Al Dhira

Al Dhira, meaning 'the Forearm,' corresponds to the bright twin stars Castor and Pollux. This mansion favors gain, friendship, and lovers, while simultaneously working to destroy unjust authority. The dual nature of its determinant stars, one mortal and one divine in mythology, gives this mansion a quality of bridging opposites.

Al Dhira supports social connections and material acquisition, making it one of the more beneficial mansions for everyday concerns.

The fifth manzil takes its character from the Twins of Gemini, whose mythological bond of brotherhood informs the mansion's emphasis on friendship and partnership. The destruction of unjust magistracies attributed to this mansion reflects the Twins' role as protectors of travelers and enforcers of fair dealing in Greek tradition.

When the Moon passes through Al Dhira, it is an excellent time for travel and for taking medicine. The social, connective quality of this mansion makes it favorable for building relationships and seeking beneficial alliances.

With Moon here, travel and take medicine.
