About This Mansion
Al-Simak, "The Unarmed," ruled by Venus, creates obstacles for overland journeys while providing favorable winds for sea travel. Also considered beneficial for unions and partnerships. Brilliant Arcturus, the guardian of the bear, represents the unarmed one who watches over peaceful endeavors. The unarmed quality suggests peace through openness rather than force — this mansion blesses those who approach with sincerity rather than strategy.
