Al Zubrah

Al Zubrah, meaning 'the Mane,' corresponds to delta and theta Leonis in the Lion's mane. This mansion favors voyages, gain through trade, and the liberation of captives. Its energy supports commerce and movement, particularly when conducted with the confidence and boldness symbolized by the Lion's flowing mane.

The mansion's mercantile associations make it especially relevant for those engaged in trade, business negotiations, and financial ventures.

The ninth manzil continues the leonine sequence with an emphasis on outward-directed energy. Where Al Jabhah (the Forehead) focused on building and protecting, Al Zubrah (the Mane) turns that royal energy toward acquisition and expansion through trade. The redemption of captives theme echoes throughout many Arabic mansions, reflecting the historical context in which these traditions developed.

When the Moon passes through Al Zubrah, it is favorable for planting and entering into marriage but unfavorable for navigation. The commercial energy of this mansion supports material endeavors on land while cautioning against maritime ventures.

With Moon here, plant, marry but do not navigate.

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.
