Fortune has power beneath the moon, since above the moon no single thing can happen by fortune.

This went way over my head the first time I read Sallustius. Clearly all the study is paying off! In fact, I recently imputed the power of Fortune to the fair-haired Queen of Night, herself (albeit in an astrological context, rather than an Olympianic one), so it is little wonder to me that Fortune is only in effect below Her.

Thanks again to temporaryreality and boccaderlupo for encouraging me to do another pass over this material...
