 Mansions of the Moon: Streetwise Edition

Ancient cultures? Yeah—they always looked up when they wanted to know what time it was. Like, the Sun’s path through the zodiac shows how the year’s movin’. But the Moon? She’s got her own thing—one wild ride across the sky every month. And that ride? It’s split into 28 stops, called the Lunar Mansions.

These moon spots? They pop up in all kinds of old-world systems: Arabic, Indian, Chinese—you name it. They tracked where the Moon was each night, kinda like where she’s crashing till the next shift. Take her average speed—about 12 degrees, 51 minutes—and divide the whole zodiac circle by that? Boom—28 cozy stops.

The Arabic term? Manzil (منازل)—means a ‘house’ or ‘resting place.’ Like, “Hey Moon, here’s your Airbnb for the night.” The Chinese called 'em Er shi ba xiu (二十八宿)—where ‘xiu’ straight-up means a lodge or a place to crash.

Now, these weren’t just pretty star motels. These joints had magical juice. Each had its own powers, moods, talismans, spirits, even incense blends (called suffumigations). Kinda like the Egyptian decans but lunar-style. Magicians, astrologers, even priests—they’d time stuff by which mansion the Moon was in.
