About This Mansion
Al-Tarf, "The Glance," corresponds to the bright star Regulus in Leo, the "Heart of the Lion" and one of the four Royal Stars. Ruled by Mercury in his most contemplative aspect, this mansion embodies the power of careful observation and patient assessment. The "glance" represents the thoughtful pause before action — the wisdom to observe and proceed with full awareness. Regulus' position at the lion's eye lends this mansion a penetrating clarity that sees through illusion to essential truth.
