Folklore #080 Moon in the signs

The twelfth mansion is the back legs of the same bed, and where the front half was pleasure, this half is the promise you made.

Its deity is Aryaman, keeper of contracts and hospitality, and its lord is the Sun. The pairing is deliberate and runs through the system: several nakshatras come in a Purva and an Uttara, a front and a back, and the second is always the one that has to be honoured in the morning.

Tradition: Vedic astrology; nakshatra 12, sidereal Leo 26°40' to Virgo 10°00' · checked Sep 2026
