The Lunar Mansions

☾Al-Tarf

Lunar mansion 9 · the glance

The ninth lunar mansion, the Moon's station at the sidelong Glance of the Lion.

Al-Tarf is the Lion's sidelong look, the mansion of perception that arrives from the corner of the eye. It mirrors your watchful intuition — the way you sense a thing before you can name it — and asks you to trust that reading without letting it curdle into suspicion.
