ManzilThe Luckiest of the Lucky · Arabic Manzil 22
Astrological Influence
Al Sa'd al Su'ud, meaning 'the Luckiest of the Lucky,' corresponds to beta and xi Aquarii (Sadalsuud). This is considered the most fortunate mansion in the Arabic system, giving marital happiness, military victory, and overall prosperity, though it may hinder governmental execution.
As the apex of the Sa'd series, this mansion represents the fullest expression of cosmic good fortune available within the manzil framework.
In the Arabic Manzil System
The twenty-second manzil represents the culmination of the Lucky series. Its determinant star, Sadalsuud (beta Aquarii), literally means 'luckiest of the lucky' in Arabic, and the star name and mansion name are one and the same. This is the single most auspicious point in the entire Arabic mansion system.
Lunar Influence
When the Moon passes through Al Sa'd al Su'ud, it favors building, marriage, making friends, and travel. The breadth of favorable activities and the absence of significant warnings make this the most universally positive mansion transit in the Arabic system.

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.
