What it means

Mirach and the chain of Andromeda, the belly of a great fish, closing the cycle. Agrippa gives it safe passage through danger, good trade and happy marriages.

• Good for harvests, trade, safe passage through dangerous places and happiness in marriage.

“it encreaseth Harvests and Merchandize, it secureth travellers through dangerous places; it maketh for the joy of marryed couples”

Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, II.33 (J.F., 1651)

Sector and stars

Mirach (β And) is at 6°33′ Aries sidereal, inside the sector of mansion 1, al-Sharatain. None of this mansion's main stars fall inside its own equal sector, so while the Moon is in this mansion it is not yet beside its stars.
