Al Fargh al Thani
ManzilThe Second or Lower Spout · Arabic Manzil 25
Astrological Influence
Al Fargh al Thani, meaning 'the Second or Lower Spout,' corresponds to gamma Pegasi (Algenib) and its neighbors including alpha Andromedae. This mansion increases harvests, revenues, and gain while healing infirmities. It hinders building and upholds prisons, while causing danger to seamen.
The second spout completes the pouring of the celestial water-bucket, representing the full flow of abundance and the consequences that come with it.
In the Arabic Manzil System
The twenty-fifth manzil completes the water-bucket pair, representing the full outpouring of celestial influence. The mix of beneficial effects (increased harvests, healing) and cautionary notes (danger to seamen, prison reinforcement) reflects the dual nature of abundance: the same flow that nourishes can also overwhelm.
Lunar Influence
The Moon in Al Fargh al Thani favors marriage, taking medicine, and pursuing business, but discourages travel and lending money. The commercial and healing aspects dominate, making this a productive transit for material and health-related concerns.

Reckoning and Sources
This catalog anchors each manzil to its determinant star in Robson's star-based ordering, with positions given in the J2000 frame. Mansion boundaries here follow the stars, so their widths are uneven and they drift with precession.
The daily Moon mansion on your Today page uses the tropical equal reckoning instead: 28 divisions of 12 degrees 51 minutes 26 seconds measured from 0 Aries, the convention of the Indian elections reported by al-Rijal in The Book of the Skilled VII.101, printed pages 61 through 73 in Benjamin Dykes, Choices and Inceptions: Traditional Electional Astrology (Cazimi Press, 2012). The two conventions name different mansions for the same Moon on many days, which is why each surface states which one it is using.
Where that electional branch grades undertakings as favorable, middling, or cautioned, those grades are historical classifications recorded in the source. They report what the tradition wrote about a mansion, and they judge nothing about your day.
