Al-Sharatain: The First Lunar Station

The First Arabic Manzil or Lunar Station, Al-Sharatain. The Latin Picatrix translation calls this Manzil al-Nath, and Agrippa writes it as Alnath. The image for this Station is of a Black man with hair wrapped and standing erect, holding a spear or lance.

Al-Biruni describes Al-Sharatain or the "Two Signals" as being marked by the two bright stars on the horns of Aries. Due to the reinforcement of Mars' nature in this Station, magical workings here were prescribed for causing separations and hostility between others. Agrippa described Alnath as not only causing discord, but as well as commencing journeys. Often when we embark on a journey there is a separation taking place. In order to go forward, some things must be left behind. Al-Sharatain is associated with beginnings, either in travels or with the initiation of a new life cycle. It brings with it the reiteration that with every beginning comes an ending. Thus this Station was regarded as a good timeframe for undertaking voyages that would ensure safe returns, but not the best time for unions or marriages.

The medieval manuscript Ashmole 396c states that "when the moon is in this mansion, it is good to take medicine, put beasts to pasture, and to begin a journey." It also advises to not marry when the moon is in Al-Sharatain, however it is appropriate for cutting hair and nails. The matters pertaining to the body (taking medicine or starting a healing regimen, cutting hair and nails) are supported by the first lunar station because here the vitality of Aries is strengthening. The Moon here therefore has the potential to transmit vigour and potency needed for breaking patterns of illness or stagnancy.

The liabilities of this Station include an excessive concentration of force which can manifest as hostility internalized or directed outwardly and against us. Caution is advised with personal engagements.
