It shows, from the centre: the ancient planets (the Moon with a mirror; Mercury as a scribe; Venus with a dulcimer; a haloed Sun; Mars as a warrior; Jupiter as a worthy; Saturn as an ascetic), the signs of the Zodiac in a clockwise order, the Moon’s phases in an anti-clockwise order aligned with the Mansions of the Moon.)

It governs the space between 17º08’37” in Pisces and 0º of Aries. The last Lunar Mansion is named Anaxhe, Arcexe, Albotham, Alchalh, and Bathnealoth in the Medieval and Renaissance tradition, Al-Batn Al-Hut by Arabic authors and Artulosia by Coptic Astrologers. Arab Astrologers say this mansion is favorable for business, marriage, and couple happiness, but is unfavorable for the ill.

In the time of this Mansion, some make talismans for growing crops, maintaining captives, and for the good understanding between spouses, and the magical works done under its auspices aim the destruction of goods that belong to others and the success of travel by sea.

The Sufi Mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion to the Hierarchy of Degrees of Existence, the one presented in the 27 attributed categories of the mansions mentioned up until now. Its attribute or divinely associated name is “The one who gradually lifts”’ and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Waw or the sound W or U.

THE SUN  in the 28th Mansion indicates a successful person but with various problems. Marriage and love are strong domains, however, they will lack friends. They obtain professional success, but success also brings destruction and unhappiness to many. They may have important jobs related to law and money, in any case, a position in which their decisions will affect many people—the classical case of debt-specialized analysts, bankers, money lenders, and recoverers. They do these jobs with a content mind, knowing that its simply a job that someone else will do if not them. Natives are good people deep down but need to project this unscrupulous image, without regrets and with a sense of duty.

THE MOON in the 28th Mansion shows a happy marriage and a good relationship between partners, but tense ones with the people around. Partnerships of any kind will crumble, even though they start off well, only those based on love will be solid. They may have careers in the navy and in any fields related to water and ships but also commerce and agriculture.

MERCURY in the 28th Mansion shows a man with a good mercantile sense. They quickly discover their talent for negotiation and persuasion, a good sign for which they can pursue a lucrative career in commerce, financial transactions, and banking. They learn quickly that they are the only ones who can make it in their ventures and partnerships. Lending money isn’t recommended nor risking their careers for nobody, because this can cause their downfall. They may help others altruistically, however, partnerships, investments, and loans are not for them.

VENUS in the 28th mansion shows a calm, pacifist tranquil, and generally loving person. Love plays a special role in their lives, and are always looking for love which satisfies many even older people. These natives love and want to be loved, however not a few times their goals don’t correspond with their partners being the reason for suffering. They will marry without thinking and in most cases they will benefit from a wonderful marriage.

MARS in the 28th Mansion shows a possessive lover, often jealous even though they might not have a good reason. They have a territorial nature and will manifest even from childhood, and they become more possessive the more the relationship becomes serious. If they are possessive with the first lovers, with a husband or wife they will be even more. Marriage comes naturally for these natives and they consider it necessary, and will certainly find the right match. Even so, there are some good sides to this placement. These natives are devoted and have a sense of honor, are idealistic, and will defend the innocent or in danger.

JUPITER  in the 28th Mansion shows a family-oriented person, a devoted spouse, and a loving parent. They will have many satisfactions professionally, however their careers will also bring discontent and suffering. They may choose to become a prosecutor, lawyer, judge, banker or financial inspector.

SATURN in the 28th Mansion shows a life marked by austerity and poverty. This might be their general social situation, the one they are born into or earned by ending up during the course of their lives. However, they will get to know the extremes of comfort and poverty. Those born into wealthy families will squander their wealth in various financial machinations, while those born poor will have chances to become wealthy numerous times during their lives. These natives may experience alienation or isolation, be it in hospitals, at home, or in the penal system. Also, these natives who have Saturn in this mansion must know that their hardships are part of their karma and debt to themselves from other lives.

URANUS in the 28th Mansion shows a loving, open, sociable, and intelligent native. They think their role is to make people feel good or to bring a smile where it’s needed. They might be passionate about mystical love, eros dreaming or even poetry and can have a good academic, artistic, or ecclesiastical career. Many priests are born under this sign, but also poets and artists that can change the world.

NEPTUNE in the 28th Mansion shows a person who is predisposed to creative and imaginative processes. They have a karma that indebts them to some extent to humanity, especially spiritually. They are prosperous, without worries, and a bit spoiled. When well-aspected this placement gives intelligent and evolved people sometimes geniuses, however when badly aspected it can generate hypocrisy and lies.

PLUTO in the 28th Mansion shows a person with an accentuated collective karma, tightly related to spirituality and science. Their research might lead them to scientific achievements, or intense spiritual experiences. They might benefit from extrasensory abilities, especially if they develop them wisely and honestly.

LILITH in the 28th Mansion shows a lustful, lascivious, and inclined towards pleasure. These natives are very sexually active and will have many partners. They will start their sex life quite early, being precocious here as well as in other domains. Marriage will depend on their capacity to dissimulate and hide their adulteries.

THE NORTH NODE in the 28th Mansion shows that the meaning of this native’s life is to learn to use love and live to its true value. They are old souls, with many previous lives and this incarnation is one of the nodal points in its existence as an incarnated soul.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 28th Mansion shows a soul that in its previous incarnation worked on personal spiritual ascension and evolution and relation with the unseen world. This aspect is very strange and ambivalent because these natives can seem to be outside terrestrial norms and were incarnated strictly to help others unconditionally, be it retrograded due to a serious mistake and having to start anew. Their demeanor and reactions will speak on their own about their status.

The 27th and penultimate Lunar Mansion governs the space between 4º17’11”  and 17º08’36” in the sign of Pisces. Named Ahhalgalmoad, Alcharya, Alfargamahar, Algarfermuth, or Algaafalmuehar in the Medieval and Renaissance tradition, Al-Fargh-Al-Thani by Arab authors and Artulos by Coptic Greek astrologers.

Arab Astrologers say that this mansion is favorable towards nature, harvests, earnings, and marriage but is unfavorable towards travel, real estate, and lending of money in general, showing financial incompetence. We can deduce from modern medieval adapted opinions that this mansion influences agriculture, forestry, gardening, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry, therapies of any kind, businesses, finances, banks lotteries, marriage, and children.

During the time of this mansion some make talismans for commerce, friendship, harvests, and healing, and the magical works under its auspices concern friendship and enmity, against prisoners and travel by water.
The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion to the Human Realm. Its attribute or divinely associated name is “The unifier” and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Mim or the sound M.

THE SUN in the 27th Mansion shows a pleasant, well-mannered, open, and sociable person. These natives have a distinct way of treating people, with honesty, respect, and cherish regardless if it’s a close friend or someone they have just been acquainted with recently. They treat everyone with respect and cordiality, however not distantly and condescendingly but warm and affable, adding a drop of charisma. They have a good sense of humor but without acting the fools, make people laugh but not in a vulgar manner, and draw much pleasure from making others feel at large. Loves nature, the sun, and light and is careful in family and couple, being capable of becoming a great spouse and parent.

THE MOON in the 27th Lunar Mansion shows a very psychically open person. They show great receptivity, are empathic, and have an instinctual and developed intelligence. These natives may be attracted by the unseen worlds, by spirituality, mediumship, and the practice of divination with a rarely encountered dexterity. They are instinctual, self-taught, and sometimes quite erudite, however, their predisposition toward psychism doesn’t spare them some life hardships. Their destinies are fraught with delays and mishaps, an aspect that they will have to accept as a way of learning what is necessary.

MERCURY in the 27th Mansion shows a person whose childhood and youth are under the sign of uncertainty. They can’t make up their mind and are shifty, pass from one passion to another and do the same with their ideals, and have trouble finding their place because they adapt quickly but also get tired just as quickly. They will experience great joy from children and can be loving and dedicated parents or teachers. They lose their money just as fast as they earn it. It would be a good idea to abstain from business or get rich quickly as they are prone to risk and losing everything.

VENUS in the 27th Mansion shows a native who is always in love, always dreaming of someone, and willing to love or be loved. They have serious thoughts with every partner they fancy, after a few days, they will think of the future of the relationship for the next few years, and after a few months will quietly dream of the last details of marriage. They are good-natured, sensible, loving, and dedicated to what they do. They have a curiously poetic nature and suffer a lot even though don’t have a good reason.

MARS in the 27th Mansion shows a friendly and happy native, however they can be annoying in some ways. They are aggressive, quarrelsome, mischievous, often rude, and make jokes at other’s expense that only they see as being funny. These natives have way too little respect for other people’s feelings, and when it is necessary or for the right cause, they will leave all sense of humanity or feelings and will stop at nothing on their way to victory. It is recommended that they live in the countryside or province, where they can have great success in agriculture. Their defects hide a great strength for work and great determination, being especially active and hardworking.

JUPITER in the 27th Mansion shows a good, merciful, and open person. They have big hearts and show this fully when necessary. They are tempered, and balanced, a reason for which they can excel in their careers and gain substantial riches. They are philanthropists par excellence, however do it out of an honest desire to help their neighbors and not to gain the admiration of others. They can be great parents and devoted spouses.

SATURN  in the 27th Mansion shows a native who is predisposed towards melancholy and a meditative state. Saturn’s position here can determine a withdrawn life, however, this can differ depending on the aspect. When badly aspected it will show the life of a refugee (self)exiled, a lonely person who doesn’t appreciate anything and will have trouble making themselves pleasant to eventual company. When well aspected we are dealing with a tempered, lonely person who is content with solitude, this person withdraws from the world to contemplate the subtle realities and depths of spirit.

URANUS in the 27th Mansion shows a person who is interested in the occult sciences, especially those who aim at the worlds beyond, such as spirit communication, necromancy, or the evocation of spirits. They are natural-born diviners and wield some divinatory arts with great ease. When badly aspected, Uranus in this mansion shows a scammer that exploits the gullibility of people in the spiritual domain. Also, an honest seeker and a talented telepath are being manipulated by intelligences that pretend to be something they are not.

NEPTUNE  in the 27th Mansion shows a person with highly developed and receptive psychic powers, and an intellect to match. They are attracted to healing by any possible means. Natural therapy, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and treatment of energy fields may be their favorite methods, along with a variety of contemporary medicine. They will help the progress of medicine and reconcile science with spirituality.

PLUTO in the 27th Mansion shows a person who will commit what is called “necessary evil” . Not being evil intended people, part of their mission is especially difficult, the causing the suffering of others that they deserve and those who have in their karma learning through suffering and pain. Just like the executioner and doctor, they use an iron blade to cut and remove undesired and unhealthy things(one from the body, another from society), this person will exert the Divine Plan when will cause suffering. He may be a serial killer or a dramatic actor, but their role is to teach others the lesson of pain.

LILITH in the 27th Mansion shows a vengeful and outrageous nature. These natives are capable, cunning, and manipulative, and know very well how they can determine their fellows to do what they want. They often help others, however, they do it to make others owe them and to have an advantage over them. When badly aspected, this position will determine a lot of perversion and evil done consciously They have psyching abilities that can be used for manipulation and for using magical means to coerce their targets.

THE NORTH NODE in the 27th Mansion shows that the meaning of the native’s life is work and the value of work. The more they learn the lesson of work and effort, the more their psychic abilities will begin to manifest as a confirmation of their worth. Their work will be altruistic for the most part, dedicated toward others and this will raise them any occult-related efforts.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 27th Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives worked very hard and knew how to share the fruits of their labor. They were dedicated spouses and leaders of families, sacrificing almost everything for the well-being of their families. In their current life they can detach from their family and pursue the path of self-realization in solitude if they so desire, without being accused of running away from their responsibilities.

It governs the space between 21º25’45”  in Aquarius and 4º17’10” in Pisces. Named Alpharg(Phtagal) Mocaden, Algafarmuth, Algafalbuchor, Algazaldi, Alm, Almisdam, and Fargalmocaden in the Renaissance tradition, Al Farg Al Mukdim by Arab authors and Upeutherian by Coptic Greek Astrologers.

Arab Astrologers say that this mansion is favorable for the construction of buildings that will prove to be resilient and durable, buying of slaves who will be good and faithful, and beginning travels that however will have some delays. It is unfavorable towards partnerships and marriages.

We can deduce from modern adapted medieval opinions that this lunar mansion influences builders, architects, engineers, real estate and insurance agents, those who work in public relations or in human resources, and sailors or all involved in transport by water.

Even though it is a love-related mansion, there is a distinction between marriages, romances, and “the love of men’’, meaning popularity in the social domain and business. In the time of this mansion, some make talismans for good understanding between people, but not for couples, and the magical works done under its auspices aim for privilege, prestige, affability, and personal magnetism.

The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion with the realms of Djinn, supernatural creatures somewhere between man and angel, made by God from fire without smoke. Its attribute or divinely associated name is “The Subtle One”, and in the Arabic kabbalah, its corresponding letter is Bâ or a simple B.

THE SUN  in the 26th Mansion shows a very pleasant person, well seen in the field they work in. They are seductive, but at the same time innocent and honest. They win everything fast, but above all else, they win the trust and affection of the ones around them. Love truth and are as honest as possible but with tact and diplomacy, to not hurt the ones he addresses. They are clever and gentle bosses, good fathers, and generous.

THE MOON  in the 26th Mansion indicates relationship problems, incompatibilities of a personal nature, and many misunderstandings. These natives won’t marry, but if they do, it will last very little. Even though they have great personal magnetism and can attract people of both sexes, they don’t attract the right partners. They are intelligent, cultured, and diplomatic but way too focused on their bad luck in their love life. They tend towards the dramatic and often don’t find their place, expressing their unhappiness more than they should. When they are outside a relationship, they will crave a partner, and when they are involved in one, they crave being single and freedom. Despite their intelligence, they aren’t the best example of practical wisdom or of the power to make good choices.

MERCURY in the 26th Mansion shows a very interesting person who always manages to earn the sympathy of the ones around. They are sometimes rude, malicious, and stupid, but often have much humor and know how to work on other people’s emotions. They are the perfect emotional blackmailer who can obtain anything with a sad look and a half-baked story if not everything.

They manipulate the feelings and principles of others but often don’t realize they are doing it. Mercury in this malefic domain shows a perfidious and duplicitous person, but who gets along well with everyone on the surface, followed by gossip, and wicked remarks behind other’s backs. They adore bewildering and provoking intrigues while keeping an innocent-looking face.

VENUS in the 26th Mansion shows an extremely kind, giving, sentimental, and sensible person. They are friendly and funny, and have a special appeal in every stage of their lives: in childhood, they are adorable, in youth are seductive and in old age, charming. They rarely find a person who dislikes them, generally envious people. Can have successful careers in theatre, film, or entertainment. They love much and love to be loved.

MARS in the 26th Mansion shows an impetuous, energetic, and strong individual. They are idealistic and often fight for the respect of moral human virtues. They love truth, courage, and honor, feeling proud of those who show the same values among their circles of friends. They can have a military, political, or publishing career. In relationships, they are honest, diplomatic, and detached in their love lives. There will be some sentimental ruptures due to their capricious and volatile nature, and marriages will fail due to their duty towards their work or other things they are engaged in.

JUPITER in the 26th Mansion shows a very pleasant person who loves to have fun at any age. They bring joy with them wherever they go, the kind who gathers people around them always. They can be the colleagues who cheer people up, the cool boss, the favorite teacher, or the father who is their children’s best friend. They love to laugh and make others laugh even at their own expense. These natives are generous and help others as much as they can, trying to make themselves the example of virtuous behavior. They will have success in business and their careers but only on their own, without partners or help that will facilitate their advancement.

SATURN in the 26th Mansion shows a native who is apparently serious but hides a side full of humor that comes to the surface from time to time. They are very preoccupied by plans and what they will leave behind. They live a rather austere life because of certain losses they suffered and because of the irresponsibility of their parents, they wish to avoid such conditions for their followers, gathering as much as possible for them.

URANUS in the 26th Mansion shows a person who is interested in progress, of everything that is new and exciting. They can equally develop artistic and technical skills, and their minds will make them extremely sought after.

NEPTUNE in the 26th Mansion shows a loving, friendly person, but unpredictable action. They are sociable and open, but nobody can say they know them. They always have a note of mystery, even though others know them to some extent.

PLUTO in the 26th Mansion shows a very unpredictable person with the ones around. They are either full of affection or full of painful remarks, sometimes happy, other times sad, and they motivate their reactions in a convoluted manner from which they always lay the blame on others for their tantrums.

LILITH in the 26th Mansion shows a superficial person who craves a lot of attention. These natives love to be spoiled, comforted, and free pleasures. They draw energy from the admiration of others and love being at the center of attention. Relationships will go badly because of their ego, especially the moment they accuse their partners of things they are guilty of. They love to fascinate and manipulate, be it openly or subtly.

THE NORTH NODE in the 26th Mansion shows that the meaning of life of this person is to manifest unconditional love towards people. In previous lives, they loved in an attached manner, emotionally sickening, asking for much in exchange for their love and fidelity. Now they need to learn that love is a colossal force that has no limits, and they should put barriers. They have to learn honestly without expecting reciprocity or happiness in this regard.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 26th Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives was much loved and loved a lot. They must move over this subsidiary feeling of guilt that haunts them, trying to do as much as possible for others. They most likely sacrificed much and finished their lives asking themselves if they did enough. Dying, they felt remorse leaving the ones they tried to protect and help. These were memorable people, loved in every sense, but now they need to channel their forces and use them for a high and detached form of love.

It governs the space between 08º34’19” and 21º25’44” in the sign of Aquarius. It was named Caadaladbia, Caaldabachia, Sadalabbia, Sadalabra, or Sadalchia in the Renaissance tradition, Al Sa’d al Ahbiyah by Arabic authors and Upeiuneutes by Coptic Greek astrologers. Arab Astrologers say that this mansion is favorable for construction, travel, trees, and harvests, but is unfavorable for marriage and partnerships.

We can deduce from modern adapted medieval opinions that this lunar mansion influences architects, construction workers, masons, real estate agents, tourist agencies, drivers, sailors, and pilots but also lawyers who specialize in commercial solvency, parting, and divorces.

During the time of this mansion or house, some make talismans for victory over enemies, for revenge, and the magical works made under its auspices concern sex and impotence.

The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion with the Angelic Realm, out of the realms which compose the magickal cosmology. Its attribute or divinely associated name is “The Mighty one” and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Fâ or the sound F.

THE SUN in the 25th Mansion shows a strong, determined, and tenacious person but also someone who is vain and superficial at the same time. They can’t stand competition and spend a great deal of their time trying to match, overtake, and even eliminate their rivals. They are Amphitrons par excellence, and in their career and family life, they can become tyrannical. They have an extreme need to be right and to be recognized for their merits. Their main health concern is their heart and their general level of vitality.

THE MOON in the 25th Mansion shows an imaginative, creative, and clever person but with a very difficult, capricious, and even possessive demeanor bordering despotism.  Their relationships are short, marriage will be destined for divorce and social relationships will be very tense because of their domineering and scheming nature. They love nature, and forests and have a great interest in what involves agriculture, and gardening, being able to take refuge in these towards the second half of their lives in loneliness. These natives are predisposed to suffering due to hereditary diseases mostly inherited from their mothers. Pregnancies will be mostly affected if infertility isn’t a problem.

MERCURY in the 25th Mansion shows a person who lives fast, is in a rush and acts impulsively. They are hyperactive at work and in their free time, and when comes to communication they are chatty, wasteful, and downright verbose. These natives are very punctual, always in a hurry; are prompt but one can never rely on their honesty; they have fast and good reflexes, but not always constructively oriented. They want to prove themselves to others and are often callous and hypocritical, or at least duplicitous, and their vice is smoking, and will have trouble getting rid of it. This habit will in time lead to serious trouble with their respiratory system.

VENUS in the 25th Mansion shows a vain, superficial, and uncaring person who benefited from a proper upbringing but shows only bad manners. They are possessive in their love life and marriage will last an extremely short time. Diseases will most often affect the sexual glands, especially ovarian afflictions. Balding will be something men will have to contend with. They will generally have love-related problems, excessive sexuality, emotional immaturity, and sterility.

MARS in the 25th Mansion shows a very combative, impulsive, and proud person. They have serious trouble controlling their aggression. These are people who never forget the people who wronged them and are very inclined towards getting revenge. They are tyrannical and consider that everyone should listen to them. They are imprudent and risk becoming the victims of their own scheming. Can suffer due to work-related accidents, but also those related to sports or the army, they can also develop problems with their genitals. This will negatively affect their relationships with the opposite sex.

JUPITER in the 25th Mansion shows a steady, stable, tenacious but vain and greedy person in many ways. They have an old patriarchal mentality and want to play the most important role in family and business life as well as in politics. Problems with their fathers and bosses marked them a lot, modeling their personality greatly. They are authoritarian as bosses, strict, and more of a tyrant than a leader, their employees are always unhappy and often end up quitting. They can inherit diseases from their fathers and the most vulnerable parts are their joints, arteries, and especially the liver.

SATURN in the 25th Mansion shows us a native who is closed within, melancholic, antisocial, and unforgiving. They have very little mercy for those who wrong them even without intention, a reason for which they close themselves off due to much discontent, anguish, and negative feelings. Jealousy, rancor, and hate will push them into very negative states, and in the second part of their life towers claustration, be it jail following some brutal revenge being institutionalized in an asylum or hospital, or even self-imposed exile in their own homes. They can also withdraw in a rural area, having a passion for agriculture and gardening.

URANUS in the 25th Mansion shows a very original and inventive native who has a new vision about the world but also has many moral and affective defects. They are very attached to their own point of view, substituting it to an immutable truth, they will try to impose it on others.  They react rather badly when they are contradicted or thoroughly analyzed, taking any critique towards him and his ideas as a personal attack. They feel betrayed when those close won’t agree with them and this will culminate in pesimism or persecution mania. Cryptic in expression, they love to play the role of the wise and mysterious person, denying their ignorance when are reproached. They can have trouble with their nervous system.

NEPTUNE in the 25th Mansion shows an intuitive, sensitive, fluctuating, and impressionable person. They tend to act weird to be noticed, they love to pretend, and even end up believing their own representation. They have a melancholic nature, often time more tragic and pessimistic than the situation demands. They can draw a pessimistic interpretation even out of the luckiest of situations. They find refuge in vice, partly because of their native tragedy, and also because of their fascination their vices exert over others. They want to become interesting through decadence and sometimes they succeed. Are predisposed towards psychosomatic illnesses and infections.

PLUTO in the 25th Mansion shows a very interesting person, to the ones around, he is someone they will remember. Natives often times behave strangely and have very rude manners in inappropriate situations, usually standing out in the crowd. They want to make a personal legend out of themselves and are horrified of the thought that they won’t be remembered after their deaths. They mix up celebrity with notoriety, rudeness with originality, arrogance with determination. They have radical views and tend to judge. Are duplicitous, fake, and outrageous, liking to break people up. They can have trouble with their nervous system and skin diseases.

LILITH in the 25th Mansion Mansion shows an intrusive, rude, and uncomfortable nature. In their circle of friends, they appear to be the “little devil” on the shoulders of those who are undecided, suggesting the most destructive solution only for the sake of fun. They consider themselves superior and love to amuse themselves with the “weaknesses” and “foolishness” of people such as love, friendship, fidelity, altruism, and mercy. They are extremely competitive and never hesitate to destroy their obstacles or competition.

THE NORTH NODE  in the 25th Mansion shows that the meaning of the native’s life is advancing the goals they make regardless of hardships. These natives need to own up to the path they were given with all its risks, hardships, and sacrifices. Their life lesson is giving up small comforts for a greater struggle and for more important goals.

THE NORTH NODE  in the 25th Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives did everything to fulfil its desires, even with the cost of the suffering of others. These were strong and proud people who were obsessed with their goals and stopped at nothing to fulfill them. In this life, they need to learn modesty, humility and selfless service towards others.

It governs the space between 25º42’53” in Capricorn and 08º34’18” in Aquarius. In the Renaissance tradition, it is named Chadezoath, Caadachot, Caadachahot, Sadabath, Zaadescod, and Zaaldodothoth. It is also named Al Sa’d al Su’ud by Arab authors and Upeuritos by Coptic Greek astrologers.  Arab astrologers say that this mansion is favorable for breeding cattle, the victory of soldiers, and conjugal partnerships, but it is unfavorable for exerting authority and provoking rebellion. During the rulership of this mansion, some make talismans for love, peace in relationships, commerce, and triumph over enemies, and magical works under its auspices aim at the destruction of actions or properties of others.

The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion with the animal realm. Its divine attribute or associated name is “He who humbles himself” and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Dh or Dhal.

THE SUN in the 24th Mansion indicates a rather bad aspect in a natal chart. People who work in administration or people in power will be negatively influenced, especially if the post is higher.

THE MOON in the 24th Mansion shows a person with an important career, even sweeping that will eventually have an unhappy ending. Politicians or statesmen with this sign have illustrious careers that end in tragedy either from open defeats or from various compromises. When the native occupies a higher station, the more unhappy the ending will be. They may be happy in family life though, especially in marriage.

MERCURY in the 24th Mansion shows a person with a lot of inventiveness and lots of work of energy. They are loyal friends, even if he has a wide circle of friends. They don’t enjoy sacrificing one friendship for another and they don’t make hierarchies amongst friends depending on personal interests. These natives are advised to pursue trade and commerce as a trade and everything related to it, including economy, accounting, and banking, however, success will come on their own. Partnerships will end in fights and break-ups. They may have trouble with children who will be undisciplined and unruly.

VENUS in the 24th Mansion shows a native who is inclined towards a love life and who feels best with a partner. They will have a tendency to marry prematurely, however, those who will resist this temptation will fare better, marriage being always a decisive step that requires maturity. They are loving people, warm, open, and affable.

MARS in the 24th Mansion shows a native who is especially combative, and will always look to win at any cause and situation. They can be difficult people to deal with and will find a life partner with great difficulty because they believe everything is a battle.

JUPITER in the 24th Mansion shows a person who is destined for a political or administrative life, who will have trouble with the subordinates they will work with. They can become victims of political coups. scandals, revolutions, and revolts suffering more, the more higher or important their position is. The natives with this sign can enter politics and administration but are advised to avoid leadership roles or those with great responsibilities.

SATURN in the 24th Mansion shows a native with great problems with authority. The more the authority figure is experienced or old, the more it will repuse the native. This will manifest like a boomerang. As they grow older, they will lose their social standing and power to rule, they will become pariahs, not thinking of authority over those in other generations.

URANUS in the 24th Mansion shows a native who doesn’t fit into normal types of behavior and psychology. However, these people have a high degree of spiritual refinement. They are strange, see things from very different angles to the tradition most are used to, and solve problems in a completely unique and original way. They are inventive and innovative, and in any field of activity, they will be able to bring something fresh and new.

NEPTUNE in the 24th Mansion shows a person who has a lot of things to say but will not be heard. They have great souls, a good mind, and their intentions ar as good as they can get, however, the way in which they present them will drive people away. As the saying goes “nobody is a prophet in their village”. These natives will try to find followers abroad or in niche audiences. The more zealous they become and the need to be heard will increase, the more opposition they will face, and the closer this opposition will become, first unknown people, then colleagues, then neighbors and family.

PLUTO in the 24th Mansion shows a person whose strength is mutability. Everything they believe in this life can be changed and corrected. They can mold themselves based on the demands of the environments they act in and use this to their advantage. The great challenge will be to find themselves truly, not just as the sum of the multiple faces they show.

LILITH in the 24th Mansion shows an extremely rebellious and unruly person. The native will be a problem child and growing up he will become a problem teenager. In his adult life, he will detest listening and morals, conforming only to their own moral and behavioral code.

THE NORTH NODE in the 24th Mansion shows that the meaning of the natives’ current life is owning up to their responsibilities. Starting from the day-to-day ones up until the last choice they will make, these natives will be strongly impulsed, motivated, and rewarded but also sentenced from the perspective of owning up to risk and responsibilities.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 24th Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives suffered based on the decisions it made and owning up to responsibilities. Found in a position of power or protecting someone they love, they ended up taking upon themselves the guilt for many unpleasant situations created by others. In this life, they have many friends, and many people feel they owe them, but will also attract those who still want to gain from their kindness. They must learn to choose carefully and with good judgment and wisdom for whom they will sacrifice themselves.

It shows, from the centre: the ancient planets (the Moon with a mirror; Mercury as a scribe; Venus with a dulcimer; a haloed Sun; Mars as a warrior; Jupiter as a worthy; Saturn as an ascetic), the signs of the Zodiac in a clockwise order, the Moon’s phases in an anti-clockwise order aligned with the Mansions of the Moon.)

It governs the space between 12º51’27” and 25º42’52” in the sign of Capricorn. It was named Caaldebolach, Caaldebolab, Caaldebdala, Caciddebola, Zadebolal, Sabadola, or Zorbach in the Renaissance tradition, Al Sa’d al Bula by Arab authors and Upteutos by Coptic Greek astrologers.

Arab astrologers say this mansion is favorable for partnerships, healers, soldiers, prisoners, and the country’s great people, but it is unfavorable towards marriage(great chances of divorce), romantic relationships, and travel.
We can deduce from modern adapted medieval opinions that this lunar mansion influences business partnerships as well as political ones, doctors, therapists from every branch of medicine, military, policemen, state agents and enforcers, fighters, prisoners, politicians, divorces, and divorce lawyers.  During the time of this mansion, some make talismans for healing the sick, and bringing partners together to form a couple, and the magical works made during its auspices concern divorce, quarrels, and breakups.

The Sufi Mystic, Ibn Arabi, links this mansion with the vegetal realm out of the earthly realms. Its attribute or divine associated name is “The nurturing one” and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Tha or the accentuated Th sound.

THE SUN in the 23rd Mansion shows a native with a strong, magnetic, and overwhelming personality all at the same time. They tend to fill in the spaces they enter, attract the attention of the ones around them, and dominate crowds. They possess leadership qualities, however the difference between their positive and negative manifestation can mean the difference between them being heroes or tyrants.

THE MOON in the 23rd Mansion shows a person with strong intuition and extra sensorial abilities. These natives have an impressive personal magnetism and they exert a unique fascination with the ones around them. If they decide to follow the spiritual path, they can increase their powers exponentially depending on their dedication and involved altruism in this regard. Relations won’t always go well and marriage will fail almost every time. The woman will be the cause of arguments, female natives will find new defects every day for which to criticize their partners, and the men with this sign will have partners who will be more and more possessive and demanding. It’s a sign that we should detach ourselves from our personal lives and dedicate our resources to our inner spiritual lives.

MERCURY in the 23rd Mansion shows a very busy person who should learn to sort out their priorities. Often things will not work regarding some projects they will get into, especially because they need to make themselves available for others or themselves. They are very busy, hasty, and always involved in something, a sort of jack of all trades, and rarely are the domains they get involved in similar. Many people will think they are dedicated to only one domain, and will not know of the others, misjudging them.

VENUS in the 23rdh Mansion shows a person for whom emotional relationships are rather important, however, they won’t always be beneficial. These people need love but don’t love based on their demands. Even though their relationships are based on honest and altruistic love will go well, marriage isn’t recommended at all. Often they are way too selective with the opposite sex, and judge people superficially, based on how they look or dress. Because of this, they may overlook people who are meant for them. They will suffer the consequences for this and later in life will have to contend with the brutal repercussions of their superficiality: loneliness.

MARS in the 23rd Mansion shows a native with a lot of strength, great physical power, and a personality to match. Those who will have a strong personality won’t have such an imposing physique, their strength being entirely mental and psychic. These natives can be politicians or important people in the field they work in, however, they are prone to bouts of anger, and fury and will have to deal with a vulcanic behavior. Those who will not excel through their personality will do so in the physical plain, they will have brute strength, an imposing physique, and good health. They can be sportsmen, soldiers, enforcers, bodyguards, firemen, or police officers.

JUPITER in the 23rd Mansion shows a person who is very preoccupied with their career, however, their efforts will be in vain if they don’t adopt a spiritual vision. Superficiality and sinking into materialism to the detriment of spirit can cause problems throughout their careers, losing jobs, bad luck, problems with the law, and ruin at the end of their lives. By dedicating every action to God and others and finding pleasure and joy in all that they do, these natives will sidestep all these negative effects.

SATURN in the 23rd Mansion shows a lonely person who will reap the rewards of a rough youth. Their choices will affect their old age and will have many regrets. They will isolate themselves to pursue study, reason, philosophy, or simply because of the lack of joy social contact will cause them. They will live avidly and will hold on to many things, whether it be money, loans, old items, or information. They are thirsty and can’t control their need to consume. Medically, people with this aspect can be voracious in their appetite which will lead to obesity, cardiovascular problems, and issues with the bone structure.

URANUS in the 23rd Mansion shows a native with therapeutic inclinations. Even though people in general can heal others, it will take some time until this becomes part of our collective consciousness. These natives have the calling to become healers, they can dedicate themselves to therapeutic disciples of any field with great success. A possible medical career, however, Uranus indicates everything that is related to bioenergy and spirituality. From bio-energy therapy to Asian medicine to reiki, psychotherapy to manipulation of fields, they will have a fascination for healing through the power of spirit.

NEPTUNE in the 23rd Mansion shows a very pleasant and magnetic person having a developed spiritual side. Even though they won’t enter the domain of occult sciences or esotericism, these natives go deep into religion, tradition, and prayer to find peace. The practice of hesychasm is highly recommended for those determined to take the path of the monk. They give good advice and are calm, and their magnetism comes from an unconditional love of people.

PLUTO in the 23rd Mansion shows a person with a capricious temperament, sometimes vulcanic. They have some extrasensory powers, however often their feelings on an emotional level can hinder them. Every breaking of universal laws is harshly punished in the shortest time possible. They need to learn patience, modesty, humbleness and to put their faith in God before their own will.

LILITH in the 23rd Mansion shows a playful nature, rude sometimes the person does not recognize himself. They incline plotting and manipulation. They are possessive, especially with loved ones. They can cause arguments, and breakups through some intrigue or actions, be they conscious or subconscious. Their possessiveness is due to their lack of soul maturity for these individuals. They must first and foremost be careful of distractions that can affect the lives of others, and if they are worth loading their karma with such reproachable deeds.

THE NORTH NODE in the 23rd Mansion shows that their life’s mission is availability towards all that need them. They must learn to put themselves in other’s shoes develop empathy and experience the world not only through their eyes but also through the ones close to them. They will lead a life of sacrifice, often leading to situations when they will have to sacrifice something in their lives or some of their freedom for a good cause.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 23rd Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives has gained a lot. They sought to gain and to keep for the simple pleasure of having, to possess, and to add to their wealth. They were possessive when it came to their social, intimate, intellectual, and financial lives. They saved a lot fo money, tried to gather people close that would need them, they sought to take love, not to earn it. In this life, they must give. They must learn the value of sharing, and giving from all their soul, even to the detriment of their comfort.

It governs the space between 0º0’0” and 12º51’26” in the sign of Capricorn.

In the Renaissance tradition, it was named Acadaldeba, Caaldalbala, Caalbeba, Sahaddadebe, Sadabacha, Zodeboluch, or Zendeldena. Arab authors named it Al Sa’d al Dhabih and Polis according to Coptic Greeks.

Arab astrologers say that this mansion is favorable for deserters, runaways, sick people, business partnerships, and embarkments, but is unfavorable for purchasing slaves(who will revolt against their master), and marriage(the man will be treated badly by the woman).

We can deduce from modern adapted medieval opinions that this lunar mansion influences people who are on the run from the consequences of their own actions, but also those who are unfairly incarcerated that manage to escape. It is also favorable for starting new projects and establishing of partnerships, however, it isn’t recommended for hiring new people in a company, or to start romantic relationships.

During the time of this mansion, some make talismans to stimulate recovery, and magical workings made under its auspices aim to sow discord between people but also the attraction of friendship. The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi links this mansion with the Mineral Realm, the first in the series of enumerated realms, but also the least developed. Its attribute or divine name is “The Precious One”, and in the Arabic kabbalah, its corresponding letter is Zâ or an accentuated Z sound.

THE SUN in the 22nd Mansion indicates a memorable person with a strong personality. They have a hegemonic and domineering character and manage to impose their point of view with ease. In time they will rise to important political or administrative points, being out of the ordinary in posterity for their deeds, or because of their role in their country’s affairs.

THE MOON in the 22nd Mansion shows a crafty person who knows how to manipulate people, be it intentional or instinctive in order to achieve its goals. They are not malicious in essence, but oftentimes, the way they approach people and their mentality makes these natives be described by others with less favorable terms. They will have trouble with women, especially those in their own family, and the premature death of the mother or her loss in other circumstances will be often met.

MERCURY in the 22nd Mansion shows a duplicitous and intelligent person who is more clever and machiavellian than cultured and well-educated. They know how to cover their tracks when they did something wrong, and oftentimes fate favors the thief, eluding justice with success.

In the best case, they can be defended by Divine Providence after they do something illegal, dedicating their lives as thanks to the service of others and spiritual causes. In worse cases, they will linger in illegality, encouraged by their native luck, but getting caught eventually.

VENUS in the 22nd Mansion shows sentimental problems, a rich intimate life but fraught with controversy and erotic unfulfilment. They will have trouble with women, regardless if the natives are men or women. Men will clash with their wives, girlfriends, friends, and extremely unfit lovers, and women will clash with rivals or mistresses of their partners. Marriage is strongly discouraged.

MARS in the 22nd Mansion shows a very strong, competitive, and proud person. They rarely can get along with someone, and then, the relationship is based on competitiveness that brings the two together. As a husband, he can be misunderstood, jealous, and possessive, and as a father, he will have major losses. Family life isn’t recommended, especially if they are not attracted to it, however, they may fall prey to perverted intents from women who want to have him at any price.

JUPITER in the 22nd Mansion shows a person with good social status but with unfairly attained wealth. They have a happy demeanor however a bit acidic. Their humour is delectable for some, but insufferable for others, especially the targets of their sarcasm. Financial risk is not recommended of any kind, especially monetary credit which will never be honored. In a negative aspect, we are dealing with the typical corrupt politician, at least as an extremely influential person, but with dubious morality.

SATURN in the 22nd Mansion shows an aloof and quarrelsome person who possesses a critical side that is extremely developed. They will live their lives alone, preferring solitude to the detriment of ephemeral relationships.  They want to focus on their goals as much as possible instead of developing social, sentimental, or familial relationships and have a good chance of living the last part of their lives in solitude. Even though this is a lifestyle they choose for themselves, they often pity themselves by saying they have no other choice. Because of their dissatisfaction, they are tempted to project their weaknesses onto others, criticizing them for their defects, thus their criticism isn’t always justified, nor is it fully objective.

URANUS  in the 22nd Mansion shows a person who is passionate about spirituality, the paranormal, and esotericism, having activities in these domains and hoping to use them as much as possible out of curiosity. They will garner some fame in these associated circles and will gain some influence. Unfortunately, these types of people are predisposed towards being charlatans. When badly aspected, this Uranus in the 22nd Mansion can indicate the sorcerer, charlatan, and false magician. Using these occult powers in low goals is rather rare for these natives, more often indicating the model of the trickster. Incapable to prove their abilities, they will be content with manipulating the ignorant masses and impressing the gullible.

NEPTUNE in the 22nd Mansion shows a person who is predisposed towards psychological problems due to intense emotional experiences. Failed relationships, arguments with their partners, or sentimental problems will push them into more and more precarious health. They may fall prey to some psychosomatic afflictions, especially ulcers. They will have tense relationships with older women, especially mothers and grandmothers.

PLUTO in the 22nd Mansion shows a duplicitous and indecisive person with strong psychic experiences. They will be unhappy in the erotic or sentimental domain, with many problems caused by women, or because of arguments that will arise on their behalf. They can have health problems, especially in the second part of their lives with their bones. They are fragile people, being predisposed to breaking bones, but also arthritis and degenerative illnesses.

LILITH in the 22nd Mansion shows a possessive and jealous person. These natives are predisposed towards bitter egoism, acute egocentrism, and sadic syndrome. They are never faithful to their partners, and one of their pleasures is manipulation. Unfortunately, their victims will be people who need to learn through suffering, thus these natives, regardless of how much evil they seem to commit, do nothing but play the role they were given when were born.

THE NORTH NODE in this Mansion shows that the purpose of the current life of this native is to give new chances. For these natives, this life is one with little suffering, and karmic lessons can be mild. Even though they have a hard karma to burn, just like others, their previous lives give them a chance for forgiveness. They often get away from the punishment that they deserve based on their behavior and good deeds. They benefit from considerable free will, but it only depends on them how they want to use it.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 22nd Mansion indicates a soul that in previous lives tried to run away from responsibilities. From minor ones like work or helping others to karmic debts, these natives try to always run from fulfilling them. It is possible they learned different esoteric or occult disciplines such as alchemy or yoga to set themselves free from karma, however, they will only add new lessons to learn in the course of their current lives. These natives need to learn responsibility, altruism, and patience, especially how to make peace with the idea of suffering for their own mistakes in the past.

On the Zodial circle, it governs the domain between 17º08’37” in Sagittarius and 0º of Capricorn.

This Mansion was called Aldelbach, Albeda, Abeda during the Renaissance period, Elbelda, Al-Baldah by Arab authors, and Ni-Mamreh by Coptic Greek astrologers.

Arab astrologers say that this house governs money, buildings, and travel, but is unfavorable for relationships and marriages. From modern-adapted medieval sources, we can deduce that this lunar mansion influences finances, banks, accountants, economists, farmers, constructors, real estate agents, travel agencies, transport, but also sharing lawyers. During the time of this mansion or house, some made talismans for the welfare of crops, to increase wealth, and for the protection of buildings and travelers, but also spells meant to bring break-ups, misunderstandings, or divorce.

The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi says that this mansion corresponds with the sphere of earth, or the 4th elemental “heaven” found in the sublunar domain. It is the home of earth daemons, elemental beings known as gnomes, trolls in European folklore, or of the earth and sand jinn in the Arabic tradition.

Its attribute or divine name is related to the death aspect of God, or “The one who grants death”, and in the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Sad or the accentuated “S” sound.

THE SUN in the 21st Mansion indicates a brave, confident, and optimistic person with a lust for life. They rather see the positive side of things and know how to choose what life gives them to reap good results. They put a great emphasis on moral values, especially honor. They can be a bit impulsive and rushed, however, they can respect a hierarchically imposed order, especially if that hierarchy is fair. They are full of fairness and compassion, sacrificing the little they have sometimes for the benefit of those without possibilities.

THE MOON in the 21st Mansion shows a mellow, indecisive, trusting, and imprudent person. They are usually torn away from objective reality, obstinately refusing to conform even to the most elementary of norms for collective conduct, and they consider themselves unique.  They can be typical rebels, rebellious persons in general without a specific goal, but who always crave to show their uniqueness and nonconformity. Once past youth, these natives will find themselves maladapted and obtuse in their social circles, developing a lot of existential anguish.

MERCURY in the 21st Mansion shows a person who always has trouble finding their place. They are fond of travel, and most likely will choose a career that will include many trips. Financially they are pretty well off, always having the possibility to provide for themselves or for what they desire through their intelligence and their ability to handle themselves. They are very lucky, benefit from good protection, and always seem to get away unscratched from dire situations. They are chatty and funny, but not as good as friends and they also don’t have real friends. They are wanderers and will find a place of their own with difficulty, possibly towards the end of their lives.

VENUS in the 21st Mansion shows a dreamy and insatiable person, especially emotionally. They are always open to new possibilities, always looking for something new and exciting, regardless of whether it is a job, a hobby, college, or especially a partner. Regardless of their lack of intimate devotion and horror for monogamy, these natives are still loving, open, empathic, and even philanthropic. They put a lot of effort into what they do and aim to please the people around them, even if they can’t always manage to do this with everyone.

MARS in the 21st Mansion shows a very active native with little control over their instincts and actions. They are passionate, strong, vigorous, and clinically healthy, however, their self-confidence can fuel their vices and weaknesses. Excessive passion may lead them to infidelity and thus to an unfulfilled sentimental life. Their vigor will lead to sexual excesses that will contribute to physical and energetic exhaustion or dysfunction of this nature. Their strength can surely take them through their own means to delusions of grandeur, and to eating excesses and bad hygiene that will cause trouble in the second part of their lives. Moderation is recommended as well as modesty to not fall prey to their own traps and excesses.

JUPITER in the 21st Mansion shows a person with good social status but with a career that will be fraught with problems. These natives know the ups and downs of career life, often moving from poverty to wealth, only to lose it again and start from scratch. They should pursue wisdom and the highest of morals to avoid these pitfalls, a life lived by the principles of simplicity and altruism can offer them balance.

SATURN in the 21st Mansion shows a predisposition towards chronic illnesses from which these natives will suffer at length. They are lonely, melancholic, and predisposed towards psychosomatic afflictions with which they will struggle in the last third of their lives. They are disappointed by their friends and entourage, most of them proving themselves to never really have been their friends. Starting out as wide-eyed dreamers when they are young, they may end up as old incurable skeptics, offering unconditional trust with difficulty.

URANUS in the 21st Mansion shows a kind and altruistic person who is way too imprudent when offering trust. They have many acquaintances but also many friends, and the lines between these two are rather thin. They try to please everyone, and promise many things, but rarely can keep all their promises. They are maybe too permissive, forgive many things, and can’t stay upset for long on someone, and neither can the others hold grudges against them.

NEPTUNE in the 21st Mansion shows a loving, tranquil, and lucky person. They are creative, very inventive, and know how to take care of themselves. They are attracted to long-distance travel, especially by water. They may have tense relations with women.

PLUTO in the 21st Mansion shows a person who is open to spirituality but also predisposed to suffering and sacrifice. Even though in youth they will have a tumultuous life filled with sexual excess and all manner of intoxication, maturity will bring wisdom, patience, and understanding. They are predisposed to chronic illnesses, especially in dissonant aspects to the other planets.

LILITH in the 21st Mansion shows a possessive, authoritarian, and even violent person. They are predisposed to sexual excesses, may have multiple partners, and love to explore their hidden sides, but also to manipulate others.

THE NORTH NODE in the 21st Mansion shows that the meaning of life for these natives is attaining wisdom through experience and suffering. Natives must go through all of life’s hardships( financial, moral, and emotional) to gain a strength of spirit and to test their limits.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 21st Mansion shows an entity that in previous lives went through many hardships and its soul was tempered in the service of evolution. Such a person is generally spared the hardships of life, however in the moment when they face them, they do it with serenity and trust, knowing instinctively that they went through similar experiences from which they emerged victorious.

It governs the space between 4º17’11” and 17º08’36” in the sign of Sagittarius. Named Alimain and Abnahaya in the Renaissance tradition, Al-Na’amud or Al-Ras, Al-Thuban by Arabic authors, and Aggia by Coptic Greek astrologers.

Arab astrologers say that this mansion governs domestic animals, livestock, and taming of wild beasts, hunting, purchasing of small animals, and prisons and is unfavorable for marriage, partnerships, or alliances. We can deduce from modern-adapted medieval opinions that this lunar mansion influences animals in general, especially livestock or pets.

Under its sign are vets, tamers, animal trainers, and people who deal with diets and the caretaking of animals, including hunters and dog catchers.

During the time of this domain, some made talismans for different kinds of illnesses and recovery from suffering, but also operations meant to bring forth enmity between people, discord between friends, and bring some people where sorcerors want to.

The Sufi Mystic, Ibn Arabi, says that this mansion corresponds with the sphere of water, or the third heaven of the elements found in the sublunar domain. It is the home of water daemons, elemental sprites known as undines, nereids, or sirens from European folklore, and the maridh jinn or water spirits in Arabic tradition. Its attribute or divine name is “The life giver”, and the Arabic Kaballah, its corresponding letter is Shin, or the sound “S”.

THE SUN in the 20th Mansion indicates a person with a lot of charisma, who during their lifetime will rise to an important social position. They can occupy key places in the internal affairs of a country and can be good diplomats. They have the gift of speaking and know how to make themselves liked by the ones around them, but most importantly, they know how to make themselves irreplaceable.

THE MOON in the 20th Mansion indicates a person whose life will be dominated by women in one way or another. Mothers will be extremely concerned and protective, girlfriends are possessive and jealous, wives are authoritarian and thirsty for control, and daughters, friends or sisters will strive to catch their attention. Beyond the unpleasant personal things caused by women, these natives will enjoy their sympathy and protection during their lives. Through women, they will get where they want to, rarely gaining what they need on their own. These men are adventurous and libertine, while the women are flirtatious and sensual, and free association is the best idea in a couple. Marriages are often the least good arrangement for these people and are fated to estrangement and break up.

MERCURY in the 20th Mansion shows an extremely capable person who is skilled in human communication and psychoanalysis. They are intelligent, articulate, interesting, and also curious, but often too chatty and vain. Because of their gifts, their egos can cause them issues, being not modest enough and not paying attention to the ones around them. They have a writing talent and can make a career out of literature or journalism. They are superficial and tend to be snobs, however they always have an ace up their sleeves and should not be underestimated.

VENUS in the 20th Mansion shows an elegant, well-groomed, and fashionable person with great success in their personal life. Women are very careful with themselves, they are intelligent, charming, and seductive, while men are adventurous, libertines, prolific lovers, and with a dose of romanticism that makes them irresistible. Both men and women are unstable, capricious, and superficial, more likely seeking fun and personal pleasure.

MARS in the 20th Mansion shows a very hostile person who is very concerned with the affairs of their rivals, constantly comparing themselves to them and scheming to expose their weaknesses. They get upset often and quickly, are irascible, childish, and predisposed to bouts of jealousy, possessiveness, and rivalry. They admit to their mistakes with difficulty and consider themselves a bit better than the ones around in almost every domain, becoming aggressive when someone superior jeopardizes their priority.

JUPITER in the 20th Mansion shows a person with very good social status. They have the respect of their communities, are well seen enjoy fame even at a high level, has a diplomatic nature. They are known for their moral qualities, for their work, and seriousness. They may receive inheritances from far-flung female relatives or can benefit especially in the first part of their lives from the protection of a powerful woman.

SATURN in the 20th Mansion shows a person with tense family relations, especially with the older generations. There are disputes related to inheritance, houses, properties, and especially real estate. These natives are withdrawn, a bit antisocial, and get along with very few people. They are capricious, suspicious, and intrigue-focused, thinking and expecting overly complex moves from others who aren’t their enemies. They are more likely feared rather than respected, but even so, they know how to leave a mark where they go, impressing the ones around them.

URANUS in the 20th Mansion indicates a very intelligent, playful, and a bit childish person, but also possessing great tenacity when they desire. They know how to achieve their goals and do it in the most original ways, often crossing the line of illegality and morality, without doing so with intent.

NEPTUNE in this Mansion shows a fluctuant person who doesn’t know steadiness. Their lives are like a continuous rollercoaster, adventure mixes with the mundane, mishaps with times of joy and peace, rest, and rewards come in a rhythmic pattern in step with their actions. They don’t have a stable workplace and try to earn their living with as little work as possible and the most originality. They change life partners often and will also often be forced to change their homes.

PLUTO in the 20th Mansion shows an intelligent, spiritual, inventive but also a capricious and shifty person. They have the gift of persuasion and know how to attract those they need to their side. They are tenacious, determined, and intriguing. They often quarrel with the ones around them, trying later to mend the ruptures in relationships with prudence and hypocrisy rather than honest remorse. When well-aspected, Pluto in this mansion shows a person who will certainly leave a mark on others during their lives through their achievements and revolutionary writings. When badly aspected, we may be dealing with someone dangerous who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals or to get revenge.

LILITH in the 20th Mansion shows a superficial, careless, mean, and duplicitous person. They allow themselves to be dominated by nefarious influences of their own psyches and this can affect people close to them.

They have a fulminant, voracious sexuality that will give way to fidelity with great difficulty. Marriage is an extremely bad idea for these people, them being incapable of remaining faithful to one person. Marriages are often marked by mischievous interests, and hidden plots, and often end in divorce.

THE NORTH NODE in this Mansion shows that the meaning of the native’s life is gaining a position of leadership or a well-seen place among peers in order to exert their leadership and diplomatic qualities in peace. They must learn patience, respect, altruism, and self-sacrifice to get there where they must and to show great moral fiber.

THE SOUTH NODE in this Mansion shows a soul that in previous lives had great control, regardless if they did it out of goodwill or malice. This person had a leadership complex from which they must rid themselves in this life. They must learn to bow to the will of the many, to suffer the influence of greater people of their times and to learn the mechanism of power from the other side.

(Source – Miniature from Zubdat al-Tawarikh (ca. 1580), an Ottoman survey of world history by Seyyid Loqman Ashuri. It shows, from the centre: the ancient planets (the Moon with a mirror; Mercury as a scribe; Venus with a dulcimer; a haloed Sun; Mars as a warrior; Jupiter as a worthy; Saturn as an ascetic), the signs of the Zodiac in a clockwise order, the Moon’s phases in an anti-clockwise order aligned with the Mansions of the Moon.)

It governs the space between 21º25’45” in Scorpio and 4º17’10” in Sagittarius. Named Achala, Allatha, Axala, Azarala, Hycula, and Yenla in the Renaissance tradition, Al-Shaula by Arabic authors, and Karthian by Coptic Greek astrologers.

Arab astrologers say that this mansion governs armies, city sieges, regime changes, hunting, and catching of deserters and runaways, but also the safety of land roads, birth, and menstruation. It’s unfavorable for traveling by water, sailors, freeing of captives, commerce, and partnerships.

We can deduce from modern adapted medieval opinions that this Lunar Mansion influences the army, law enforcment, hunters, hunters, detectives, guardians, border guards, customs workers, drivers, obstetricians, and gynecologists. During the time of this domain, you can make talismans for bringing luck in general for success in the army but also charms meant for destroying ships, other’s property, or freeing prisoners.

The Sufi mystic, Ibn Arabi says that this mansion corresponds with the Sphere of Air, or the second heaven of the elements, which is found in the sublunar realm. It’s the home of the daemons of air, elemental beings such as sylphs, elves, fairies from European folklore, jinn, or other spirits of the wind in the Arabic tradition. Its attribute or divine name is “The Living One”, and in the Arabic Kaballah its corresponding letter is Zay or the sound “Z”.

THE SUN in the 19th Mansion indicates a patient, cunning, and capable person. Always right and with a highly developed common sense and morality.

THE MOON in the 19th Mansion is a difficult aspect, and it can mean misfortune, hardship, indecision, and ruin depending on aspects.

MARS in the 19th Mansion shows a very active native, strong, determined, and well-defined when it comes to personality. This Mansion is governed by Mars, so these natives are in good health, physical shape, and resistance. They are also brave.

SATURN in the 19th Mansion indicates a lonely, self-doubting, and wary type of person.

They must learn through their hardships, and tribulations with which their destinies are fraught and become victorious and wise, fighting all obstacles and displaying their ability to fight and lead. These people have spiritual inclinations, they will be warriors of light, often militating for human rights or even martyrs for causes worth following. They must apply their courage, commitment, and tenacity in making choices, learning even to sacrifice their well-being for the good of others.

THE SOUTH NODE in the 19th Mansion indicates a soul that in other lives focused on fighting and power, crossing their fellow people.

They will need to see their goods sacrificed for the well-being of others and for their own priorities to be sidelined. Their supreme lesson is humility, acceptance, and modesty.
