Folklore #093 Moon in the signs

The twenty-fourth mansion means 'a hundred physicians', or 'a hundred stars', and its symbol is an empty circle.

Its deity is Varuna, who governs oaths and the waters, and its lord is Rahu. Tradition gives it healing, secrecy and research — the diagnosis that takes a hundred attempts. The empty circle is read as the thing enclosed and hidden, and it is the mansion most associated with people who work alone.
