Moon Mansions: The 28 Mansions of the Moon
"And in these twenty eight Mansions do lie hid many secrets of the wisdom of the antients, by the which they wrought wonders on all things which are under the circle of the Moon; and they attributed to every Mansion his resemblances, images, and seals, and his president intelligences, and worked by the virtue of them after different manners." ("The MAGUS or CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER" by Francis Barrett)
The ancient astrologers knew and used in their work aside from the 12 zodiacal signs of the Sun, also 28 mansions of the Moon or lunar mansions.
They represent an ancient wisdom, now very little spread among the astrologers, yet they are of great use both in natal and electional astrology as well as in magical purposes.
These mansions are subdivisions of the zodiac, equal in size, which start at 0º Aries and last 12º51´26´´ each.
The monthly transit of the Moon through each of these mansions generates a different influence as follows:
