Many "modern" astrologers still use the Lot/Part of Fortune, but the reason why they no longer use the other Hermetic Lots is unsettling. Above all, we can only stress the importance of the Lot of Daimon (or Lot of Spirit), as significant as the Lot of Fortune:

" The Hermetic Lot of the sun is simply known as “Daimon.” This is probably confusing considering we just discussed daimons being lesser spirits. There are countless numbers of daimons residing in every aspect of creation since they were basically the Greek form of animism. So, what the hell is this talking about? The daimon indicated by the Lot of Spirit isn’t just A daimon, it’s YOUR daimon. The idea is that this guardian spirit is merged with your soul before you’re born and is meant to guide you. You can think of this as your “higher self,” your “intuition,” your “guides,” whatever you want to call it basically amounts to the same thing.

The calculation of the Lot of Daimon is: ASC + Sun - Moon (Day Charts) ASC + Moon - Sun (Night Charts).

Then you'll have to examine its position in sign, house, the position of its ruler/dispositor and the potential conjunctions with planets and fixed stars to get a clear image of your "Daimon".

In Hellenistic astrology, the Moon holds a significant role in a person's natal chart, representing emotions, instincts, nurturing qualities, and the innermost self. Here are some key points related to the Moon in a Hellenistic natal chart:

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗Characteristics: The Moon symbolizes the emotional and subconscious aspects of the individual. It reflects one's feelings, needs, instincts, and reactions to the world around them. The Moon also represents the mother, home life, and the nurturing qualities of the person.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗House Placement: The house in which the Moon is located in the natal chart can indicate the areas of life where the individual seeks emotional security, fulfillment, and comfort. For example, the Moon in the 4th house may suggest a strong emphasis on family, home, and roots, while the Moon in the 10th house could indicate emotional fulfillment through career and public reputation.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗Aspects: Aspects to the Moon from other planets can reveal how the individual's emotions and instincts are influenced and expressed. A harmonious aspect (such as a trine or sextile) to Venus may indicate a strong sense of harmony, love, and emotional balance, while a challenging aspect (such as a square or opposition) to Mars may suggest inner conflict, impulsiveness, or emotional intensity.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗Rulership: The Moon rules the sign of Cancer in traditional astrology and is considered to be in its domicile in this sign. The qualities of Cancer, such as sensitivity, nurturing, and intuition, are associated with the Moon's influence. Understanding the sign in which the Moon is placed can provide additional insights into how the individual processes emotions and nurtures themselves and others.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗Intuition and Inner Self: The Moon represents intuition, inner wisdom, and the subconscious mind in the natal chart. A strong and well-placed Moon can indicate emotional intelligence, intuition, and a deep connection to one's inner self, while a challenged or afflicted Moon may suggest emotional instability, moodiness, or difficulty in expressing feelings.

Notably, both of their Lots of Eros are in the first decan of Scorpio which is associated with a ravenous hunger, an insatiable quality that craves more & more & more. The public-facing sides of their relationships are focused on their aggressive PDA (!) bc they hunger for more.
