a good match. In money — large profit, growth of capital, a safe investment. Timing — several months, but the result will last.
