The Twenty-Sixth Lunar Mansion: ALFARG-ALMUKDIN

Written by Asterion

Translated by Frater Iustin

(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 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.
