Mansions of the Moon
Each month the Moon crosses twenty-eight stations. Every station carries a specific quality of current. Each current favours certain actions and resists others. This calculator helps you match your action to the mansion.
Al-Simak
The UnarmedSafe passage. Love that holds through what is not easy.
Best used for. Tending a relationship in a hard passage of strain, illness, or outside pressure. The repair that can only be done between two people rather than inside one. Crossing a difficult professional, legal or health period. Ending a connection that has genuinely completed.
Not the moment for. Holding what has begun to circle rather than move. The distinction is uncomfortable and this station makes it visible.
The reckoning. Twenty eight equal stations of 12° 51′ 26″, measured from 0° tropical Aries. The division as Agrippa and the Picatrix set it down, and the one the Moon Mansions book uses throughout. Every page on this site reads the same way.
One sky, one answer. The Moon stands in the same station for everyone on Earth at the same instant. Your location does not change which mansion it is, only what the clock says when it begins and ends. Set your time zone above and the times are yours.
Twenty-eight stations, twenty-eight powers
The Moon spends a little over a day in each.
