About This Mansion
The first mansion marks the beginning of the lunar zodiac, corresponding to the Horns of Aries constellation. Ruled by Mars, it embodies the raw, pioneering energy of spring's first stirrings. This mansion represents the fundamental polarity of initiation and is favorable for beginnings, journeys, and new ventures. The twin stars Hamal and Sheratan form the two signs that gave this mansion its name, marking the gateway through which the lunar cycle begins anew.
