About This Mansion
Al-Dhira, "The Arm," corresponds to the bright twin stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini, representing mutual support and cooperation. Ruled by Venus in her most collaborative aspect, this mansion embodies the divine principle of reciprocal aid. The twin stars were seen as the perfect model of beneficial partnership — two lights of equal dignity, each strengthening the other. This mansion blesses agreements, contracts, and alliances entered in good faith.
