Astrological Influence
Al Sa'd al Bula, meaning 'the Good Fortune of the Swallower,' corresponds to mu and nu Aquarii. This mansion causes divorces, grants liberty to captives, and heals the sick. The 'swallower' may refer to the voracious appetite of fortune itself, which consumes old situations to make way for new ones.
The mansion continues the Sa'd series with an emphasis on dissolution and renewal.
In the Arabic Manzil System
The twenty-first manzil continues the Lucky series with a paradoxical combination of divorce and healing. In the Arabic tradition, divorce was not necessarily viewed as a misfortune but could represent a necessary liberation. The mansion's healing quality suggests that the dissolutions it promotes serve a therapeutic purpose.
Lunar Influence
The Moon in Al Sa'd al Bula favors marriage, sowing, taking medicine, and leading an army. This unusually broad range of favorable activities makes it one of the more versatile mansions for electional purposes.
