Fortūna caeca est. - Fortune is blind.

From Chapter 9, of my old Smith & Thompson Latin reader.

In Spanish, caca means poop. Next time I'm constipated, my mantra will be fortuna caca est. 😀

That seems to correspond with the Latin word. Of course Spanish use mierda too. But the translation as you put it would be "Fortune shit it is."

@THHA How would you say something like, "To shit is fortunate"?

I would think, "Cacāre fortunatus est." if cacō is masculine.

Ask your doctor about linaclotide (linzess) if you have a persistent issue.
