In the Neoplatonic/Hermetic worldview the heavenly bodies were the essential link between the World of the Divine Ideas and the Material World. The astrologer uses these these sympathies and interconnections for the predictions using natal, mundane and horary astrology.
These types of traditional astrology focus on Fate: asking what will or has happened? Even electional astrology which allows us to choose astrologically propitious time to take action, like the other varieties of astrology, is essentially passive as the astrologer merely observes the action of the Divine ideas mediated through the Zodiacal powers on the material and sublunary realm.
A strological magic, however, through the construction of astrological talismans allows the mage or magical astrologer to directly affect and utilize the chains of sympathy and correspondence that permeate the Cosmos. By choosing an astrologically propitious times through electional astrology and constructing talismans with appropriate characters, signs, and symbols as well as appropriate fumigations, rituals and music, a wide variety of effects can be achieved.
For those that desire to delve deeper into Astrology and Magic I offer an Astrological Magic Full Course which teaches students the theory and practice of the Renaissance astrological magic of Cornelius Agrippa and Marsilio Ficino as well as a Mansions of the Moon Mini-Course which focuses specifically on producing lunar mansions talismans. Please e-mail me if you have further questions regarding astrological magic or the web courses.

The Mansions of the Moon are an ancient 28 fold division of the path of the Moon. The mansions are often considered to be a lunar Zodiac as they measure the daily progress of the Moon against particular fixed stars. Many of the Mansions are named after the fixed stars that indicate their boundaries. Because they are measured against the fixed stars the mansions differ from the phases of the Moon whose waxing and waning shows the relationship of the Sun and the Moon.
Originally the boundaries of the Mansions were sidereal (set by the fixed stars) and irregular, but at some point they became regularized and measured by a 1/28th of the 360 degree circle of the Zodiac. These reqularized mansions are called the tropical mansions. Here is a list of the Mansions and their sidereal and tropical boundaries.
The Mansions are an important part of astrological magic. The Picatrix, an important text of Arabic astral magic, lists a talisman for each Mansion. Here is the Picatrix Mansions List.

What Does the 15th Lunar Mansion Talisman Do?

The Picatrix says,

"The fifteenth Mansion is Algafra, and it is for the acquisition of friendship and all good things that may be desired. When the Moon has passed into this Mansion, fashion from enque (?) the figure of a seated man, holding scrolls in his hand as if they had been collected together."

"Cense it with frankincense and nutmeg and say: You, Achalich, do such and such for me, and make things comply with my wishes. You may ask him for the joining together of friends and lovers, and any thing which pertains to them, and this image should then be carried with you. And know that Achalich is the name of the lord of this Mansion."

(translation by Robert Thomas)

How Is the the 15th Lunar Mansion Talisman Made?

TOP

The first step in making a the 15th Lunar Mansion talisman is to select a date and time when the Moon is in the 15th Lunar Mansion whose tropical boundaries extend from 0 degrees of Libra to 15 degrees Libra and 51 minutes. We then place the Moon on the Ascendant and ensure that it is not combust or making bad aspects with the malefics, Saturn and Mars.
At our chosen time we engrave the image of the 15th Mansion on a silver plate. I have chosen silver because it is the metal ruled by the Moon and is a generally acceptable precious metal for talismans. We then add the name of the Lord of the Mansion and cense it with the appropriate incense and make the appropriate invocation.
A paper talisman of the 15th mansion is also available. I provide an election for the location of the client and a black and white .gif image which the client colors in at the appropriate time. I also provide an amulet holder and appropriate incense as well as instructions for the consecration ritual.

Do You Mass Produce Talismans?

Each talisman is unique and engraved by hand for an individual client. If possible, I will examine the birth chart of each client in order to calibrate the talisman to each individual.
In addition, the election of a time for making talismans is not based merely on a single astrological factor, like the phases of the Moon, but a full traditional astrological analysis encompassing many factors.
There are occasions, however, when the astrological factors are so favorable that I will make a limited number of talismans without being requested by a client. A good example are the talismans for Passion & Harmony in Love & Marriage.

Do Talismans Work?

You can judge for yourself. Recently a student of mine wished to attract the favor of a high government official. Using the image of the 7th Mansion, Aldira, from my Mansions of the Moon Mini-Course he put this image on one side and a photograph of the offical on the other, creating this image and doing the appropriate ritual at the proper time.
That very day the official called him, after not speaking to him for two weeks. The official then visited, hired my student and within a week arranged for a large loan.
