Lunar Mansion Descriptions
The Lunar mansion feature prominently in some of the earliest forms of astrology. The ancient Chinese, Arabian, Middle Eastern and Egyptians all gave the Moon and its travels through the heavens special prominence in their study of astrology. By dividing the course of the Moon in 28 Lunar Mansions we are able to discern subtle and very useful energies that can support our path in this life time. The Moon moves through each Lunar Mansion at approximately one Mansion, or 12 degrees 51 minutes per day.
By combing the energies of the current Lunar phase with the 12 signs of the Zodiac, the 12 Goddess', the four elements and the 12 houses the Lunar Mansions can help us zero in on the power of the cycles of life on this planet.
Mansion 1: Volcano
Ancient Name: Almach / The Horn of Aries
Influenced by: Mars and the Sun
Like a volcano about to explode or a runner coiled up in the starting blocks waiting for the sound of the starters pistol. The runner allows her energy to build and her focus to sharpen for that one explosive moment of release. The Raw primal energy of Mars combines with heat of the Sun in a creative pressure cooker waiting for a release of nuclear proportions. Release of this energy in an inspired or creative manner will avoid any potential "meltdown".
Mansion 2: Musician
Ancient Name: Albothaim / The belly of Aries
Influenced by: the Sun and Jupiter
The bright light of Sun strengthens your creative drive and when combined with the powerful expansive energy of Jupiter there will be no stopping you. The canvas will seem to paint itself or your fingers easily master those piano sonatas. Your creative energies and power of the Divine or in complete harmony. If you have the courage to reach for that brass ring, more than likely it will be there waiting for you.
Mansion: Palace
Ancient Name: Ascorija / The Showering
Influenced by: Jupiter and Venus
The power of Jupiter and its expansiveness here combines with passion of earthly pleasures of Venus. Choose to take pleasure in living the good life as you define it, especially in more earthy or material pursuits and you will have a great and memorable time. With Jupiter’s tendency to increase the power of all that you do if you push the pleasure machine to far too much may turn out to be just that. TOO MUCH!
Mansion 4: Stone
Ancient Name: Alderbarab / The Eye of Head of Taurus
Influenced by: Mercury and Saturn
Here we have quickness combined with slower more rule oriented energy. This can create a focus on the tried and true or the attitude "This is the way it has always been done".

In this case tradition will probably rule the day.
Mansion 5: Wheel

Influenced by: Saturn and Mercury
Are you in the inner circle? Can you get an invitation? You may well want to at this time. This is a mansion of networking and connecting with others.

Mansion 6: Bridge
Ancient Name: The little star of the Great Light
Influenced by: Mercury and Venus
More than just connecting with others you will want to build consensus. Try looking beyond the more obvious differences and seek a more unifying connection. By seeking to walk in the shoes of another you may wish to freely offer your own shoes for others to walk in as well. Honoring differences will build diversity which will lead to powerful new ideas that spring from the energy that union creates. This embracing quality of the higher mind can be the bridge between all that divides us.
Mansion 7: Visitor
Ancient Name: Aldyaras / The Arm of Gemini
Influenced by: Venus and Uranus
Expect the unusual or out of the ordinary occurrences. Think and look for the synchronicity happening all around you. New people will come into your life and offer love or support at the most odd and perhaps weird moments. The people themselves might feel foreign almost alien to you. Maybe even an old rival will be there to help you just in the "nick" of time. Look to your energies of compassion to compensate if you have a tendency towards snap judgments.
Mansion 8: Knight
Ancient Name: Amathura / Clouded or Mist Filled
Influenced by: The Moon and Pluto
The trumpet sounds as the people begin to call for their champion. Hello? Knock-Knock! That champion is you! Do you remember?

Mansion 9: Pitcher
Ancient name: Atars / Eye of the Lion)
Influenced by: Pluto and Neptune
Two shots of the free flowing emotions of the water sign of Cancer, shaken together with a jigger of the intuition and imagination of Neptune, squeeze in a generous amount the idealism of Uranus, warm over low heat and serve. This is truly a strange brew. Your ability to sense the feelings and thoughts of others and provide accurate and spontaneous solutions for them may cause them to ask "What have you been drinking?". Don't let that stop you. Others will be healed by your insight.
Mansion 10: Fountain
Ancient Name: Algelba / The neck of Forehead of Leo
Influenced by: Neptune and the Sun
The drive to create combines with expanded capacity towards imagination and visions. The gift here is the opportunity to make what you see and discover in your inner visions into a Divine creative expression, to be joyfully shared with others, in this physical world. This ability will be so profound that others may instantly see it in you. The challenge is to allow yourself the freedom and grace to see it in yourself. Seeing yourself in this way will cause a great river of creativity to flow outward from its source. You will have become this source of inspiration and creativity.
Mansion 11: Fortuna
Ancient Name: Azorbe / The Hair of the Lion’s Head
Influenced by: The Sun and Jupiter
The bright and intense creative power of the Sun is further expanded by the presence of Jupiter. This can be a time of great material success. Asking for a raise or making a positive move in your investments will have extra support. Perhaps that book or painting you have just finished will find a generous publisher or buyer. The cosmic dice will roll in your favor and they will be $ - $, double dollar signs.
Mansion 12: The Fall
Ancient Name: Alzarfa / The Tail of Leo
Influenced by: Mars and Mercury
Care to go 100 mph with your hair on fire? Extremely quick thinking joins forces with raw impulsive power. Your mind will race and your heart will pound and you will, . . ? This moon is asking you to think clearly and act with power and wisdom. By hanging onto the tail of the lion you will quickly be taken where you wish to go.

Mansion 13: Altar
Ancient Name: Alalma / The Dog Stars, The Wings of Virgo
Influenced by: Mercury and Saturn
Sometimes following the conventional wisdom is the best course of action.

The ideas or recommendations of elders, especially bosses, of what you should be doing will have an uncanny ring of truth in them.

Taking time alone to think through what you really want, making concrete plans and developing the inner strength to put those plans into action will serve your long term desire for success and the recognition that comes with it.

Mansion 15: Bouquet
Ancient Name: Algalia – The Lid or Cover
Influenced by Venus and Uranus
Unexpected passion is knocking on your door.

The power, passion and unexpected nature of the experience could knock you off balance or send you in a direction that in the end may not be as beneficial as it seemed at the start. Stay centered and breathe. Enjoy the passion as it moves through you. But use your inner wisdom to determine if any new direction in your life is in keeping with soul’s path in this life.
Mansion 16: Door
Ancient Name: Alcibene – The Claws of Scorpio
Influenced by Uranus and Mercury
Vanilla or Chocolate pistachio mousse? Choose now! A new way is opening up for you. Rich with potential but unexpected and unexplored territories also involve risk.

(Chocolate pistachio mousse) Its potential is so clear you can almost taste it can’t you?

Be sure to bring your spoon and plenty of napkins when you step through this door.

Influenced by Mercury and Pluto
Judgments will be swift and powerful here. Your thinking will be crystal clear, your keen insight will have explosive power and your words will slash through confusion like Excalibur.

The abruptness and power may cause others to feel afraid of you rather than rally to the obvious righteousness of your cause.
Mansion 18: Sacrifice
Ancient Name: Alchalb – The Heart of Scorpio
Influenced by: Pluto and Neptune
How important is your goal? How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to be successful? The opportunity presented to you at this time indicates that a willingness to be ruthless in your honesty with your self combine with total surrender in pursuit of your goal will bring you the results you seek. Playing the martyr here will not be the level of selfless surrender the situation calls for. An attitude of genuineness and honesty will serve you better here that putting on a show.
Mansion 19: Two Paths
Ancient Name: Axala – The Tail of Scorpio
Influenced by The Moon and Jupiter
Two similar paths lead towards the horizon and you must choose between them. At the moment they both seem quite similar but your gut tells you that they lead to very different ends. Here the Moon in Jupiter will enhance your intuition and foresight. Perhaps a vision quest is in order here. Try visualizing the eventual outcomes of these two paths will give you a sense of surety now. One you have decided, be bold in moving towards whichever direction you choose.
Mansion 20: Precipice
Ancient Name: Abanahaya – A Beam
Influenced by Jupiter and Mars
Confidence abounds here combined with a drive to impulsive action. New and unfamiliar directions in your life will have extra power and influence at this time. In all likelihood you feel an unusual sense of “I know exactly what I am doing” here even though to others it will appear that you don’t have a clue as to what is going on. You will be convinced you are acting with the wisdom of a sage and the power of a great warrior when in fact your actions will prove to neither of these qualities. Be wise enough to know here that you don’t know. Seek guidance form those elders you trust.
Mansion 21: Duel
Ancient Name: Albelda / The Desert
Influenced by Mars and the Sun
The Power and energy of Mars (The younger) asserts itself against the power and energy of the Sun (The Elder). Time to stand up for your self in the midst of elders, old perhaps out-dated ideas or outmoded traditions. You would be wise to remember the old adage: “Old ways die hard”. Your new ideas or methods may seem the obvious choice to you, but bosses and elders are likely to feel challenged to the point of seeing you as an aggressor, even a usurper. You will feel the “heat” if you choose to stand your ground.
Mansion 22: Wedding
Ancient Name: Caaldalbala / A Pastor
Influenced by Saturn and Venus
Observing traditional ways and practices that served our elders so well will serve you at this time too. There is a time to act “outside of the box” and this is not this time. When we show reverence for time honored traditions or social conventions we can do a lot towards healing the past and make the transition to new ideas smoother and less challenging. Our elders and their ways of doing things deserve our respect for getting us to the place where we now stand. This healing is necessary before we can move and create in a new way.
Mansion 23: Confession
Ancient Name: Caaldelbolab / Swallowing
Influenced by: Venus and Mercury
Secrets could be revealed here that may be challenging. This is a time to when you may feel inclined to reveal your deepest secrets to another with a listening heart and a soft shoulder. You may reveal questions you have that are of a deep emotional nature and if you’re not careful these words mat slip out in front of virtual strangers. (Water coolers will sprout “ears” at this time) If you feel the need to have a “heart to heart” have the patience to do it only in the presence of those who genuinely have your best interests at heart. Otherwise, your secrets may make you “famous”.
Mansion 24: Mask
Ancient Name: Caadachot – The Wretched of the Wretched
Influenced by: Mercury and Uranus
That which is superficial often hides a deeper truth. Sometimes our fears cause us to try and hide and protect what most needs to see the light of day. Our divine self is always more beautiful than anything we can contrive to cover it up with. What does the look of the mask we may choose to wear at this time reveal about where we need to grow? What do the masks of others tell us about where they want to be healed? With compassion we can look deeper, beyond any mask or protective covering without doing harm to others or ourselves.
Mansion 25: Rebel
Ancient Name: Caalda / Butterfly
Influenced by: Uranus and Mercury
Thinking outside of the box is one thing, but can you live there? Are you willing to smash all conventional ideas and modes of expression? The genius of this time will inspire you to new heights of inspiration and creative expression. Those around you may appear to be “upside down” in their old ways.

Mansion 27: Guru
Ancient Name: Algarfermuth / The Second Drawing of the Water
Influenced by: Neptune and the Moon
Whew! Time for a “time out”. Not punishment for being bad but rather a time for reflection and contemplation.

See what energies and ideas spring to life in this most fertile of grounds. You imagination can soar with newfound wings if you will just allow it. Ideas and projects that are born of this quiet time will have an inventive and uniquely successful energy to them.
Mansion 28: Sleeper
Ancient Name: Anaxhe / The Belly of the Fish
Influenced by: The Moon and Pluto
This time represents the end of a great cycle. It is a time of dormancy and inactivity. Above all else it is a time for rest. Take the time to turn off the TV and telephone. (Yes cell phones, pagers and Blackberrys) Draw a bath, make your favorite tea and sleep. Allow yourself to dream. No rules, no restrictions, no directions a complete freefall into all things that your life could be. Or perhaps, should be? Sleep. You are safe. Dream freely your self into the approaching newness.

The plant absorbs energy, grows stronger and the first leaves appear.
This is a time to throw ourselves into the management of the projects we have recently created. It is time to create structure and a useful framework in order for our projects to succeed. This is the time to make dreams into reality.

The plant now is able to fully receive the energy of both the Sun and the earth and the first buds begin to grow.
This the time to fine tune our projects or ourselves to more closely resemble our goals and higher aspirations in life. We have the energy and drive now to fulfill our dreams.

The buds in the fullness of the Sunlight become flowers.
The full Moon represents a time of completion. Our project reaches its zenith and we and it are well received. We are rewarded for our efforts and are recognized by others for our accomplishments. Everything, especially our inner light and power, are seen more clearly by us and others.

The leaves and remaining blossoms fall to the ground leaving only the seed pods to dry in the Sun.
Now is a time to integrate into our daily activities all that we have been striving for. Here is when we can refine and strengthen our practices or projects. Consistent work through this time will form the beginning of lasting habits.

Here is where our emotions and our insight to ourselves or projects have extra support. We are able to see the far reaching aspects of ourselves and have sense of the future.

The Earth receives the seeds which lie dormant for a time awaiting the next growth cycle.
A time for stillness. A time to allow our racing minds to find rest. This is an opportunity to reign in our emotions, and to slow down the pace of our life. It is a time for allowing dreams the freedom to appear and disappear. Through non-movement and cultivation of no-thing-ness we allow the next cycle to come of its own accord.

General moon Phase Descriptions
The phases of the moon can be likened to the growth of plants and are useful metaphors for understanding the natural cycles of our life.
1. Crescent Moon:
The appearance of tiny shoots just as they are breaking through the earth.
During this Moon phase we feel the desire to express ourselves in new or creative ways or to create new projects that reflect how we are feeling on an intuitive level. Ignoring this natural drive to create something new can cause us to feel overwhelmed by life.
2. First Quarter Moon:
The plant absorbs energy, grows stronger and the first leaves appear.
This is a time to throw ourselves into the management of the projects we have recently created. It is time to create structure and a useful framework in order for our projects to succeed. This is the time to make dreams into reality.
3. Gibbous Moon:
The plant now is able to fully receive the energy of both the Sun and the earth and the first buds begin to grow.
This the time to fine tune our projects or ourselves to more closely resemble our goals and higher aspirations in life. We have the energy and drive now to fulfill our dreams.
4. Full Moon:
The buds in the fullness of the Sunlight become flowers.
The full Moon represents a time of completion. Our project reaches its zenith and we and it are well received. We are rewarded for our efforts and are recognized by others for our accomplishments. Everything, especially our inner light and power, are seen more clearly by us and others.
5. Dissemination Moon:
The flowers lose their petals and are transformed into fruit.
Here is the time our project is put into practical use. We are able now to fully utilize all that we have learned and experienced. Our results are real and tangible. Life is sweet.
6. Last Quarter Moon:
The leaves and remaining blossoms fall to the ground leaving only the seed pods to dry in the Sun.
Now is a time to integrate into our daily activities all that we have been striving for. Here is when we can refine and strengthen our practices or projects. Consistent work through this time will form the beginning of lasting habits.
7. Balsamic Moon:
The seed pods now burst open and the seeds float away in the wind.
Here is where our emotions and our insight to ourselves or projects have extra support. We are able to see the far reaching aspects of ourselves and have sense of the future.
8. Black Moon:
The Earth receives the seeds which lie dormant for a time awaiting the next growth cycle.
A time for stillness. A time to allow our racing minds to find rest. This is an opportunity to reign in our emotions, and to slow down the pace of our life. It is a time for allowing dreams the freedom to appear and disappear. Through non-movement and cultivation of no-thing-ness we allow the next cycle to come of its own accord.

Goddess Descriptions

Just as the river does not stop until it reaches the sea be prepared to persevere. Stay focused on your goal. If you need help don't hesitate to ask. Use your inner wisdom to carefuly choose those that would help you. Your major project will likely require much of your attention in order to bring it to a successful conclusion and you may wish to delegate or postpone other projects with lower priorities.
Artemis: Aries / Fire
There is lots of energy here. A drive for bold and creative solutions combined with the keen eyes of the experienced archer whose arrows never fail to hit their mark. Explore being the powerful huntress ready to seize the moment should your prey come into view. Invest your energy in expressing your more sophisticated side when it comes to your dealings with people and projects. Let your power guide you to higher and more creative solutions as opposed to rash or judgmental actions.
Venus: Taurus / Earth
Love, passion and earthly delights are all here and available to you now. You will be receptive to this energy and influenced by its alluring power. The control of this passionate power will also be at you fingertips. Do you allow your heart strings to be played or do you choose to make music with the hearts of others? This is a time to enjoy the good things in life and use your love in creative ways. Take your time here to really enjoy those special moments that may just magically appear. Passion knows no limits here, but push it too far and there may be a price to pay. Make sure you have the cash to pay should you over indulge.
Athene: Gemini / Air
Just like Athene who was born fully formed, wearing armor and ready for battle as she sprang forth from the forehead of Zeus you can expect that new and wildly creative ideas will be a normal occurrence at this time. In fact, your ideas will likely "spring" to life at almost any moment. They will have energy, drive and will be unusually detailed, well formed and complete. The level of creativity and "outside the box" nature of your ideas may perplex and startle others. You can ease this by using this energy in helpful and supportive ways that benefit others. You will find great inner satisfaction when your ideas and actions become a from of service to something larger than yourself.
Hera: Cancer / Water
You are in a powerful position to exercise your maturity, wisdom and patience. Allow your more nurturing side to express the energies of the compassionate caregiver and whatever you are working on will seem to quickly grow of its own accord. Choose to meddle too much and this growth will stall. Now is a time when you can grow your understanding that all the people and things in your life are a part of your family.
Isis: Leo / Fire
Isis fulfilled the role of wife and partner to Osiris when he ruled Egypt. She was also equally gifted at ruling Egypt when Osiris was away. You are called here to bring forth the mastery of developing both your active and receptive natures. Sitting on your throne of balance you will succeed when you wisely choose which of your divine natures to express in any given moment. Be forthright in your actions towards others and yourself. Be prepared to lead the team when you are called to do so.
Demeter: Virgo / Earth
Life is constantly changing. At times, even the things in our life that we value the most will reach maturity, begin to fade and eventually disappear. This is the great cycle of life and it is proper that the old make way for the new. It is possible that what has left your life at this time will return to be reborn into something different that is useful to you on your path in this life. You may have a tendency to be vulnerable at this time and it is important that you be clear about what you wish to see happen. Cultivate wisdom and discernment in your dealings with others and be sure you know what is the motivation behind what is being offered to you.
Gaia: Libra / Air
There is an ancient and universal power at work here. Life sustains itself through constant regeneration and the harmonies of both Yin and Yang working in concert together. Though sometimes nature is extreme in its in expression, all things are brought into balance through this most universal of forces. To preserve that which is important to you balance is required. Weigh your options carefully. If you perceive a great imbalance has occurred try looking to our Earth Mother, Gaia, as a role model. Don't be afraid to whip up a storm or two if that is what is truly required.
Lilith: Scorpio / Water
Don't judge a book by its cover and don't believe everything you hear about others. Lilith, the Goddess with perhaps the ultimate bad reputation can bring insight and wisdom to your situation. While demonized by many, she also represents someone who is willing to stand confidant in their own power. Unwilling to be treated as second class she insisted on being treated as an equal. This is a time for radical change and you are its herald. A general cleansing is in order to make room for new life. Others may try to write you off as being unimportant or even attempt to "demonize" you because of the passion you bring to your beliefs, as they resist the change you represent. Don't be afraid to stand your ground.
Kali: Sagittarius / Fire
Sometimes, in order to change, our lives need a little push. In Kali's case this can seem more like an earthquake. Nature, at her most furious, is sometimes quite destructive in her role as both preserver and protector of the great balance of life. Your challenges at this time will require you to be not only focused clearly on your goals but have a willingness to bring great energy into areas where you meet resistance. Expect that what is now blocking your path will be both cunning and even forceful. Acting powerfully from your deepest inner truth will ensure your success. When the storm is over it will be time to celebrate in a big way. Unlike Kali, however, don't let your dance of joy go too far!
Hecate: Capricorn / Earth
Which way do you look? Past? Present? Future? Do you take the high road, the low road or do you just stay put? This is a time of reviewing your goals and aspirations. You will be best served when you make clear decisions about what are your priorities. Try taking a serious look at what is serving you and that which is not. Don't be afraid to let go of all that no longer serves you and, once and for all, wash your hands of it. Let it go and don't look back. A deep cleansing ritual is in order here.
Freya: Aquarius / Air
What price are you willing to pay to get what you want? What you want may seem very precious. Even irresistible. Is it worth surrendering yourself to those who would only seek to take advantage of you? I should think not! This is not a time to be influenced by bright and shiny things. Look to your deepest heart and determine what is really important to you. Use your quick mind and your wild, passionate, creative strengths to bring into your life that which is of true and lasting value.
Ishtar: Pisces / Water
Just as water is able to flow swiftly around obstacles, you too, will want to remain fluid in your thinking and actions. Stay in the flow. Just as the river does not stop until it reaches the sea be prepared to persevere. Stay focused on your goal. If you need help don't hesitate to ask.
