Folklore #079 Moon in the signs

The eleventh mansion is the front legs of a bed, and its deity is Bhaga, who hands out good fortune. It is the mansion of rest, pleasure and enjoying the thing.

Its lord is Venus. The tradition treats it as the counterpart to the one that follows: this half is the party, the marriage, the relaxation, and the next half is the contract. Astrologers pick its days for weddings and for anything meant to be enjoyable.

Tradition: Vedic astrology; nakshatra 11, sidereal Leo 13°20'–26°40' · checked Sep 2026
