About This Mansion
Al-Qalb, "The Heart," ruled by Venus in her darker aspect, stirs up hidden emotions and reveals secret animosities. While challenging, it can be used to expose deception and reveal true intentions. Antares, the rival of Mars and one of the Four Royal Stars, marks the heart of the Scorpion with passionate intensity. The heart of the scorpion does not hide — it burns. Venus here strips away comfortable illusions to show what is truly felt and truly intended.
