The Moon passes through 28 mansions as it circles the ecliptic — each governed by an angel, each carrying distinct magical influences. This system of celestial magic is older than the tropical zodiac itself, transmitted from Arabic astrologers through Agrippa and Barrett’s Magus to modern ceremonial practice.
Mansions of the Moon calculates the Moon’s ecliptic longitude and tells you which mansion it currently occupies, which angel governs it, and what influences are in play — tonight and every night.
“...the Moon measures the whole space of the Zodiac in the time of twenty-eight days, hence it is that the wise men of the Indians, and most of the antient astrologers have granted twenty-eight mansions to the Moon...”
— Barrett, The Magus, Ch. XXXIII (1801)

The Sources
The mansion names, angel attributions, and traditional effects are drawn from Francis Barrett’s The Magus (1801), transmitting the system from Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy (1531), which in turn draws from the Arabic Picatrix (c. 1000 CE). All source material is public domain.
