This is an entry in a continuing series of posts looking at the Moon's position and condition in the week ahead with an eye to the Mansions of the Moon. This is an exercise to help me track the speed of the Moon, organize my thoughts on the Mansions, and think about the practical applications.
All times are for me locally, United States Pacific Time. I will be making note of the Moon's phase, speed, and Mansion position in my assessment. Currently, I'm not considering aspects with other planets.
Lunar Mansion Report, November 24, 2025 to November 30, 2025.
Monday, November 24th, 2025. The Moon is in Zaadebola, the Lucky Star of the Devourers, When November 24th begins. At 5:51pm the Moon moves into the next Mansion, Caadezod, the Lucky Star of the Lucky. The phase is Waxing Crescent, which supports works of opening and beginning.
The Moon will travel through Caadezod for 25 hours. This is slow and it is 21 minutes less than the previous Mansion so the Moon is speeding up. A slow Moon can delay the effects of magic but may also make those effects longer lasting.
The beneficial qualities of the Zaadebola include recovery from disease (Gayat al Hakim), join friends together (Latin Picatrix), liberty of captives (Agrippa), and evil's antidote (Shams al Marif).
The image for Zaadebola in the Latin Picatrix is a cat with a dog’s head. The head and the body are at odds, each wanting to do violence to the other. Ultimately, neither is left the winner. Pitting a group against its leaders for the purpose of destroying the entire group would be a wrathful work that is strengthened in this Mansion.
The beneficial powers of Caadezod are improvement of cattle and herds (Ibn Hatim, Agrippa, and Latin Picatrix), increase merchandise and make a profit (Latin Picatrix), and victories to armies (Gayat al Hakim).
The image in the Latin Picatrix is a woman breastfeeding a child. In most sources this Mansion is very beneficial. I associate this Mansion image with Amalthea, the nymph who hid and nursed baby Zeus until he was grown and strong enough to confront Saturn. This would suggest to me that keeping plans, projects, or conspiracies hidden from their intended target is accentuated when the Moon is in this Mansion.
The Moon is in Caadezod at the end of November 24th.
Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. The Moon is in Caadezod, the Lucky Star of the Lucky, when November 25th begins. At 6:51pm the Moon moves into the next Mansion, Zaadalahbia, the Lucky Star of Hidden Things. The phase is Waxing Crescent, which supports works of birth and renewal.
The Moon will travel through Zaadelahbia for 24 hours and 30 minutes. This is slow but it is 30 minutes less than the previous Mansion so the Moon is speeding up. A slow Moon may make magic take longer to manifest but may also prolong those effects.

The beneficial qualities of Zaadalahbia include protection from blights and calamities from heaven (Ibn Hatim), dispatching successful messengers and spies and establishing and stabilizing buildings (Gayat al Hakim), protection of orchards and crops (Latin Picatrix), house protection (Celestial Magic), and companionship, love, and being kind (Shams al Marif).
The image in the Latin Picatrix for this Mansion is a man planting a tree and spreading seeds. Things developing under the surface are empowered in Zaadalahbia. In its wrathful form keeping things from growing or developing is strengthened.
The beneficial powers of Al Fargh al Awwal include love and lust (Ibn Hatim); all sorts of good things, restoring love and friendship, fulfilling the wishes of travelers, stabilizing buildings (Gayat al Hakim); bind people in mutual love, protect travelers in wagons, strengthen buildings (Latin Picatrix); and creating loving relationships, increasing libido, and cheering up souls with friendships (Shams al Marif).
The Moon is in Al Fargh al Awwal at the end of November 26th.
Thursday, November 27th, 2025. The Moon is in Al Fargh al Awwal, the Upper Waterspout, when November 27th begins. At 7:17pm the Moon moves into the next Mansion, Al Fargh al Thani, the Lower Waterspout. The phase at the beginning of day is Waxing Crescent, which supports works of revelation and enlightenment, but at 10:59pm the Moon makes a square aspect with the Sun and the phase changes to Waxing Gibbous, which supports works of deepening and strengthening.
The Moon will travel through Al Fargh al Thani for 23 hours and 15 minutes. This is on the fast side of average and it is 41 minutes lass than the previous Mansion so the Moon is accelerating. A fast Moon Amy make magic happen quickly but may also make magic fade quickly.

The image in the Latin Picatrix for this Mansion is a woman washing her hair in a basin. This is an image of spiritual cleansing as Al Fargh al Awwal controls the subtle and lustral waters, the holy and blessed waters.
The beneficial effects of Al Fargh al Thani are to increase merchandise and profit, unite allies, increase harvests, and heal illness (Gayat al Hakim, Latin Picatrix, and Agrippa).
The image in the Latin Picatrix is a man with wings holding a vessel. Al Fargh al Thani is the Lower Waterspout and represents the waters of physical healing. These are the vivifying waters of life. In Nigel Jackson's Celestial Magic, he suggests Al Fargh al Thani is powerful for operations of prophecy and foreknowledge.

Friday, November 28th, 2025. The Moon is in Al Fargh al Thani, the Lower Waterspout, at the opening of November 28th. At 6:32pm the Moon moves into the next Mansion, Arrexhe, the Rope. The phase is Waxing Gibbous, which supports works of addition and multiplication.
The Moon will travel through Arrexhe for 22 hours and 35 minutes. This is fast and it is 40 minutes less than the previous Mansion so the Moon is speeding up. A fast Moon can make magic happen quickly but may also make it fade quickly.

The beneficial powers of Arrexhe include successful trade, productive crops, treatment of disease, traveler's safety, restoring relationships between spouses (Gayat al Hakim), increase harvests, travel safely, to gather fish in one place (Latin Picatrix), and create superior works and acts with excellent outcome (Shams al Marif).

The beneficial powers of Alnath include guarding against demolition and crushing (Ibn Hatim), travel safely, and improve the efficacy of laxative medicines (Gayat al Hakim, Latin Picatrix, and Agrippa).
The image in the Latin Picatrix for Alnath is a a black man with his hair wrapped and encircled, standing on his feet, having a spear in his right hand in the manner of a warrior. Alnath is a rather grim Mansion in which works of destruction are empowered.
The Moon is in Alnath at the end of November 29th.
Sunday, November 30th, 2025. The Moon is in Alnath, the Butting One, when November 30th begins. At 2:59pm the Moon moves into the next Mansion, Albotayn, the Little Belly. The phase is Waxing Gibbous which is best for works of abundance and augmentation.
The Moon will travel through Albotayn for 21 hours and 14 minutes. This is fast and it is 38 minutes less than the previous Mansion so the Moon is speeding up. A fast Moon can make magic happen more quickly but may also make magic dissipate quickly.

The beneficial powers of Albotayn are assistance in digging wells, achieving wishes, and digging out buried treasure (Gayat al Hakim), meeting kings and getting everything you hope for (Ibn Hatim), dig for streams and wells, to find hidden treasures, and for the planting of a great deal of wheat, the removal of anger (Latin Picatrix), against the wrath of a prince (Agrippa), and to conjure spirits to reveal hidden treasure (Celestial Magic).
The image in the Latin Picatrix for Albotayn is a king on a throne. The approximate Chinese Seiu that corresponds to Albotayn is The Storeroom. Combined with the talismanic purposes of digging wells and finding hidden treasure, in my mind, the king is an underworld figure, a king in his sepulcher, surrounded by his riches.
The Moon is in Albotayn at the end of November 30th.
