Heart Astrology

The opaque and mysterious lunar mansions.

This is an archetypal breakdown of the 28 mansions according to the tropical zodiac, this definition comes from Agrippa, the great medieval occultist. This table shows the benefits of making the appropriate lunar talisman at the appropriate time. I found this in my drafts for the Heartastrology blog and apparently wrote it in 2010 but never published it. So, I have no idea if I inputed it myself or where I picked it up from. I probably inputed it myself, as there were a lot of grammatical errors in it, which I have tried to correct. If I lifted it from a site and you know which site it is, please dm me on Twitter or email me so I can give credit where credit is due.

I find the 28 Lunar Mansions to still be opaque at best, and extremely esoteric at the worst. I do not find many compelling explanations for them or how to work with them, other than talismanic fantasies. I am posting these as a reference for my own contemplations as well as others still trying to crack the code which reveals them as more than the muse of sorcery or a navigational instrument for crossing desert sands.
