Astrological Influence
Al Nathrah, meaning 'the Gap' or 'the Crib,' corresponds to the Beehive Cluster (Praesepe) in Cancer. This mansion causes love, friendship, and fellowship among travelers, while also having the peculiar effect of driving away mice and afflicting captives.
The Beehive Cluster's dense congregation of stars gives this mansion a quality of community, nurturing, and the warmth of shared experience.
In the Arabic Manzil System
As the sixth manzil, Al Nathrah occupies the heart of Cancer, the sign of home and family. The Beehive Cluster (Praesepe), visible to the naked eye as a hazy patch, was used by ancient navigators as a weather indicator: when it dimmed, storms were approaching. This association with navigation carries into the mansion's electional guidance.
Lunar Influence
The Moon in Al Nathrah specifically favors navigation and sea travel, setting it apart from many other mansions that counsel against maritime ventures. The community-oriented energy of this mansion makes it a good time for joining with others and seeking companionship on journeys both literal and figurative.
