28 Arabic Manzils
The Arabic lunar mansions, or manzils, divide the ecliptic into 28 segments, each governed by a ruling angel and associated with specific electional guidance for when the Moon passes through. This system preserves some of the richest astrological lore of the medieval period, including meteorological predictions, talismanic magic, and practical counsel on which activities to pursue or avoid under each mansion.
